Our product, the Youngs Lift, was recently featured in an investigation published on Pubmed, a repository comprising over 36 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. The study, titled "Investigation on the Cutaneous Change Induced by Face-Lifting Monodirectional Barbed Polydioxanone Thread," sheds light on the histologic and molecular changes induced by absorbable, barbed face-lifting thread in an animal model.
The research, conducted on guinea pigs, aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of monofilament, monodirectionally barbed polydioxanone thread on cutaneous tissues. Results showed that the implanted thread stimulated the formation of a fibrous capsule around it, with the strongest tissue reactions observed at the one-month mark post-implantation. However, these reactions gradually decreased over time. Notably, molecular analysis revealed a significant increase in Type 1 collagen and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) levels throughout the seven-month study period, indicating strong anchorage of the thread to skin tissue and supporting its long-term durability.
These findings hold promising implications for the clinical application of barbed thread in face-lifting procedures, suggesting potential beneficial effects for rejuvenation. By contributing to the body of knowledge on the efficacy and safety of innovative thread lift techniques, our product continues to demonstrate its commitment to advancing patient care and aesthetic outcomes in the field of plastic surgery.
