The “Fox Eye” Thread Lift: What Is It?

It is called the "fox eye effect", the brand new beauty trend that has recently become popular. Launched by testimonials of the calibre of Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, the "Fox Eyes lift" obtained with PDO threads, gives the eyes a tensor effect and an extremely sensual allure.

A look that highlights the eyes and gives an intense and luminous look, a must try if you want a bewitching look like that of the most popular beauty models of the moment.

Don't think it's an absolute novelty. Already in the Middle Ages, noblewomen loved to obtain a seductive and bewitching “feline” look. At the time, however, the only means to achieve it were very uncomfortable "pulling wires" that anchored the temples to lift them towards the sides of the head. But today, fortunately, there are less annoying tools, and certainly more effective to obtain them.

And if the aim is to have a magnetic gaze, the fox eye effect eyebrows are able to make the eyes appear larger and shinier, also giving a slight lifting effect.

The "fox eyes", thanks to the external corners and the tail of the eyebrows raised towards the temporal area, are liked because they make the look more fascinating and mysterious. Not only that: the lifting effect obtained reduces wrinkles around the eyes, with an evident rejuvenation of the area.

The fox eye thread lift treatment is performed under local anaesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. Bioabsorbable and biocompatible traction threads are used which, inserted under the skin, are stretched and anchored in the dermis, thanks to small spines that are anchored to the tissues. This creates a lifting and relaxing effect in the lateral area of the eyebrow. The eyelids are also less heavy and the eyes more open.

The results can be appreciated immediately and last from 12 to 18 months. It is possible to apply a more or less intense traction according to the condition of the skin. In the days following the session there is a progressive relaxation and settlement of the tissues, with a more natural appearance of the eyes and eyelids.

To further improve results, it is possible to combine the treatment with botulinum injections, both to further raise the outer corner of the eyebrow and to smooth out the wrinkles on the sides of the eye.
