Subcutaneous undermining for brow lifting is not a new technique, but the gliding brow lift is evolutionary in the sense that it can be done through 1 or 2 tiny incisions and the brow shape maintained with transcutaneous running sutures (the hemostatic net). Undermining over the frontalis muscle and galea is performed using blunt dissectors and the lifting is done with superior traction, holding the brow in the desired shape with the hemostatic net.

D006490	Hemostatics	Agents acting to arrest the flow of blood.

These agents function more at the capillary level and are not effective at stemming arterial or venous bleeding under any significant intravascular pressure.
