Gold Thread Rejuvenation

History of Gold Thread Implantation

The technique of Gold Thread Implantation into sagging skin was developed in France about 30 years ago by Caux and further improved by Parisot about a decade ago. Many kinds of materials have been utilised for skin support. However, Gold is inert, and considered superior and safer because of its purity, density, colour and malleability.

Dr Caux's technique involved the insertion of 1 or 2 gold threads into the subdermal level of the skin. This was done under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis. Sedation was only required under exceptional circumstances.

Gold Thread Implantation in Singapore

The popularity Gold for Aesthetic treatments is increasing in Singapore. It is a simple procedure with low downtime and has tremendous rejuvenative effects which are long-lasting and cost-effective. The benefits span a reduction in flaccidity (giving a lifting effect), improvement in skin texture and reduction in pigmentary disorders, including melasma.

Gold thread implantation is recommended for the prevention and treatment of involutional changes of the face and neck areas caused by the ageing process. The ideal age group for treatment is 30-50, but those above this age group can benefit too.

Effects of Gold Thread Implantation

The rejuvenating effects of skin reinforcement with gold surgical threads appears to be due to the promotion of local microcirculation, the activation of reparative processes and the stimulation of collagen production.

The first results can be seen in one month and increase over the next two years. The face colour and appearance improves, wrinkles start smoothing, skin pores narrow and the skin becomes more elastic. There is better turgor, texture and skin colour due to an enhancement in blood supply, as well as greater collagen and elastin synthesis. Fine wrinkles disappear and deep wrinkles smooth out.

The effects can last up to ten years, following which the treatment can be repeated.

Areas of Treatment

Face, neck, hand, abdomen, upper arm, décolleté, inner thigh, stretch marks (post-childbirth), and cellulite (thigh & buttocks).
