Cosmetic Threads are surgical sutures inserted under the skin using a small needle. The threads are biodegradable and dissolve over weeks to months. When placed under the skin, threads function in the wound healing. This results in collagen stimulation, stem cell proliferation, and increased blood vessel formation. Threading these sutures under the skin also allows us to use the exposed end to pull the loose skin taut.

A cosmetic thread procedure can be used to smooth the skin, improve pores, help acne scars, pull loose skin taut, increase skin glow, and improve hair loss. They can be safely used in all skin types and in multiple body areas restoring the smooth, youthful appearance to the scalp, face, neck, decollete (chest canvas), breasts, legs, buttocks, upper arm and midsection.

Les Encres Threads are PDO, PLLA, or PCL sutures that are resorbed in the body’s tissue in 6 months, with immediate results that can last up to 2-4 years

During the procedure, the skin in numbed then a small thread, with microscopic barbs along the surface, is inserted into the mid to superficial dermis of the skin, where the barbs attach to the tissue and suspend or elevate the skin where the thread is placed.

In general, the downtime is 24-36 hours. There can be continued intermittent pain and mild swelling for up to 2 weeks

The threads last approximately 12-24months depending on the material used. At that time, they will need to be inserted again in order to maintain the result
