Remove Deep Facial Lines From the Inside Out

(Naples, Florida) Kent V. Hasen, M.D., Naples based, board certified plastic surgeon, performs an innovative technique filling the cosmetic gap that Botox and facial fillers can't. Dr. Hasen uses the SurgiWire™ to quickly soften deep facial lines and scars. This offers hope to patients who want to improve their appearance, but were not candidates for fillers alone due to the depth of their wrinkles and scars.

Surgiwire treats deep facial lines form the inside out – without the need for major invasive surgery. The SurgiWire is compromised of two small needles connected by a very thin wire. The needles are strategically inserted just under the skin and the wire is threaded around the line and moved through the underlying tissue. The wire is completely removed, and once the tissue connections are separated, the facial line instantly releases.

"With SurgiWire, I can treat the underlying problem first then decide if fillers are needed," says Dr. Hasen. "This allows me to achieve a superior cosmetic result for those previously untreatable patients."

SurgiWire is used as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with autologous fat or facial fillers in clinical applications. It can be used to release deep lines between the eyes, around the side of the nose, and in the upper and lower lip areas. It can also be used to treat acne scars.
