Objectives: Low invasive techniques with a short rehabilitation period became the basis of modern aesthetic medicine. In our daily practice we use methods for a restoration of volume loss for an aging faces and a creation of additional volume for the young faces, an improvement of the skin properties, a muscle relaxation. One of the most important problem is a low invasive, safe and effective lifting of the tissues.
Introduction: The appearance on the aesthetic market of threads based on polydioxanone, a poly-L-lactic acid and a polycaprolacton with a different types of conductors allowed us to provide low-traumatic and predictable results. It’s very important to understand a difference between behavior of the polymers used for thread lifting to avoid complications and to be able to provide the most effective solution
for the patient.
Materials / method: - PDO, PLLA, PCL threads
- Injectable lidocaine 1% with adrenaline
- Antiseptic solution for skin
- Sterile gloves, sterile field, sterile gause, needle 18G, steri-strips
- Sterile scissors
Results: During the presentation an application of threads on various conductors (a sharp needles, a blunt needle, L-cannula, W-cannula), an algorithms for their combination with each other and with other injection techniques will be discussed.
Conclusion: Thread lifting is a minimally invasive, effective procedure with a predictable result. The use of modern conductors reduces the risk of complications, and knowledge of the characteristics of various polymers will allow to individualize a therapy by choosing the optimal combination of threads.
