With threads, a new era in the treatment of rejuvenation is opening: a global and qualitative approach.
Cosmetic medicine goes beyond mere wrinkle filling or restoration of lost volumes. Now, we give consistency to the skin to make it dazzling new, dense and radiant.
Benefits of the technique
A linking of the face with threads makes a natural and lasting result without changing expressions and a safe technique, non-invasive, with few side effects.
Technology
Threads are in polydioxanone (PDO), a bio-material used in surgery for 30 years. The thread is mounted on a very thin needle for supporting and limiting the risk of hematoma and pain.
Several types of threads exist and are selected according to the area and on the desired effect. The LFL PDO threads of CROMA PHARMA have a CE marking and a certificate ensuring quality and safety.
Is it safe?
The PDO is an inert material, biodegraded by the body. Possible side effects are those of an injection, namely a hematoma, swelling or redness transient. The sustainability is 9 months on average.
Thread laying in practice
Up to eighty threads, without over-correcting effect because the thread doesn’t “swells” with water. It is inserted through the needle into the middle dermis of it, to live without ever seeing the surface. I would say that this is a very successful application of contemporary aesthetic medicine, not seeking to impose a standard of beauty, but to reveal the truly own beauty to everyone.
Collagen stimulation mechanisms
PDO threads, upon degradation create new collagen and elastin. So it is with our own “skin” that we rejuvenate. Of the slack areas, new fabric production allows a “lifting effect”, very soft.
What are the indications?
Ideal for improving the firmness and redefine facial contours, correcting sagging arms, chest and neck.
Threads reshape the face, soften the wrinkles and the lip contour. For example, five threads of LFL BASIC® on the lower eyelid smooth out the area. The LFL BARB II® thread, bidirectional cogs to redefine the oval and struggling against the jowl.
In conclusion, using PDO threads is non-invasive with little downtime, very natural results. At the intersection of medical practices of the East and the West, this threads are promising.
