The Countourel® Ultra + 18G L / 100mm tension threads from Croma Pharma are medical devices designed for non-surgical lifting, allowing for the correction of facial and body contours. Made of Polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible and absorbable material, these threads are equipped with bidirectional barbs that latch onto subcutaneous tissues to provide an immediate tightening effect. These threads are particularly effective for treating areas of the face (such as the middle and lower third) and the body that show skin sagging.

Technical characteristics:

• Main material: Polydioxanone (PDO), absorbable by hydrolysis
• Type of thread: Barbed (with bidirectional barbs), for better grip on tissues
• Thread size: 18G / 100 mm
• Format: Box of 16 threads
• Indication: Lifting and correction of skin sagging of the face and body
• Usage: Reserved for health professionals (aesthetic doctors, dermatologists)

Benefits and Advantages:

• Immediate and natural lifting effect: The bidirectional barbs offer better traction of the skin tissues, producing an immediate lift effect without heavy surgical intervention.
• Collagen stimulation: These threads promote collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity in the long term, even after the threads have been absorbed.
• Natural absorption: PDO threads are absorbed by the body in 6 to 8 months, but results remain visible for up to 12 to 18 months due to collagen stimulation.
• Multi-zone application: These threads are suitable for areas needing contour correction such as the middle and lower thirds of the face, double chin, or certain body parts like the neck or arms.
• Non-surgical lifting: This minimally invasive treatment offers immediate results with minimal recovery time, unlike traditional surgical procedures.

Therapeutic indications:

• Correction of contour in the middle and lower thirds of the face: For smoother skin and tightening of the lower face.
• Correction of double chin: Ideal for reducing the appearance of double chin and redefining the jawline.
• Correction of body areas: Suitable for improving skin texture and firming areas such as the neck, arms, or abdomen.
• Brow lifting: Provides a brow lifting effect, opening the gaze and giving a younger appearance.

Usage instructions:

• Patient preparation: Clean and disinfect the area to be treated. Local anesthesia may be applied to ensure patient comfort.
• Inserting the threads: The threads are inserted under the skin using a needle or thin cannula. The bidirectional barbs catch the subcutaneous tissues, providing an immediate tightening effect.
• Visible results: Results are immediately visible after thread insertion, with gradual improvement due to collagen stimulation in the weeks following the procedure.
• Post-treatment: The patient should avoid vigorous massages, sun exposure, and intense physical exercise in the days following the procedure.

Precautions for use:

• Usage reserved for qualified health professionals (aesthetic doctors, dermatologists).
• Tolerance test: It is recommended to check the patient's tolerance to PDO threads before proceeding with insertion.
• Post-treatment care: The patient should follow their doctor's recommendations to avoid complications and ensure the best possible results.

Contraindications:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Use not recommended without medical advice.
• Active skin infections or inflammations in the treatment area.
