Wrinkles are one of the most obvious signs
of aging process. Especially, wrinkles on forehead and
eyelids make individuals look much
older than their actual age. Such condition
can be improved by
Endotine lift using endoscopy.
Endoscopic lift is a surgical using an
endoscope to accurately resect the
muscle which causes wrinkles and firmly
relocate skin and muscle.
■ Point01
Using an endoscope allows minimal incision
for removal of wrinkles.
■ Point02
There is less pain and scar after surgery.
■ Point03
Swelling can be minimized since damage on
lymph or blood vessels are avoided.
■ Endotine
Endotine, approved by FDA in 2003,
is a specialized implant commonly used for
lift procedures worldwide.
It is absorbed into skin
within a year yet leaves a very strong effect for
lifting droopy skin for a long time.
Minimum incision allows scar to be
unnoticeable after surgery.

■ Incision
Incision is normally made at 3 places behind the hairline and 2 places in side of both ears for 1-2cm length. After incision, an endoscope is inserted to proceed the surgery.
■ Separation and Fixation
1. Separate tissues from forehead and
underneath temporal fascia of side hairline.
2. Resect the muscle which creates wrinkles between the eyes.
3. Pull up the separated tissues using Endotine and firmly fix on forehead.
Forehead lift using new material called Endotine
is one of the anti-aging procedures to effective and safely
improve wrinkles on forehead and droopy eyes.
Once Endotine is placed to pull up tissues,
it adheres and dissolves within a year
leaving long lasting results.
