Contour Threads: A Tool for Creating a Firm Contour

In the field of modern medical beauty, more and more people are no longer blindly pursuing drastic changes brought about by procedure, but tend to choose more gentle and natural treatments.

Under this trend, Contour Threads, as a minimally invasive treatment that can lift the skin, achieve shaping and collagen regeneration effects, has quickly become popular in the market and become an important project for major medical beauty institutions.

Contour Threads can not only improve sagging and blurred jaw lines, but also reshape the youthful contours of the face, helping people who seek beauty to rejuvenate without procedure.

So, what exactly are Contour Threads? Why is it so popular?

What is Contour Threads

Contour Threads is a thread required for a minimally invasive treatment. This minimally invasive treatment implants special absorbable threads into the subcutaneous tissue to lift sagging parts of the face and tighten the skin.

These threads are usually made of biodegradable materials, such as PDO (polydioxanone), PLLA (poly-lactic acid) or PCL (polycaprolactone), and are widely used in medical fields such as human tissue repair and surgical suture.

Contour Threads originally originated from minimally invasive lifting technology in South Korea and European and American countries. After years of clinical verification and technical optimization, it has now been widely used in multiple directions such as lifting the middle and lower parts of the face, shaping contour lines, and local anti-aging.

The Core Principle of Contour Threads

The working mechanism of the contour thread can be divided into two stages:

One is instant physical lifting;

In the first stage, the thread body firmly grasps the loose subcutaneous tissue through the design structure with barbs, serrations, anchor hooks, etc., and pulls upward according to the pre-set direction of the doctor, quickly improving the aging performance such as sagging skin and blurred contours.

In this process, the serrated thread can see obvious changes on the spot after procedure, and is often used to lift apple muscles, improve nasolabial folds, and tighten the jawline.

The second is the long-term production of collagen;

The second stage is more critical: as the thread is gradually absorbed and degraded in the skin, it prompts fibroblasts to secrete a large amount of collagen and elastin, thereby achieving natural repair and reconstruction of tissues.

This process usually begins to appear 24 weeks after procedure, and eventually forms a tighter and fuller skin state. Therefore,

Contour Threads not only has an immediate "puppet" effect, but also has long-term anti-aging repair potential.

Ideal Candidates for Contour Thread Lifting

Not all beauty seekers are suitable for contour lifting. Doctors usually evaluate according to personal circumstances.

· Aged between 30 and 55, with mild to moderate skin sagging problems;

· Hope to improve nasolabial folds, marionette lines, blurred jaw lines, etc.;

· Those who are unwilling to undergo traditional surgical facelifts;

· Want to recover quickly and maintain a natural appearance;

· Those with reduced facial contours and hope to reshape the lines.

In addition, for those who are unwilling to undergo traditional facelift procedure and want a short recovery period and natural results, contouring is an ideal choice.

Some young people also use it as a facial fine-tuning tool to create a tighter "V-shaped face", improve the facial proportions, and enhance the overall three-dimensional sense of facial features. It should be noted that for those with severe skin laxity or thick subcutaneous fat, thread carving alone may not achieve the ideal effect.

Unique advantages of Contour Threads

1. Non-surgical and less traumatic

The thread is introduced into the subcutaneous tissue through microneedles or blunt needles to avoid large-scale peeling and incision. No suture is required after procedure, and recovery is fast.

2. Quick effect and long duration

Most patients can see the lifting effect immediately after procedure, and collagen regeneration can last for 6 to 18 months. The duration depends on the type of thread and individual differences.

The lifting effect of Contour Threads is quickly apparent, and patients can see the changes in facial lines being lifted on the day of procedure. It is especially suitable for occasions that require a short-term improvement in appearance, such as weddings, parties, photo shoots, etc.

3. High safety

Modern Contour Threads mostly use absorbable materials, which will not leave foreign matter after metabolism, reducing the risk of long-term complications.

4. Personalized design

According to the face shape, degree of aging, and expected goals, doctors can design different threading methods, such as "V-shaped lifting method" and "three-point positioning lifting method". According to the needs and budget of the beauty seekers, doctors can flexibly choose materials and technical routes to achieve highly personalized design.

Key Points of Postoperative Care

Although contour thread procedure is less traumatic, postoperative care should not be ignored, which is directly related to whether the lifting effect is lasting and whether side effects occur.

• On the day of procedure, frequent talking, laughing, chewing and other actions should be avoided to prevent the thread from shifting or loosening.
• Apply cold compresses to the face within 48 hours after procedure to relieve swelling, and avoid hot compresses, massage or rubbing.
• Avoid spicy and irritating foods within 1 week, quit smoking and drinking to reduce the risk of local inflammation.
• Try to lie on your back when sleeping, and avoid lying on your side to compress the surgical area.
• In addition, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs should be used as prescribed by the doctor to prevent infection.

If bruising, mild pain, abnormal touch or mild asymmetry occurs after procedure, it is generally a normal reaction and will gradually subside within 1 to 2 weeks.

If abnormalities such as persistent redness, swelling, exudation, exposed thread ends or severe pain occur, follow-up treatment should be carried out in time.

The thread design is advanced, the shape of the barbs is more solid, the grip is stronger, and it can hook the subcutaneous tissue more firmly, which can create a V-shaped face and improve annoying facial contours such as sagging skin.

Sterile storage, safer operation

Each thread is independently packaged in a sterile environment and sterilized with ethylene oxide or gamma rays to reduce the risk of infection from the product to the operation.

2. Material classification of Diaminy Contour Threads

PDO (Polydioxanone) has an absorption period of 6-8 months and is widely used in the initial thread sculpture treatment for natural lifting.

PCL (Polycaprolactone) has a longer absorption period (about 18-24 months), and the collagen stimulation effect is more lasting, which is suitable for high-end users with anti-aging needs.

3. Types of threads classified by shape

Cog Threads

The surface is distributed with unidirectional or bidirectional barbs, which can hook the subcutaneous tissue and pull it upward. It is often used in the nasolabial folds and jawline.

Fish Bone Threads

The barbs are in the shape of fish bones, with more uniform grip, suitable for symmetrical lifting of the middle part of the face.

Mesh Cog Threads

It can be used not only for lifting but also for filling the sunken parts of the face.

Lasting Time of Contour Threads

The effects of common contour threads on the market vary slightly depending on the material:

Although Contour Line Lifting is not effective, it is not easy to be cured. Threads are relatively safe, but the following risks may still occur:

• Local bruises and edema;
• Infection or thread rejection (very rare);
• Asymmetric lifting;
• Thread breakage or exposure;
• Face foreign body sensation or abnormal touch.
• Choosing a regular medical institution and an experienced doctor is the key to avoiding these problems.
