“…Thus, contrary to the opinion of several researchers on the thread lifting effect not lasting more than 6 to 18 months, 6 20 21 22 our proposed technique for enhanced fixation of tissues susceptible to gravitational ptosis allowed us to extend the effect of thread lift for up to at least 24 months. In all of our 357 patients, the lifting effect persisted until the end of the follow-up period.…”

“…Polydioxanone threads have also become widespread giving a high level of patients' satisfaction, characterized by painless setting, a low number of complications, a relatively low cost, a fast recovery period, but within 6 months they completely dissolve, which leads to a rapid attenuation of the visible effect after this period. 6,[19][20][21][22] On the other hand, it was demonstrated that the threads themselves, such as polydioxanone sutures in particular, dissolve within 4 to 6 months, after which the lifted tissues are fixed by a newly formed collagen, which is able to retain them for up to 12 to 15 months, giving a satisfactory result within this period. 5,23 Threads have different lengths and thicknesses and are supplied with various tightening structures, such as knots, barbs, notches, and cones running in different directions.…”

“…In many papers it was stated that the results between the second and the sixth months after the procedure not only sustained but even improved, despite the fact that soluble threads usually degrade during this period, but they are taken over by the newly formed type I and III collagen fibers, synthesis of which was stimulated by barbs and cogs. 22,28 In our study, we focused on longer follow-ups (up to 2 years). Our study showed that a month after the procedure independent observers (surgeons) in a blinded study demonstrated 100% improvement of the WSRS score, which was improved in 92% of cases by more than 1 point.…”

A New Complex Minimally Invasive Thread Lift Method for One-Time Three-Step Fixation of the Face and Neck Soft Tissues

et al. 2022

Background In recent years thread lift has become widespread; however, existing methods need to improve their long-term outcome, which requires considering topographic anatomy of face and neck, especially the ligamentous apparatus. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of an innovative method of one-time three-step thread facelift, which provides an additional support to the ligamentous structures of the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face and neck. Methods The study included 357 patients aged 32 to 67 years with various morphotypes of aging. The original method of thread lift was applied, and its effectiveness was followed up for to 2 years. The Wrinkle Severity Rating Score (WSRS) and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) scores were used for assessment by investigators, independent observers, and patients. Statistical significance was determined using paired t-test and chi-square test. Results The mean WSRS score was 3.88 ± 0.88 before the thread lift, 1.93 ± 0.81 one month after the procedure, and 2.36 ± 0.85 after 2 years of follow-up. The mean GAIS was 4.80 ± 0.04 one month after thread lift, and 4.01 ± 0.04 after 2 years, while in the patients' assessment Global Satisfaction Scale was 4.86 ± 0.02 and 4.10 ± 0.02, respectively. There were no clinically significant complications throughout the observation period. Conclusion The new method of one-time three-step thread fixation of the soft tissues of the face and neck demonstrated a high degree of satisfaction by both experts and patients after 2 years of follow-up. It showed high efficacy and safety, including in the group of patients with pronounced age-related changes of the skin of face and neck.

A busca por cuidados estéticos com o objetivo de reprimir os sinais de envelhecimento da pele tem sido cada vez maior com o passar do tempo. A utilização dos fios absorvíveis para a bioestimulação de colágeno e consequente redução de linhas finas e rugas tem se mostrado um método seguro e eficaz para o rejuvenescimento da pele, lifting facial e melhora da autoestima. Dessa forma, o presente artigo tem como objetivo descrever os mecanismos de bioestimulação de colágeno por fios absorvíveis e demonstrar a eficácia da regressão do envelhecimento após a utilização dessa técnica e o nível de segurança que ela apresenta. Esse estudo trata-se de uma revisão narrativa de literatura, que busca agregar informações sobre o tema definido. Os resultados demonstraram que a utilização de fios absorvíveis de PDO, PLLA e PCL foram eficazes para o tratamento da melhora da flacidez facial, do volume da mandíbula e das dobras nasolabiais, resultando em um rejuvenescimento facial. Podem ocorrer algumas intercorrências, apesar de raras, como edema, hematoma, extrusão do fio, infecção e irregularidades na pele. O fator crítico associado ao tema é a seleção adequada do paciente, sendo uma técnica segura e eficaz se realizada com as devidas normas de biossegurança e no plano dérmico correto.

Introduction Although various products are commonly used for skin rejuvenation, solid-type hyaluronic acid (HA) as an injectable form has not been researched or utilized. This study aimed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of solid-type HA in thread form, which differs from the conventional gel-type HA commonly used. Method Solid-type HA threads, conventional HA fillers, and polydioxanone (PDO) threads were inserted into the dorsal subcutaneous layer of mice. Photographs were taken on days 0, 1, 3, and 7, and on day 7, the samples were harvested for histological analysis. Inflammatory reactions and detection of collagen were confirmed through tissue staining, and real-time PCR was conducted to quantify collagen synthesis. Results In the histological analysis, the PDO threads exhibited a greater inflammatory response compared to the HA threads. Masson’s trichrome staining revealed a higher degree of collagen synthesis in the HA thread group compared to the HA filler group. While collagen type 1 expression was significantly higher in the PDO thread group than in the HA thread group, the HA thread group showed higher expression levels of collagen type 3. Furthermore, the PDO thread group demonstrated a statistically significant increase in TGF-β1 compared to the HA group. Conclusion This in vivo study demonstrated the stable application of solid-type pure HA threads and their potential for inducing collagen production, while also yielding a low inflammatory response. The findings highlight the promising applications of solid-type HA in the field of cosmetic dermatology.
