Endoscopic forehead lift with Endotine
02
Endoscopic forehead lift with Endotine
Resolve several concerns at once: forehead, glabellar lines, brows and drooping lids.
① ② ③ ④
When drooping brows make the lids look heavy; when the forehead and brows lift during eye opening; deep glabellar or forehead lines; or advanced aging around the forehead and brows.

What is Endotine?
Endoscopic forehead lifting raises drooping brows and smooths forehead lines. An absorbable Endotine implant fixes the separated tissue; five pyramid-shaped tines lift the forehead skin and brows.
Benefits of Endotine forehead lifting
Minimally invasive with little concern about scars
Force distribution
Force distribution
Endotine
Conventional lifting
Surgical method
A minimal incision is made; after tissue is fixed to Endotine, lifting force is distributed evenly.
Skin is incised and fixed with sutures at one point, concentrating force.
Material
Endotine implant, gradually absorbed and fully gone within 12 months
Thread, needle-shaped or silicone implant that remains permanently
Effect
Visible immediately; suitable for deep, heavy wrinkles with a long-lasting lift.

REAL mini elastic lifting
REAL minimally invasive lifting combines the rapid recovery of thread lifting with the tissue-release benefit of incisional lifting, preserving elasticity and softness.
① ② ③ ④ ⑤
For sagging cheeks, mouth wrinkles, nasolabial folds or neck lines; office workers needing quick recovery; lifting after facial contouring or jaw surgery; insufficient results from Ulthera or AccuLifting; or those seeking a natural lift.
Minimal incision, limited dissection, little scarring, fast recovery and visible lift.
Minimal incision, limited dissection, little scarring, fast recovery and visible lift.
Elastic lifting threads and endoscopic release greatly reduce incision size while lasting longer than standard thread lifting. The SMAS is lifted under endoscopic guidance, improving laxity and wrinkles. It combines quick recovery with the stronger wrinkle correction of released incisional lifting.

Questions and answers
Questions and answers
How many lifting procedures do I need?
One session can show results, but duration varies, so specialist assessment is essential.
How painful is lifting?
Pain may last through surgery day or the next day. Severe pain can be controlled with injections and medication during hospitalization.
Will lifting affect daily life?
Early swelling, bruising and tightness are expected. After major swelling and bruising subside in 1–2 weeks, daily activity can resume if strenuous exertion is avoided.
When can I see results?
Incisional facelift results are visible immediately. They may continue changing for up to six months, but stabilize from about 2–3 months onward.
