Comparing the effectiveness of laser vs. conventional endoforehead lifting

Abstract: The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of laser versus conventional endoforehead lifting. Over a period of 12 years (January 2000-January 2012), a total of 110 patients with hyperactive muscles over the frontal region have been collected for a retrospective study. The SurgiLase 150XJ CO laser system, in conjunction with the flexible FIBERLASE, was used. The endoscope was 4 mm in diameter with an angle of 30°. The primary efficacy measurement was the assessment of the final outcome f… Show more

“…After surgical forehead lifting, para-hypoesthesia of the parietal region is quite common due to a temporary lesion or inflammation of the supraorbital nerve. Additionally, some patients may experience temporary partial paralysis of one of the facial nerve branches, especially the frontal branch, or a scar with alopecia, among others 23,50 . Given these considerations and in order to reduce patient discomfort, the fat grafting technique was preferred over the brow lift.…”

Considering the correction of the profile in the area, fat grafting complications were temporary pain and swelling of injection's site, but nobody presented nerve damage or other major complications.…”
