Tensioning Wires

Lifting threads are biodegradable filaments that are inserted under the skin to tighten and lift sagging facial tissues. They are made from safe and biocompatible materials, such as polydioxanone (PDO), polylactic acid (PLA) or polycaprolactone (PCL), which break down naturally in the body over time. These threads not only provide an immediate lifting effect, but also stimulate collagen production, improving the firmness and elasticity of the skin in the long term.

Benefits of Treatment with Tension Threads

Immediate Lifting: The tightening threads provide an immediate lifting effect, lifting and tightening sagging skin.
Collagen Stimulation: The threads stimulate collagen production, improving the firmness and elasticity of the skin in the long term.
Natural Results: The procedure offers natural results, maintaining facial expression.
Quick Recovery: It is a minimally invasive treatment with a short recovery time.
Duration of Effect: Results can last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the type of thread and the individual response of the patient.

The Thread Tension Procedure

Initial Consultation: Dr. Pareja will evaluate the patient’s facial structure, medical history, and expectations to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Skin Preparation: The area to be treated is cleaned and local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Thread Insertion: Using a fine needle or cannula, Dr. Pareja inserts the tightening threads under the skin in specific areas. The threads are strategically placed to lift and tighten the fabrics.
Adjustment and Finishing: Once inserted, the threads are adjusted to achieve the desired lifting effect. Dr. Pareja will ensure that the threads are correctly positioned and that the results are symmetrical and natural.

Recovery and Aftercare Recovery time is short, and patients can return to their normal activities in a few days. They may experience some temporary side effects, such as:

Mild swelling
Redness
Bruises
Sensitivity in treated areas

These effects usually disappear in a few days. Dr. Pareja will provide specific aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding excessive sun exposure, not engaging in strenuous exercise, and not massaging the treated areas for the first 24-48 hours.

Results and Duration The results of thread treatment are visible immediately after the procedure, with progressive improvement in the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated. The results can last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the type of thread used and the individual characteristics of the patient. Periodic maintenance treatments can help prolong and optimize results.

Risks and Complications Thread treatment is safe when performed by a trained professional like Dr. Pareja. However, there are some potential risks, such as infection, allergic reactions, asymmetry, and in rare cases, thread displacement. Dr. Pareja will take all necessary precautions to minimize these risks and ensure a safe and satisfactory experience.
