The facial aging process entails alterations in the volume, shape, and texture of all skin layers over time. Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a well-established safe skin filler with unique properties to resolve some skin alterations by stimulating neocollagenesis. The vectoral-lift (V-lift) technique targets the global repositioning of facial structures by addressing distinct anatomical injection planes. It includes deep facial augmentation with Radiesse Plus to retain ligament restructuring and superficial subcutaneous enhancement with diluted Radiesse Duo. Herein, we present cases that illustrate the use of this approach.
This pilot study enrolled 36 participants (33 women and three men; ages 37-68 years) in a Brazilian clinical setting, and all patients underwent a single treatment. Photographs were taken at rest, in frontal and oblique views, before injection, and 90 days after treatment.
Treatment resulted in elevation of the upper and middle face, notable improvements in the infraorbital hollow, and adjustment of the mean facial volume.
The V-lift technique is a three-dimensional pan-facial treatment that relies on ligament support and face vectoring to obtain a lifting effect and facial contour restoration. It encompasses deep facial augmentation involving the use of Radiesse Plus for restructuring and retaining ligaments and Radiesse Duo for superficial subcutaneous enhancement. This approach targets a global repositioning of the facial structures by addressing distinct anatomical injection planes. It achieves a repositioning of the overall facial anatomy without requiring a substantial volumetric expansion.

面部衰老过程会导致所有皮肤层的体积、形状和质地随时间发生改变。钙羟磷灰石（CaHA）是一种经过充分验证的安全皮肤填充剂，具有独特的特性，可通过刺激新胶原蛋白生成来解决一些皮肤改变。向量提升（V-lift）技术通过针对不同解剖学注射平面来实现面部结构的整体重新定位。它包括使用 Radiesse Plus 进行深层面部增强以保留韧带重塑，以及使用稀释的 Radiesse Duo 进行浅层皮下增强。在此，我们介绍了一些病例，以说明这种方法的应用。
这项巴西临床研究纳入了 36 名参与者（33 名女性和 3 名男性；年龄 37-68 岁），所有患者均接受了单次治疗。在注射前、治疗后 90 天，分别在休息、正面和斜位拍摄照片。
治疗结果为提升中上面部，明显改善眶下凹陷，并调整平均面部体积。
V-lift 技术是一种三维全脸治疗方法，依赖于韧带支撑和面部向量来获得提升效果和面部轮廓修复。它包括深层面部增强，使用 Radiesse Plus 进行结构重塑和保留韧带，以及使用 Radiesse Duo 进行浅层皮下增强。这种方法通过针对不同的解剖学注射平面来实现面部结构的整体重新定位。它实现了整个面部解剖结构的重新定位，而无需进行大量的体积扩张。
