Synergy with thread or filler
Smooth Liner is particularly effective in difficult areas not easily tackled by other modalities.
“One of the patients presented at my practice with deep forehead lines for which he tried different removal treatments to no avail. This patient benefited greatly from Smooth Liner treatment. As the forehead skin is relatively thick, needles sometimes bend from excessive pressure. Therefore, Smooth Liner cannula is particularly suitable for this area.”
Smooth Liner is not without side effects.

“Every device has set parameters. When the allowable range is ignored, burns may occur. Treating areas with complicated nerve or vascular structure requires particular caution. As the skin in the neck is thin and weak, fillers are not suitable but repeated treatments using saline is more desirable. Caution is required as the PIH risk rises with treatment of the upper layers of the skin, excessive irradiation of high-frequency in narrow areas, and wider treatment area. However, side effects are rare if the procedure is not done overambitiously.”
Dr. Ahn is currently the academic director of Minimal Invasive Plastic Surgery Association, The Korea Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. He is, therefore, more interested in medical devices that bring maximal effect with minimal invasiveness.
“Patients these days want non-surgical treatments. A cryo lypolysis device, Zeltiq or HIFU are of particular interest to them. Therefore, I am more interested in non-surgical fat reduction and lifting devices.
Afterword, Moderate Smooth Liner procedures do not cause side effects.
