Cytolife liquid threads with zinc – facial rejuvenation procedure

About the drug liquid biothreads

Liquid threads from the company Cytolife, also known as Bodyfiller (liquid mesothreads, liquid biothreads), are a combination of balanced, highly concentrated hyaluronan and zinc chloride in a certain concentration.

Unlike standard mesothreads (Threadlifting), liquid mesothreads Cytolife (Cytolife) consist of an aqueous solution of highly purified hyaluronic acid with a molecular weight of 1.8 million Daltons and a phosphate buffer to pH 7.2 and zinc chloride with a molecular weight distribution of Mw/ Mn equal to 1.389

Informative"

Zinc is an essential trace element, necessary for the normal functioning of any cell, is a cofactor for more than 300 different proteins, and 20% of its total volume is concentrated in the skin to protect it from free radical damage.

Liquid threads in appearance are a water-containing, sterile, transparent, pyrogen-free, colorless gel for medical use based on unmodified hyaluronic acid.

Cytolife liquid threads are produced in glass bottles with a capacity of 10 ml. The main effect of the drug is aimed at forming a subcutaneous framework for the correction of problem areas.

Precautionary measures

Any injection rejuvenation may lead to unexpected results.

It is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations of the cosmetologist and follow all recommendations during the healing period.

Side effects

Slight redness and swelling are a normal reaction. All side effects disappear within five days.

Sometimes complications arise

• formation of hematomas, bruises and swelling;
• itching and burning at puncture sites;
• allergic reaction;
• severe pain when pressed.

If any of the above phenomena occur, you should immediately seek help from a specialist.

How is the liquid mesothread procedure performed?

We begin the procedure for rejuvenation and face lifting with Cytolife liquid threads with a thorough make-up removal and cleansing of the patient’s facial skin. After the cleansing stage, we carry out all-season, superficial chemical peeling based on lactic and mandelic acids. Peeling volume 1 ml. on the face and neck area. Peeling performed as part of a facial skin rejuvenation procedure using Cytolife liquid threads has a good effect on complexion and cleanses the skin from the effects of free radicals.

The next step is to apply the anesthetic over the film - topical anesthesia for a comfortable injection procedure. Next, we proceed to the introduction of biorevitalizants of various concentrations of the Cytolife brand (Laboratory Cytolife) to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid.

On a note:

Preparing facial skin with the help of biorevitalizants and Cytolife remodulators promotes the prolonged action of liquid mesothreads with zinc.

The fourth step is the introduction of the Cytolife remodulator containing hyaluronic acid and zinc to tighten the skin, increase its tone, and have a longer lasting effect.

Next, Cytolife liquid threads are injected intradermally into the middle and lower third of the face, as well as the chin area, which will allow us to tighten the skin well and obtain a pronounced lifting effect. We complete the procedure for introducing liquid mesothreads by applying the Q5 vitamin, decongestant and soothing mask.

Healing period

During the recovery period, you should try to touch your face as little as possible. It is recommended to reduce physical activity, give up alcohol and smoking, and not eat fatty, salty and smoked foods.

It is prohibited to visit the sauna, swimming pool, solarium. You should also not use decorative cosmetics or sleep on a high pillow.

Care measures:

• carry out daily skin hygiene with products without aggressive components in the composition;
• Treat puncture sites with an antiseptic;
• apply cream with SPF factor.

Technique for introducing liquid mesothreads

Liquid threads are introduced using 22G, 25G, 27G cannulas or 25G-27G needles using a linear-retrograde technique into the deep layers of the dermis in an amount of 0.1-0.2 ml. for one introduction.

Read more about the difference between cannulas and a regular needle in this article. Its use is less traumatic for the skin and blood vessels, which allows the patient to look aesthetically pleasing immediately after injections of liquid threads. Papules at injection sites will spread deep into the skin within 12 hours.

The most appropriate technique for introducing liquid mesothreads is multiple batch parallel injections at a distance of 2-3 mm. from each other in several rows.

On a note:

The distance between the rows should not exceed 0.5-1.0 cm, and liquid threads with a volume of no more than 3.0 ml are introduced. per injected area.

Comparison with other types of mesothreads

First of all, liquid threads differ in their composition. They consist of several active components at once. Thanks to this, the product is incorporated very well and distributed evenly, which enhances the antioxidant effect.

Another difference is the technique of drug administration. Liquid threads are administered by injection - this avoids injury to the subcutaneous layers. The chemical effect helps improve the color and hydration of the face.

The reinforcement procedure is cheaper compared to classic thread lifting. It needs to be carried out in courses. The effect is noticeable after 2 weeks.

The action of solid mesothreads is somewhat different. They create the effect of tissue tension. The drug is also administered subcutaneously, but the hypodermis is injured. The process of fibrosis resorption is accelerated and the result appears earlier.

Synthetic (gold or silicone) threads do not dissolve at all. They are used in the presence of severe aesthetic defects and ptosis. They are not rejected by the body and reliably fix the skin. The procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon. The result lasts up to 6-7 years.

Advantages of contouring with Estefil filler at the Medical Cosmetology Center:

• High qualification
• Extensive experience of doctors

AestheFill®️ certified trainer A.A. Kodyakov works with difficult areas.

1. During the consultation, the doctor examines and evaluates problem areas, determines the indications and the presence of contraindications for use, based on the patient’s well-being

2.Skin cleansing

3. Pain relief - local anesthetic

4.Introduction of the drug at different levels of the dermis: superficially or more deeply. Aesthefill fills skin voids and evenly compensates for missing tissue volume.

5.After the procedure, no special rehabilitation is required. It is enough to follow the simple rules used for rehabilitation after all contouring procedures.

How to administer

The process of introducing hyaluronic threads is divided into several stages.

Preparation

First, the patient must visit a specialist who will conduct an external examination of the skin and collect all the necessary information regarding the life history and the likelihood of allergies.

To make sure there are no contraindications, the doctor gives a referral for a general blood test, determination of markers for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis, and a coagulogram. If necessary, additional diagnostic examination may be prescribed.

7 days before the expected date of rejuvenation, you need to stop smoking and drinking alcohol. It is also prohibited to carry out any cosmetic procedures during which there is a high probability of skin damage.

Facial reinforcement

Facial reinforcement is a cosmetic procedure that is prescribed if the effect after biorevitalization or peeling is no longer satisfactory, and it is too early to undergo surgical plastic surgery.

On the eve of the manipulation, you also need to review your diet. Salty and spicy foods, strong brewed tea and coffee are excluded from the menu.

The ban also includes saunas, steam baths, swimming pools and solariums. During the preparation period, you should not be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time and subject your body to heavy physical stress.

Executing the procedure

The entire process can take from 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the amount of work performed. You can entrust the introduction of liquid threads to either a dermatologist-cosmetologist or a plastic surgeon. The manipulation is performed on an outpatient basis. Since the technique is minimally invasive, it does not require general anesthesia. It will be enough to use a local anesthetic.

First, the surface of the facial skin must be cleaned of remnants of decorative cosmetics, particles of dust, dirt and sebaceous secretions, after which the epidermis must be treated with an antiseptic solution.

Next, a special marking is applied along which the hyaluronic acid gel will be introduced.

After the anesthetic cream takes effect, the cosmetologist performs the procedure itself. Minor punctures are made on the skin using ultra-thin needles, through which the drug penetrates into the dermal layers. To correct one zone, about one milliliter of the drug is required.

Upon completion of all actions, the treated areas are wiped again with an antiseptic solution.

To get a high effect from lifting with liquid threads, it is important to correctly calculate the dosage of zinc salt. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the volume of the area requiring correction, as well as the type and characteristics of the epidermis. Thus, thin and sensitive skin requires a minimum concentration of the active substance. In this case, the needle must be inserted as deep as possible into the layers of the dermis so that there are no visible traces of punctures.

What is a thread lift and its benefits?

Thread lift is a modern way of correcting facial skin using special medical threads.

Cosmetology has been using threads for lifting relatively recently, but this procedure has already established itself as a very effective and long-term alternative to plastic surgery. The main advantage of such a lift is considered to be minimally invasive, i.e. the absence of incisions on the skin, scars and cicatrices. Also, an additional advantage is a short rehabilitation period and a relatively small risk of all kinds of complications.

Composition of filler Estefil

AestheFill®️ filler consists of polylactic acid (a thermoplastic and biodegradable polylactide). Through hydrolysis, polylactide breaks down into glycogen and lactic acid and is excreted from the body naturally, which means there is no danger to the body.

The effective process of tissue renewal, collagen formation and production of hyaluronic acid by mature skin cells is due to the porous structure of the drug: skin cells work both outside and inside Estefil microspheres. This is why the use of AestheFill®️ leads to the restoration of lost volumes and smoothing out even the deepest wrinkles.

The drug does not contain protein components that can lead to allergic reactions. There are also no side effects if the injections were performed by an experienced and qualified certified physician.

First results in 6 months

• In March, we assessed the results.
• All our patients are concerned about the skin on the hands and décolleté, inner thighs and abdomen.

• Repeated procedures are prescribed for patients over 60 years of age in the neck area.
• The results become noticeable only after 2 months!

AestheFill®️ is absolutely safe

Confirmed by histological studies.

The main component of the drug, a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, has been used in the medical industry for many years.

The drug stimulates collagen synthesis and the formation of new dermal tissue.

▪️2 weeks after introduction:

New cells are synthesized on the framework of polylactic acid (PLA) particles, gradually filling the empty space between the spheres.

▪️8 weeks after introduction:

Filling of voids with new tissues and cells, cells penetrate into the porous particles of PLA.

▪️12 weeks after introduction:

Cells actively penetrate and move between porous PLA particles.

AestheFill®️ works only at the injection site and does not migrate between tissues.

Polylactic acid particles introduced into the skin remain in the same layer, without penetrating into other tissues, until absorption (2-4 weeks).

The effectiveness of AestheFill®️ filler

The effectiveness of the drug is primarily due to the innovative structure of the particles: spherical microspheres.

The visible effect increases after the procedure and lasts from 18 months to 2 years.

AestheFill®️ in combination with hardware and all types of invasive techniques: botulinum therapy, threads - gives a synergistic effect.

About the procedure

Estefil is a dry substance found in a bottle. Diluted with water for injection + lidocaine to make the procedure painless

The volume of the injected drug is 20 milliliters (regular hyaluronic acid filler 1 mil)

Injected with a “blunt-nosed” needle, it avoids traumatic tissue cutting, so bruising is rare, and the procedure is comfortable for the patient.

Recommended course

1-3 sessions, the break between them is 4-6 months;

When will the result be visible?

It becomes possible to notice improvements and the effect of the drug after the first procedure. Skin thickening under the influence of Estefil has a cumulative effect. This means that over time, the effect of the drug increases due to the gradual accumulation of collagen and hyaluronic acid.

A week after the injections, a slight loss of volume is possible due to the removal of water used to dissolve the drug. However, this does not in any way affect the quality of the result.

Consequences of thread lifting

The most harmless mistake of a master is the lack of results. However, in some cases, a woman can face much more serious consequences.

Thus, the main side effects of lifting performed using threads are identified:

1. The materials used can show through the skin when you smile or laugh.
2. The thread is pulled so tightly that a persistent feeling of a “noose” remains in the neck area.
3. Infection (occurs in case of insufficient treatment of the problem area with an antiseptic).
4. Violation of facial expressions (occurs when a nerve is compressed by a thread).
5. Dents where the needle was removed.
6. Changing the contour of the face.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of liquid threads is their multicomponent formula, which provides an integrated approach to the rejuvenation process. The method has the effect of mesothreads to create a collagen frame, as well as biorevitalization to moisturize and improve the health of the integument. A universal cosmetic procedure can be part of an anti-aging program.

Advantages:

• painless implementation;
• short recovery period;
• solving a number of aesthetic problems;
• no age restrictions;
• reduced risks of side effects;
• use of biodegradable composition;
• long-term correction effect;
• combined with other lifting and rejuvenation methods.

Flaws:

• high cost of the procedure;
• for a pronounced effect, a course of procedures is required;
• accompanied by damage to the integrity of the skin.
