The Endotine Ribbon is a device with two rows of tiny spikes that could be used with tiny incisions in lifting areas on the face just like thread lift. The ribbon is absorbed by the body in just about 6 months.

 

The 30-minute procedure for endotine ribbon in less invasive. The patient may undergo the operation immediately when they visit as long as all laboratory requirements are met. No need for scheduling. Healing period takes about 2 weeks and patients could see the dramatic results in as little as 10 days.

 

The ENDOTINE Ribbon is a bioabsorbable implant designed for lower face suspension of the jowl and neck. It is made of 82/18 L-lactide/glycolide, similar to LactoSorb, and consists of a long slender leash area. When implanted, the Ribbon engages the deep anatomy (SMAS or platysma) of the newly created surgical plane, and is sutured to the temporal or mastoid fascia to maintain the vector of lift until biological healing takes place. The Ribbon replaces conventional suspension suture used in lower face and neck suspension surgery, and is an effective alternative to ’thread lifting’.
