What are endotines, how do they work on the skin, and what results can be expected from the use of endotines – read now.

Peculiarities of using endotines for the face and neck

For the first time on the beauty market, endotines for the face, produced by an American company, appeared about 13 years ago – in 2003. Since then, more than four hundred thousand plastic surgeries have been performed using endotines, which indicates their popularity and effectiveness.

Endotines – these are special fixators that are implanted into the deep layers of the skin during a surgical operation and thus make it possible to perform a face and neck lift.

They are  3-5 mm plates of various shapes, which have 3-5 teeth for fixation to tissues and are made of a material that is fully compatible with body tissues. The composition of such plates includes polyglycolic and polylactic acids, which provide the implantation process.

The structure of facial endotines and features of the implantation process

All facial endotines are divided into several types, depending on the area in which they will be implanted:

• plates for fixing eyebrows;
• forehead lift boards;
• boards for correction of the middle zone of the face;
• plates for lifting the lower face.

The boards are implanted under the control of an endoscope: through small incisions in the skin, endotines are injected into its deep layers. The sharp spikes on the endotines are immobilizers that fix the tissues in the desired position. The teeth make it possible to evenly distribute the tension that has arisen in the tissues. In addition, on the reverse side of the plates there is a special protrusion that attaches them to the bone tissue. Approximately 3 months after the implantation of endotins, the soft and hard tissues of the face grow together, after a few more months the plates dissolve and are removed from the body, and in their place new connective tissue fibers are formed, causing a lifting effect.

Benefits of Endotine Facial Tightening

There are a fairly large number of surgical and cosmetic lifting techniques. All of them differ in their effectiveness, trauma, duration of action and other characteristics.  The use of endotines for skin lifting has its advantages over other methods:

• the method is safe: the composition of the plates reduces the risk of rejection and the likelihood of allergic reactions;
• strong fixation of the implanted boards guarantees the preservation of the lifting effect for several years;
• endoscopic surgery occurs with minimal tissue damage;
• due to the breadth of coverage, facial tissues are evenly tightened over its entire surface;
• thanks to the hooks on the facial endotines, there is no tissue asymmetry after a lift.

Results of face lift using endotines

The use of endotin fixators is a fairly popular and effective low-traumatic method of face and neck tissue tightening. This technique helps to eliminate the following problems:

• changing the contours and oval of the face;
• deep wrinkles and folds on the forehead;
• drooping eyebrows;

• ptosis of eyelid skin;
• bags and dark circles under the eyes;
• sunken cheeks;
• deep nasolabial folds;
• Ptosis of the skin in the area of ​​the cheekbones, cheeks and neck;
