Introducing VectorLift®

A 3-step solution for non-invasive laser eyebrow lifting and upper eyelid rejuvenation

THE POPULARITY OF brow lifts has increased in recent years, even among younger patients who do not display droopy eyebrows caused by aging. Trendsetters such as Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner have popularized the so called ‘Foxy Eyes look’. The fashionable appearance of almond-shaped eyes with uplifted eye and eyebrow corners has become the new beauty standard and is—literally—raising eyebrows around the world.

There are many options to cater to the rising popularity of brow lifts, ranging from surgical options that may leave scars (such as lateral brow lifts) to less invasive PDO threads, fillers and Botox. Fotona offers a more innovative solution in the form of a non-invasive laser procedure called VectorLift®, a less invasive technique compared to most other procedures. The unique VectorLift® approach produces impressive and natural looking results with eyebrow lifting and upper eyelid rejuvenation, without the need for insertion of artificial objects, needles or stitches; instead using the power of light to raise brows naturally by stimulating collagen production.

How does it work?

VectorLift® combines forehead eyebrow elevation with eyelid and scalp tightening. The first step involves treating the forehead, followed by extending the treatment to the scalp in order to provide a strong hold or anchor point for the lifting effect. Finally, treatment of the upper eyelid contributes to addressing eyelid laxity. ■ Step 1 Tightening to elevate the eyebrow tail and tissue above the eyelid ■ Step 2 Increasing the traction vector total surface ■ Step 3 Upper eyelid tightening. The VectorLift® device provides the optimal combination of a virtually immediate skin tightening effect with long-term rejuvenation due to new collagen formation, all achieved using an innovative technique known as hyperstacking of low-energy Fotona SMOOTH® pulses, which are safe and gentle. How comfortable is the treatment? The degree of invasiveness and comfort of a treatment play an important role in the decision process of patients deciding to undergo aesthetic procedures. VectorLift® is a comfortable and non-aggressive treatment that allows patients to return immediately to their normal routine. The total treatment time is around 25 minutes, and 3 to 4 sessions are recommended. The procedure is usually performed under topical anesthesia. Anesthetic cream is not required in the scalp area.

Raised eyebrows may open up their eyes and take years off their appearance with a more refreshed and youthful look. The VectorLift® treatment is focused on the upper third of the face. For an even more stunning overall effect, it can be successfully combined with treatments of the mid and lower areas of the face, such as Fotona4D®, LipLase® and SmoothEye®. Fotona’s non-invasive aesthetic procedures are a perfect choice for anyone who wants to look younger while still keeping a natural look, without dramatic alterations. Training in VectorLift® is provided through the Laser and Health Academy as a part of a workshop on Fotona’s minimally invasive aesthetic treatments, conducted under the guidance of experts in medical laser technology.
