Cone Absorbable PCL Thread Lift (New-generation thread)
Thread Lift teachnique is very popular in Korea and the popularity is spreading throughout the world. it is a minimally invasive cosmetic enhancement technique that lifts sagging skin on the face and neck using surgical suture threads. Although thread lift is not a substitute for a facelift, it provides modest and subtle changes rather than dramatic results, and also helps people buy time before a face and neck lift may be needed. The biggest advantage of a thread lift is the absence of visible scars and the very short downtime from routine activities.
Nowadays, Cone-Shaped PCL Absorbable Thread Lift (3rd generation) is an newest innovation of skin lifting and tightening. Its results last much longer than 1st generation PDO [Polydioxanone] thread (2 years compared to 6 months). It has replaced he previous popular threads eg. PDO, Aptos and gold thread which have problems during check-up x-ray examination.
Mechanism
The concept of skin rejuvenation is that the Cone PCL (Polycaprolactone) Thread, an absorbable suture, has special design for hooking up your tissue under the sagging skin so the lifting result can be seen immediately after procedure. Later on, threads will gradually stimulate collagen production until it is completely absorbed by your body within 2 years. Then your own collagen will lift up your skin instead after that time and the results will last for 1-3 years. This provides the better outcome without any surgeries.
Applications of cone PCL Absorbable Thread Lift for:
- Eye brows lifting [correct drooping]
- Sagging of lower face due to aging --Jowl, Lower face, Mid face and Neck
- Nasolabial fold lifting
- More jaw definition and correction of double chin
Surgical Technique:
Dr. Prinya uses the wavy and zigzag technique, which is sewing the PCL threads in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue of the skin. After finishing the sewing, the threads will be placed underneath the skin without seeing the thread on your skin. There is either no surgical scar or wound. However, you may see a few dimples from hooking effect and swelling from anesthetics, which will resolve within a few days. Little pain and discomfort during mouth opening after the procedure can be controlled by taking anti-inflammatory pills and cold pack compression for a few days.
The procedure takes only 15-20 minutes for whole face. The amount of the threads depends on the areas. For example, lifting the 1) Lower and Mid-face or 2) Brow Lift requires 14 PCL barbed threads for 15,000 THB.
