PCL THREADING

PCL thread lifting is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses Polycaprolactone (PCL), a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, to create lifting effects on the skin. PCL threads are inserted into the subcutaneous tissue using a specialized technique to stimulate collagen production and promote skin tightening. Unlike other absorbable threads, PCL has a longer duration of action, making it an effective solution for longer-lasting results.

The procedure works by encouraging collagen synthesis, which improves skin elasticity and firmness, leading to a more youthful appearance. PCL threads gradually dissolve over time, but the effects can last for a year or more due to the continued collagen stimulation.

PCL thread lifting is suitable for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to address skin sagging, wrinkles, and facial contouring issues. It works by lifting and tightening the skin, enhancing facial volume, and improving skin texture. Because of its excellent biocompatibility, PCL threads generally have a lower risk of adverse reactions, making it suitable for a wide range of patients.

Overall, PCL thread lifting offers a minimally invasive, effective, and safe alternative to traditional facelift surgery, with a shorter recovery time and long-lasting effects.

Why PCL but not PDO?

PCL thread lifting provides long-lasting results, with the effects typically lasting between 12 to 18 months, depending on individual factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and the area treated. The PCL material is designed to slowly dissolve over time while stimulating collagen production in the skin, which helps maintain the lifting and tightening effects even after the threads are absorbed.

The procedure is known for its stability in providing gradual and natural-looking results. As the PCL threads dissolve, they continue to promote collagen regeneration, which contributes to the skin’s firmness and elasticity. This long-lasting stimulation of collagen ensures that the effects can endure for an extended period compared to other types of threads.

Additionally, PCL is a biocompatible material, which means it is well-tolerated by the body, with a low risk of allergic reactions or skin sensitivity. The material is specifically designed to integrate safely into the skin, and its use in thread lifting has been associated with minimal risk of irritation or rejection. This makes PCL thread lifting a safe and effective option for individuals with sensitive skin or those who are concerned about potential adverse reactions.
