After the age of 40, a slight sagging of the skin in the arms may appear. The placement of tensor threads can correct this unsightly discomfort and prevent the progression of sagging due to its anchoring action. These threads of different lengths are composed of PDO (Polidoxanone), a bioabsorbable and biocompatible material. The procedure is completely painless and is performed on an outpatient basis, in about 30 minutes after which the patient can live a completely normal life without any discomfort.
Placement technique
To place the Japanese tensor threads the first step is to delimit the area where the treatment will be applied from a drawing of lattice lines similar to a network.
The thread is placed under the skin. It is introduced through a slight puncture and then the cannula used is removed. In this way the thread is tensioned without the need for an anchor.
The magic threads are not visible and cannot be felt.
Results of the treatment with tensor threads
After placing the threads, the area where the treatment has been applied is mechanically tightened and the skin is redensified. This slows down the sagging of the tissues and makes the skin remain firm and static for a longer period of time.
In the tissues around the area where the thread mesh has been placed, the level of elastin and collagen is increased.
These threads do not produce any type of allergy or rejection, so it is not necessary to perform an allergy test.
The treatment with threads for arms can be performed in a single session or in more, depending on the case. The number of sessions needed will be determined by the number of threads that need to be placed for the treatment. To know how many are necessary, it is necessary to consult with the specialist. The important thing is not to exceed three sessions and that these are always more than one month apart.
The placement of tensor threads is recommended for people from 40 years of age who suffer from flaccidity in the arms. The results of the treatment are maintained for approximately 12 months.
