Revitalization or lifting treatment with notched tensor threads
This non-surgical technique for rejuvenating the face and neck is performed at Dr. Devoir's medical office under local anesthesia and in strict aseptic conditions. The material used consists of notched polylactic acid and caprolactone sutures, biocompatible with the human body, which are completely resorbed in about 24 months.
The tensor threads are inserted under the skin and cling to the tissues to create support in sagging areas (cheeks, lower cheeks and neck). They limit skin sagging, reposition volumes, delay wrinkles and improve the skin's structure through the Biostimulation effect.
Visible results in 1 session
The tensor sutures are introduced by micro-cannulas or needles through a hole of 2 to 3 millimeters in diameter.
The effect of notched tensor threads can be optimized and completed by combining this treatment with other aesthetic medicine techniques such as botulinum toxin and/or hyaluronic acid injections.
The result is immediately visible. An optimal result is visible after two months.
A new placement of notched tensor threads can be performed one year later to optimize the treatment.
