HARMONIC® Technology gives you the precise dissection you need to create tissue flaps and provides important recovery benefits for your facial plastic surgery patients.

In an independent study of 420 patients who underwent a facelift with the HARMONIC Ultrasonic Scalpel, patients returned to normal social life eight days on average after surgery. Patients experienced less bruising and swelling compared to alternative methods.*

HARMONIC SYNERGY® Curved Blade brings the advantages of ultrasonic technology to plastic surgery.
