Diamond Wire MiniLift

Subcutaneous Diamond Wire Assisted Scalpel

Aging leads to impaired tension and elasticity of the facial skin which becomes slack, develops rhytids (wrinkles), and deep groves through the action of gravity and muscle movement used in facial expressions. As a result the face loses its smooth contour and regular oval shape.

In many patients, well developed facial skin deformities, scars, wrinkles, and folds cannot be effectively treated by mere tissue augmentation via biologic or synthetic materials. Such cosmetic defects often need to be corrected by direct surgical removal of redundant skin (skin excisions or facelift); however, this surgical strategy is not always desirable because it can leaves scars and requires long recovery time. Laser resurfacing has recently emerged as a new method to treat scars and wrinkles, and to improve the texture of the skin; laser resurfacing, however, is not effective on deep, fixed folds of the face.

Aesthetic surgery has improved with the development of new operative techniques, using incisionless surgery to subcise skin attachments. It can have long term result superior to repeated dermal fillers.

In order to eliminate or smooth wrinkles, folds, and scars a “wire assisted scalpel” was developed. The procedure may be done as a sole intervention or in combination with Portrait Skin Regeneration, with the aim of release skin from its attachments to deeper planes.
