The tensor threads as a facial rejuvenation treatment

Tightening threads: the non-surgical solution for a younger looking face

The tensor and support threads, also known as non-surgical lifting of the body and face, is one of the techniques that allow, without cuts or sutures, without hospitalization or anesthesia, to achieve a true rejuvenation of the body and face, preserving the features and natural characteristics of each person, which is what most concerns patients, who want to achieve a change without losing their own expression and beauty. The tensor threads require little time and is performed in the office. It is an easily accessible technique that allows both doctors and patients to correct the sequelae of the passage of time, recovering the tone of the tissues without the need for a surgical procedure with a painful postoperative period or requiring the discomfort of having to stop the activities of daily life for recovery.

Who are they indicated for?

It is clear that the tensor threads, in their different types and versions, do not necessarily replace surgery, but it is proven that they are an excellent technique that collaborates in the recovery of tissue tension immediately and in the long term.

Threads are indicated in many patients as a preventive treatment for the progression of flaccidity due to their anchoring action, which can delay up to years or finally discard the choice of a surgical lifting.

The tensor threads may not be indicated as an exclusive rejuvenation technique in those men or women with marked signs of aging, with excessive sagging skin and wrinkles, but also provide a great tightening effect, improving the contour of the face, enhancing cheekbones and buttocks for all those who do not wish to access the operating room and resort to non-invasive techniques to look and feel better. In the latter cases, where surgery is not an option, tensor threads are becoming an extremely useful intermediate option, which can be complemented with the application of botulinum toxin and other facial filler products.

What does the treatment consist of?

In general, the threads applied are made of polypropylene, a material perfectly biocompatible with the human body, which is also used for other cardiovascular and ophthalmologic interventions.

The technique is simple and consists in the introduction of the threads under the skin with a guide needle, specially designed for this purpose. Each thread is provided with small spicules that are the essential characteristic that allows them to anchor in the subcutaneous cellular tissue. Once introduced, they are pulled and a natural stimulation of the tissue structure is produced, thus obtaining the lifting effect in the treated area, whether it is the neck, cheekbones, eyebrows, buttocks and arms. Once the intervention is finished, the result is already visible. For the definitive changes, it is necessary to wait from 2 to 3 months for the threads to settle in the tissue and settle in their anchoring effects. As with any aesthetic procedure, there is a minimal risk of redness and swelling.
