Facial rejuvenation is at the heart of modern aesthetic concerns, and more and more people are looking for effective and non-invasive solutions to regain a youthful and natural appearance. Among these techniques, tensor threads stand out as a popular option to fight against sagging skin. At the Biolaser medical laser aesthetic center, located in Saint-Louis, in the Haut-Rhin, near Mulhouse, Colmar and the Basel border, we offer this revolutionary procedure, suitable for those who want a facelift without surgery.
What are tensor threads?
Tensor threads are absorbable threads inserted under the skin to tighten it and stimulate collagen production. They are designed to improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin, providing an immediate lifting effect and gradual rejuvenation. This technique, known for its natural results, is perfect for people with early signs of sagging skin, such as drooping cheeks, double chin, or marked nasolabial folds.
How is the treatment performed?
At Biolaser, each tensor thread treatment is preceded by an in-depth consultation to assess the patient’s needs. The treatment itself usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. The threads are placed in the targeted areas using microneedles, without the need for incisions, allowing a normal life to be resumed immediately after the procedure.
What are the advantages of tensor threads?
- Immediate and incremental outcomes: You will notice a lifting effect as soon as the treatment is over, with continuous improvement for several months thanks to collagen stimulation.
- Non-invasive treatment: Unlike a surgical facelift, there are no scars or extended recovery period.
- Natural effect: Tensor threads offer a subtle and harmonious rejuvenation, without altering your facial expressions.
- Security: At Biolaser, all our treatments are carried out by specialized and highly qualified doctors, guaranteeing optimal safety.
Who is this treatment for?
Tensor thread treatment is ideal for men and women from the age of 35-40, who want to slow down the effects of aging without resorting to surgery. It is particularly recommended for those looking for targeted solutions for facial areas such as the jawline, cheeks, neck or forehead.
The results and durability of tensor thread treatment
One of the major advantages of tensor threads is their ability to offer a visible lifting effect immediately after the treatment. However, the results continue to improve in the months that follow thanks to the stimulation of natural collagen, giving the skin a firmer and more youthful appearance.
The durability of the results can vary from person to person, but in general, the effect of tensor threads lasts between 12 and 18 months, depending on the patient’s skin type, age, and lifestyle. To prolong the results, maintenance treatments may be recommended, as well as adopting a good skincare routine and a healthy lifestyle.
Contraindications of tensor threads
Although tensor threads are a non-invasive solution for facial rejuvenation, there are some contraindications to consider before undergoing this treatment at the Biolaser Center:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid this type of procedure for precautionary reasons.
- Autoimmune diseases: People with autoimmune diseases such as lupus, scleroderma, or rheumatoid arthritis should avoid this treatment, as it could trigger an inflammatory response.
- Active skin infections: If you have a severe skin infection or acne in the area to be treated, tensor thread treatment will not be recommended until the infection is completely healed.
- Bleeding disorders: Patients with bleeding disorders or taking blood thinners should avoid this treatment, as it can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
- Allergic reactions: If you have a history of allergies to the materials used in absorbable suts, it’s best to talk to your doctor about other options.
Pre- and post-treatment advice
To maximize the results of your tensor thread treatment and ensure a smooth recovery, here are some tips to follow before and after the procedure:
- Before treatment
- Avoid blood-thinning medications: If possible, discontinue aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or herbal supplements like gingko or fish oil a week before treatment to reduce the chances of bleeding and bruising.
- Avoid alcohol: It is advisable not to consume alcohol 24 to 48 hours before the procedure, as this can also increase the risk of bruising
- Hydrate well: Drinking plenty of water before treatment can help improve the quality of your skin and optimize results.
- After the treatment
- Avoid sudden facial movements: In the days following the procedure, it is recommended to limit excessive facial expressions such as laughter or grimaces to allow the threads to stabilize well.
- Sleep on your back: For about a week, sleep on your back to avoid compressing the face and disrupting the placement of the wires.
- Avoid aggressive treatments: For at least two weeks after treatment, avoid facials, vigorous massages, or radiofrequency treatments in the treated area.
- Protect your skin from the sun: Use high sun protection and avoid excessive sun exposure to minimize the chances of hyperpigmentation.
- Follow your doctor’s recommendations: At Biolaser, our doctors will provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions tailored to your skin and specific needs to ensure optimal recovery.
