A new technique for eliminating or reducing glabellar frown lines and forehead creases with a small (3- to 5-cm) incision, KTP (potassium [K]-titanyl-phosphate) laser (Laserscope), and endoscope (Karl Storz) has been performed on 62 patients over the last 18 months. This endolaser technique takes advantage of the unique properties of the frequency-doubled Nd:Yag (neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet) (KTP) laser coupled with an optimized quartz contact probe. It enables the surgeon to incise or excise the procerus, corrugator, and frontalis muscles, with little or no bleeding, at a distance from a small incision immediately behind the hairline. This small incision frontal lift has been as effective as the standard forehead lift in rejuvenation of the upper face, avoiding the paresthesias, scalp itch, headaches, periorbital ecchymosis, and hair loss that are common sequelae of the forehead lift. Recovery time has been markedly reduced.
在过去18个月里，已对62例患者实施了一种新技术，该技术通过一个小（3至5厘米）切口、KTP（磷酸钛氧钾）激光（激光视野公司）和内窥镜（卡尔·史托斯公司）来消除或减少眉间皱纹和前额皱纹。这种内窥镜激光技术利用了倍频Nd:Yag（钕:钇铝石榴石）（KTP）激光的独特特性，并结合了优化的石英接触探头。它使外科医生能够在发际线后方小切口一定距离处，切开或切除降眉间肌、皱眉肌和额肌，出血很少或不出血。这种小切口前额提升术在上面部年轻化方面与标准前额提升术一样有效，避免了前额提升术常见的感觉异常、头皮瘙痒、头痛、眶周瘀斑和脱发等后遗症。恢复时间已显著缩短。
