Fox eyes lift—A new protocol for eyebrow elevation with laser Fotona

Abstract Background The eyelids play an important role in our appearance and are usually the first to show signs of age. The Fotona SP Spectro Systems consist of a range of noninvasive laser treatments that work together synergistically to tighten the collagen in four dimensions and provide long‐lasting firmness to the face. The Fotona SP Spectro combines two wavelengths: Er:YAG (2940 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) with four distinct treatments: SmoothLiftingTM, FRAC3®, PIANO®, and SupErficialTM, allowing safe, painless, noninvasive, and no downtime rejuvenation. Aims To present a new protocol of treatment with Fotona SP Spectro for eyebrow elevation, which we call fox eyes lift (FEL), and compare it to the standard SmoothEye® (SE) protocol. Methods This is a prospective, interventional, split‐face study. The sample consisted of 21 subjects (19 women) with a mean age of 50.1 ± 7.9 years who underwent two different protocols, that is, SE on one side and FEL on the other. The protocol used on each side was selected by drawing lots. Three sessions were held at 1‐month intervals. Standardized photographic documentation was obtained before and 30 days after the end of treatment. Eyebrow position before and after complete treatment was quantified using ImageJ software. Results Statistical analysis by ANOVA showed a significant improvement in eyebrow position after treatment with both protocols, with a significantly greater effect of FEL ( p = 0.0003 d = 0.95). Conclusion Fox eyes lift is an efficient and safe technique providing significant improvement in the position of the eyebrow.
