What is Endotine Face Lift?
Endotine is an advanced method of improving signs of aging in the middle of the face by repositioning skin and subcutaneous tissues with a temporary implant (Endotine). Endotine consists of a thin strip with five small tines on one end. This device will hold the facial tissues to tighten skin, redefine cheeks and reduce wrinkles over time.
Treatment Procedure
1. Sedation or general anesthesia will be performed to ease the pain and discomfort.
2. Small incisions will be made behind your hairline to secure Endotine, a special absorbable skin lifting device.
3. Endotine will be inserted to pull up sagging skin.
4. The skin will be fixed and sutured.
