The technique: Hydrodissection

The gentle separation force of the waterjet: During hydrodissection (water-jet-assisted dissection) the soft tissue is separated or removed using the gentle force of the water-jet. The water-jet assisted preparation method ensures high tissue selectivity with efficient dissection associated with minimal collateral damage.

The gentle separation force of the waterjet

With hydrodissection (water-jet assisted dissection) the soft tissue is separated or removed using the gentle force of the water-jet.

The water-jet assisted preparation method ensures high tissue selectivity with efficient dissection associated with minimal collateral damage.

The solid evidence that the technology is gentle is the reduced development of haematomas and postoperative swelling caused by release of histamines. An additional indicator is the rapid healing process and the completely natural appearance of the postoperative flexibility and mobility of the cheek structures. Water-jet assisted dissection (hydrodissection) enables you to carry out the most gentle facelift possible for your patients.

Usage and benefits

 

Hydrodissection is used to separate or remove the soft tissue by the help of the gentle power of the waterjet.

Advantages and examples for usage

Why Hydrodissection is first choice when you are looking for great results with minimum effort

  • Minimizies trauma to the surrounding tissues of your patient
  • Gentle but effective dissection
  • Tissue-selective dissection
  • Safe and easily controllable tissue dissection
  • Minimal pain: less bruising and swelling
  • Uncomplicated and fast healing of the patient

Facelifts carried out using hydrodissection (AquaLift) are a particularly gentle version of SMAS lifting in which water-jet assisted preparation (hydrodissection) is used.

The SMAS lift (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), in which the connective tissue and muscular structures are lifted and repositioned in a very natural way, is supplemented by the hydrodissection technique. This particularly gentle method, which is called AquaLift and was developed by Dr Tork, includes the preparation of anatomical structures using water-jet assisted dissection (using the body-jet® or body-jet® evo).

The AquaLift hydrodissection technique is not a new technique in principle but rather an extension of the SMAS lift concept to simplify one of the most important steps during the facelift: the dissection. The water-jet assisted preparation method ensures high tissue selectivity with efficient dissection associated with minimal collateral damage.

The method improves the smoothing of nasolabial folds and the lifting and tightening of the chin line, for example. The result is a more alert, livelier expression for the eyes and a completely natural appearance overall. Compared to conventional and significantly more elaborate techniques, AquaLift is associated with considerably less downtime and discomfort and fewer risks.

Unlike treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox), water-jet assisted sweat gland removal is a permanent solution. With water-jet assisted removal of the sweat glands, the skin in the armpits is evenly detached from the underlying tissue using the fine fan-shaped water-jet. The sensory nerves are severed which simplifies the subsequent curettage of the sweat glands. Particularly because the connective tissue in the armpits is so firm, it is recommended to use the precise power of the water-jet.
