Dr. Rafael Serena: What is the reason for your visit?
Patient: Doctor, the reason for my visit is, if possible, to improve the flaccidity in the area of the asymmetries and also the neck; the neck worries me a lot.
Dr. Rafael Serena: Very well, we currently have the thread technique. There are three types of tensor threads: mini-threads, which are buried in the skin, those that stretch with a thread and then we cut them and the most advanced ones, which are the ones we will do today. Today we would do some threads that stretch and there is no need to make an incision or put any filling material to get rid of the platysma bands in just 30 minutes. We can gain the mandibular arch in a very easy way.
The treatment consists of first putting a little local anesthetic, a quarter of a drop in each point of the cheek and neck, and infiltrating a fine needle that passes the thread inside the dermis, the subcutaneous cellular tissue and deep part of the skin. By simply stretching this thread I can leave exactly the firmness I want. In this way, the skin is held as if it were surgery or almost like surgery and for 18 months it maintains a perfect firmness. After that, this result gradually disappears.
Dr. Rafael Serena: As you can see the nasolabial fold has been smoothed, wrinkles are softened and the jaw arch is more defined. Thanks to this treatment of tensor threads, in a short time, in 30 minutes, we get a very satisfactory and very natural result.
Patient: I am very happy with the result, what care should I follow after the treatment?
Dr. Rafael Serena: It is very easy, when you finish, you should not touch your face too much during the first day and for 3 weeks you cannot do any aesthetic treatment, nor radiofrequency, nor skin cleansing… When you apply the creams always in an upward direction and above all, when washing your face or taking a shower, make sure that your skin is very dry.
Patient: Thank you doctor.
