Tensioning Threads: Firmness and natural volume without surgery

Share on:

Tensioning Threads have been accumulating preferences among people who want to improve the normal deterioration of the skin of our face, in a simple and fast way and, without having to resort to cosmetic surgery, which demands time and greater effort.

Through this technique it is possible to significantly reduce sagging and facial wrinkles, as well as to redefine the oval of the face and the contour of the jaw. They are also used in other parts of the body.

Tension threads have been used in cardiac surgery for more than a decade, so they are applied without any risk to the patient, since they are safe. Our body tolerates it without any problem.

How do they work and what is their impact on our skin?

The tensioning threads are characterized by being micro-filaments the thickness of a hair, made of a resorbable material that is compatible with the body, which means that they do not produce allergies or rejection and are integrated into our skin.

Its tightening effect to reduce flaccidity of the skin is achieved without surgery, not invasive, on an outpatient basis, without a drop of blood, with very mild, local topical anesthesia, without pain either during the procedure or afterwards.

By inserting the threads into the subcutaneous tissue, we seek the creation of fibrosis around it as a response, with the consequent production of type I and II collagen and fibroblasts during the thread reabsorption process. 

We know that collagen is the most important structural protein in the dermis located between the dermis and the hypodermis, to which we owe the strength and flexibility of our skin and its firm and healthy appearance.

The fibroblast is responsible for the synthesis of all the fibers of the connective tissue, including reticular, collagen and elastic. You may lose the ability to divide, but you can regain it when required. The restoration of connective tissue is effected by the growth of young fibroblasts.

The final result of this process that occurs in our skin due to the impact of the tensioning threads is expressed in a strong, elastic skin with a better structure.
