In the late 1960’s, the FDA issued its medical device approval of the first biodegradable suture. Since then, numerous applications have been made for the biomedical use of synthetic biodegradable polymers such as wound enclosures, body implants, tissue engineering and most recently aesthetic enhancements. The application of these sutures accelerates micro-circulation in the treated areas regenerating collagen supply as well as allowing for non-surgical cosmetic intervention modalities. The use of cosmetic threads allows for similar results as it’s surgical “lift” predecessors becoming known as “thread lifting”. Thread lifting procedures are minimally invasive and offer a wide range of indications allowing medical professionals to obtain many of the aesthetic benefits and results that were once obtained only through surgery.

In 2016, the FDA approved the use of absorbable suture suspension using PDO as an indication in lipolysis, collagen regeneration, neo-vascularization in the subcutaneous dermis.

For many, the ideal image of timeless beauty is embodied in the classic European female form. The artistry of the feminine shape, the curvatures, the angles, and textures, are all synonymous with youthful vibrance. Until now, our ability to replicate nature’s youthful canvas have fallen short as seen in the artificial and unnatural results of other other cosmetic treatment modalities.

Superior aesthetic devices such as Les Encres Cosmetic Threads and the accompanying advanced medical technology are allowing cosmetic professionals to provide their patients with a more natural, youthful looking result than ever before.

Les Encres Cosmetic Thread treatments are a less invasive alternative for rejuvenating the face, neck, and body.  Results are achieved with considerably less downtime as well as decreased risks for complications and adverse reactions.  Patients are able to return to work and their daily activities quicker and without the scarring and trauma associated with previous “lifting” treatments and without many of the risks associated with dermal filler techniques.
