How do P(LA/CL) Thread – 3D Cogs work?
Acting on the deeper layers of the skin, Poly(L-Lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) is a state-of-the-art new thread material that can last more than 2 years. The tissues react to the implantation of the P(LA/CL) threads by stimulating type 1 and type 3 collagen production and by developing a fibrous capsule. Even after full biodegradation into non-toxic ordinary substances over a period of 18-24 months, the fibrous capsule continues to hold soft tissue for 3 to 5 months.
This is because, the chemical bonds and structure in P(LA/CL) threads are stronger and more complex. They consist of L-polylactic acid in combination with Σ-caprolactone. L-polylactic acid promotes the regeneration of skin tissue collagen and has a rejuvenation effect. While Σ-caprolactone, slows down the biodegradation process, increasing the duration of the tightening effect, and serves as a lactic acid delivery system to surrounding tissues.
What can be treated with P(LA/CL) 3D Cog threads?
With a 360° Helical Barbs design, Honey Derma P(LA/CL) 3D Cogs have multidirectional barbs which fix and support the skin tissue in various directions and are excellent for lifting and tightening the skin across several areas of the face and body including:
- ‘Non-surgical’ face lift (cheek, jawline, forehead and neck)
