The golden threads technique in facial rejuvenation is a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin using biocompatible threads, often made from materials like polydioxanone (PDO) or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). These threads are thin and durable, resembling tiny sutures or threads that are inserted into specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks, jawline, or brow, to address sagging or lax skin.
The procedure typically begins with a thorough consultation between the patient and a qualified medical professional, during which the goals, expectations, and suitability of the golden threads technique are discussed. Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed, and local anesthesia may be administered to minimize discomfort.
The threads are then strategically inserted under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once inserted, they act as a supportive framework, gently lifting the skin and underlying tissues to redefine facial contours and improve sagging. Additionally, these threads stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, which further enhances skin elasticity and firmness over time.
The golden threads themselves are absorbable and gradually dissolve within the skin over several months. As they dissolve, they encourage the production of new collagen, leaving behind a framework of renewed support and structure within the treated areas. This process contributes to long-term improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.
The effects of the golden threads procedure are typically subtle and natural-looking, providing gradual improvements in facial rejuvenation without the invasiveness or downtime associated with traditional surgical facelifts. However, individual results can vary based on factors such as skin condition, age, and lifestyle habits.
It’s crucial to undergo this procedure with a skilled and experienced medical professional to ensure safety, proper technique, and desired outcomes. As with any cosmetic procedure, potential risks and side effects, such as bruising, swelling, or infection, should be discussed during the consultation phase. Post-procedure care instructions provided by the practitioner should be followed diligently to optimize results and minimize complications.
