A new treatment for wrinkles

J Conley, R W Selfe

    Transactions. Section on Otolaryngology. American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology
    |July 1, 1976

    Summary

    A novel threading technique uses absorbable sutures for wrinkle augmentation and atrophic area treatment. This minimally invasive approach offers subtle results and can be repeated, with potential for nonabsorbable materials in future developments.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Cosmetic Surgery
    • Medical Aesthetics

    Background:

    • Wrinkle treatment remains a significant focus in aesthetic medicine.
    • Existing methods for wrinkle correction have varying degrees of invasiveness and efficacy.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are sought after for patient appeal and reduced recovery time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new technique for wrinkle treatment using absorbable threads.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of this threading method.
    • To explore potential future advancements in thread-based aesthetic procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A technique involving threading absorbable sutures (4-0 and 2-0 clear Vicryl) beneath wrinkles for augmentation.
    • Application of a "basket weaving" technique in atrophic areas.
    • Utilization of up to 40 feet of thread material per session.

    Main Results:

    • The threading technique demonstrated minimal complications.
    • The aesthetic results achieved were subtle.
    • The procedure was found to be repeatable.

    Conclusions:

    • The described threading technique offers a viable option for subtle wrinkle correction and volume restoration.
    • Further development with nonabsorbable materials like Prolene or Nurolon may enhance long-term outcomes.
    • This approach represents a promising concept in minimally invasive aesthetic treatments.
