About this treatment
In one paragraph

The Sleepy-Eye Botox Program at Waleerat Clinic utilizes a precision Botox protocol specifically designed for patients with European, Russian, Middle-Eastern, and Latin eye anatomy. It involves two micro-injections into the lateral orbicularis oculi muscle to relax the downward pull of the brow, allowing the frontalis muscle to lift the brow tail.

This creates an open-eyed appearance. The program typically costs from ฿6,900 for the sleepy-eye lift to ฿16,900 with a full-face program.

Treatments take approximately 5-20 minutes and require only topical anesthesia. Located in Bangkok, this treatment is FDA-approved.

Results are typically noticeable within 7-14 days.

A precision Botox protocol developed for European, Russian, Middle-Eastern, and Latin patients whose eye anatomy benefits from lateral-brow elevation rather than the high-arch lift suited to Asian faces. Two micro-doses (typically 1–2 units each) into the lateral orbicularis oculi muscle — the depressor that pulls the brow downward — relax that downward pull and let the frontalis (forehead lifter) raise the lateral brow tail.

The result: an open-eyed, awake appearance with no surgical incision. Often paired with whole-face Botox in a single international-patient appointment.

Preparation and aftercare for Sleepy-Eye Botox Program (Brow & Eyelid Lift)

Research-informed guidance for this treatment type. Your doctor’s written plan after assessment always takes priority.

Before your appointment

  • Tell the doctor about swallowing, breathing, nerve or muscle problems, previous toxin treatment, pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infection, and every medicine or supplement you use.
  • Do not stop prescribed medicine on your own; ask the prescribing clinician if any change is needed.
  • Confirm the treatment area, intended effect, product, dose plan, and follow-up before treatment.

After treatment

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area; apply makeup gently.
  • Follow the activity timing in your written plan. Evidence does not support blanket rules about lying down or air travel for every patient.
  • Use the clinic's 1:1 contact path if recovery differs from the plan.

What may be expected

  • Small injection-site bumps, redness, tenderness or bruising may occur and usually settle.

Contact us promptly

  • Contact the clinic for new eyelid or brow droop, marked asymmetry, visual symptoms, or symptoms that worsen.
  • Seek emergency care for difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing, or generalized weakness.

1:1 follow-up

Before you leave, the team records your treatment, expected recovery, follow-up timing and direct contact path. A doctor reviews concerns when needed.

Common questions
How is this different from a 'standard' Botox brow lift?+
The injection points and dosing are calibrated for non-Asian orbital anatomy — Western/Slavic patients have a different orbital ridge shape, lower set brow, and stronger lateral depressor than typical Asian anatomy. A 'one-size' Korean technique often gives non-Asian patients an over-arched 'Spock-brow' look. We adjust both placement and units to give a natural lift.
Is this for ptosis (medical droop)?+
No — true ptosis (oculomotor or levator-related drooping) requires Ptosis Correction Surgery, not Botox. This is for cosmetic brow drop / hooded look from age or anatomy. Your doctor will assess whether your concern is cosmetic or medical during consultation.
Will my eyebrows look strange?+
When dosed correctly, no — the lift is 1–2 mm at most, just enough to wake the eye. Over-dosing causes a Spock arch; we deliberately under-dose and prefer to top up at week 2 if needed rather than chase a strong correction at week 1.
Can I do this with full-face Botox?+
Yes — that's exactly the Sleepy-Eye Program: lateral lift + forehead + glabella + crow's feet (and masseter if requested) in one 20-minute appointment, designed for international patients.
How long does it last?+
Typically 8–12 weeks. The lateral orbicularis is a thin muscle, so micro-doses don't last as long as glabellar Botox. Plan top-ups around your travel schedule.
How much does a Botox brow lift cost?+
The starting price is shown on this page; the actual price depends on the method that suits you, the amount or number of threads used and the area treated. Brow and eye-tail lifting can be approached with Botox, filler, eye-tail threads or a subbrow lift — each suits a different anatomy. The physician assesses your brow, eyelid and goals at consultation and gives the total price before treatment.
6 more questions+
Is Sleepy-Eye Botox Program (Brow & Eyelid Lift) halal-friendly?+
Botulinum toxin is bacteria-derived (Clostridium botulinum), no porcine, no alcohol vehicle. Halal-compatible per common scholarly opinion; not formally LPPOM-MUI certified. If you avoid animal-derived materials, this treatment is open to you. Tell the physician at consultation and the specific product and lot used on the day can be confirmed with you. This reflects the ingredients used, not a halal certification.
What happens during a Sleepy-Eye Botox Program session?+
Brow & lid mapping — Doctor analyses your brow position, depressor strength, and frontalis tone — all of which differ between Asian and non-Asian anatomy. Cooling compress — 30–60 seconds of cold for comfort. Micro-dose placement — 1–2 units into the lateral orbicularis oculi on each side, plus optional 2 units to the corrugators if frowning is contributing. Optional full-face program — Forehead, glabella, masseter (where indicated) added in the same session. A physician assesses your face first and sets the plan; what is done and where follows from that assessment.
Who is a good candidate for Sleepy-Eye Botox Program?+
Generally considered for: Patients noticing brow drop or hooded upper-eyelid skin · Travelling patients booking a single Bangkok visit for full-face Botox · Non-Asian patients seeking an anatomy-appropriate brow lift · Patients who don't want surgical eyelid surgery. Whether it suits you is decided by a physician at assessment, and there are people for whom it is not advised.
Does Sleepy-Eye Botox Program hurt?+
Anaesthesia for this treatment: Topical (cooling) — usually not required. A session runs about 5 minutes (sleepy-eye alone) · 20 minutes with full-face program. How much a person feels varies, and anything that concerns you is worth raising at assessment.
What is the recovery like after Sleepy-Eye Botox Program?+
Downtime: None. That is the general case rather than a promise about you; ask your physician before planning anything that depends on the date.
How many sessions before I see results?+
Visible 3–7 days, peak at 14 days, lasts 8–12 weeks. Individual results vary.
