Spring Thread - Cosmetic Thread
Spring Thread® cosmetic thread is a patented, next-generation cosmetic solution. Spring Thread® is a perfectly biocompatible thread that has a silicone matrix that provides elasticity and flexibility, and a polyester helix core which provides resistance and control of the elasticity. It has similar elasticity to skin, around 20%, meaning it allows for normal and natural facial movement and expression and so is more comfortable than rigid threads. The silicone is moulded into cogs which point in four directions and are very closely situated: 24 per CM. These cogs allow the thread to very effectively lift and precisely position skin without trauma. Quickly and easily implanted in the subcutaneous fat, Spring Thread® elevates the tissue and accelerates long-term fibrosis. Spring Thread® is CE approved and manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards. Available in over 40 countries, more than 90,000 threads have been implanted since 2008.
FACIAL AGING
An Overview
The aging process changes the main structures of the face, including skin, fat, muscles and bone structure. Skin becomes thinner, losing its plumpness and firmness.
Skin becomes slack with a loss of the elastic tissue (elastin) in the skin and over time this causes the skin to hang loosely.
Loss of fat below the skin in the cheeks, temples, chin, nose, and eye area can also result in loosening skin and a sunken eye appearance.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Addressing The Specific Problems Of Aging
1 Skin Structure Modification
Cosmetics, Mesotherapy, Peels, Lasers, etc. can help to improve the surface of the skin and improve the visible appearance of fine lines, sun damage, pigmented areas and blemishes.
2 Loss of Volume
Traditional fillers and toxins can be injected into the face to temporarily reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and modify facial contours.
3 Skin Sagging
Surgical Lifting or the much less aggressive ‘soft surgical’ technique of Thread Lifting, can lift and reposition tissue that has become flaccid and drooping.
WHAT SPRING THREAD® CAN DO
A Real and Long Lasting Lifting Effect
Spring Thread® allows for dynamic stabilisation of tissues. They can ‘live’, lengthening and shortening, with muscle mobility preserved. The result is a natural effect.
Vertical traction; Natural support of adipose tissues without modification of facial features.
SPRING THREAD® OFFERS
Long Term Tissue Suspension
Youthful Facial Definition
Vertically lifted, tighter tissue with skin quality improvement providing a more youthful appearance.
Natural Results
Thanks to the flexible thread, you get a perfectly natural result that allows for normal facial expression and skin elasticity.
Long Term Action
Extremely long-lasting results, typically very effective for 3 years and more. Fibrosis continues to build months after initial treatment.
Procedure Steps
- Skin Cleansing
- Drawing
- Disinfection
- Anaesthesia
- Disinfection + Redrawing
- Thread Insertion
- Final setting
- Soft cleaning
The thread is placed in the subcutaneous fat, before the SMAS (between 2 and 3 mm deep), but not too superficial to touch any hair follicles. Spring Thread® has a soft needle so as not to damage nerves or vessels and reduce trauma.
Simple Procedure Without Risk of Thread or Node Extrusion
Procedures Used Singularly or Combined for Best Result
The best procedure is selected according to the patient profile (severity of sagging, asymmetry to correct), always choosing the most simple laying technique possible and allowing for easy adjustment with maximum safety.
NATURAL RESULTS
Spring Thread® has similar elasticity to skin meaning it allows for normal and natural facial movements and expression and is not uncomfortable.
LONGER LASTING
Spring Thread® is permanent meaning the results are extremely long lasting (typically 3-5 years) – other threads disintegrate, losing strength and effect quickly.
BETTER PERFORMANCE
Spring Thread® has rounded cogs pointing in four directions and very close: 24 per CM. This means no-trauma and more effective tissue anchoring.
