Today there is an innovative face correction method using Cog mesothreads. The thread lifting method was developed in Korea. This is an alternative and popular method that allows you to restore clear contours with minimal surgical intervention. The recovery process is quite fast and the risks of complications are minimal.
What are kogi threads?
Cog mesothreads are notched implantable threads in the dermis. Such threads are set using small punctures with a needle and holding them under the skin. They are not perceived by the body as a foreign body and are not rejected, but are fully compatible. Such mesothreads dissolve in 1-1.5 months.
After complete resorption, the Cog strands leave a dense, natural skeleton that continues to maintain a fixed face or body shape over time. The final decay products of mesothreads are water and carbon dioxide, which are completely eliminated from the body. At the end of the effect - the procedure can be repeated.
Cog threads are designed to restore the contour of the face and eliminate various age-related skin changes. The lifting effect that they have is manifested due to the formation of the fibrous skeleton. The procedure gives a visually noticeable result:
- The chin is tightened and the contour of the face is contoured;
- Small facial wrinkles, including nasolabial and mesh, are eliminated.
- Shallow wrinkles on the forehead are smoothed out.
- Eyelids and eyebrows are lifted.
In addition to lifting, threads help restore normal metabolism at the cellular level. As a result, the synthesis of type 1 collagen begins. This happens when the material is completely dissolved and releases water and carbon dioxide. Around the injection site there are collagen “belts” that hold the tissue in position.
How is the procedure going?
- For 2 weeks to undergo examination by a therapist, take a general blood and urine test, make an electrocardiogram. Based on the results, an additional examination may be prescribed;
- 2 weeks before the procedure, you must stop taking any medications;
- A week before the procedure, give up alcohol, tobacco, coffee, black tea, energy drinks;
- A week before the introduction of mesothreads, do not carry out any hardware procedures, peels, injection anti-aging procedures, etc .;
- 3 days before the procedure, avoid sports and other physical activity.
The introduction of mesothreads implies a violation of the integrity of the skin, therefore, it should be carried out by a trained cosmetologist or surgeon.Accordingly, it is necessary to check the qualifications of the doctor or cosmetologist and permission to carry out such manipulations. It is also recommended that you verify the certification of the materials used.
Stages of the introduction of Kogi mesothreads:
- The skin is cleaned of dust and sebum with the help of professional cosmetics;
- Disinfected with an antiseptic solution;
- An anesthetic in the form of a cream is applied. Sometimes it is not enough, so taking an analgesic before the procedure is not forbidden. Also, the doctor may use an injection of pain medication;
- Apply a markup scheme to limit the corrected areas;
- All materials are printed with the patient;
- The insertion point of the cannula is determined and a puncture or incision is made for its introduction with a depth of 3-5 mm;
- Next, mesothreads are introduced. The material is introduced using a special low-traumatic needle made of medical steel with laser sharpening.
- Before entering the needle, the surgeon pulls the skin with your hand to the desired position for fixation;
- The needle is inserted parallel to the surface of the skin. With the help of nodules and notches, the threads bind together, forming a frame. The doctor pulls the threads up, while the notches cling to the muscles from the inside and pull them up. This is a painful process. In places where tissue is collected, dimples form, which eventually dissolve;
- By fixing the edge of the thread, the doctor presses on the skin and the mezzonite is separated from the needle. Then the needle is removed;
- For one procedure do not install more than 12-15 threads, since complications are possible. The procedure takes from half an hour to an hour, depending on the number of inserted threads;
- Places of introduction of threads are sealed with a plaster or stitches are applied to the incisions and an elastic bandage. It must be worn for about 5-7 days.
After the manipulations, the doctor talks about what can not be done after this procedure and how to care in order to recover faster and enhance the effect. Special control of the doctor is not required, so after 30-40 minutes the patient can go home.
With severe sagging skin, the method of introducing mesothreads will not help. Only plastic surgery will cope with such a defect.
Recovery after lifting
After the procedure for the introduction of kogi mesothreads, a recovery period will be required, since the procedure involves the presence of subcutaneous microtraumas. Edema, bruising, bruising, and hollows may occur in places of tissue tightening. Pain is inevitable. The more threads, the longer the rehabilitation period. It is also important to consider at what depth they were installed, the patient's anatomical features and age. Recovery can take from a week to two months.
Possible negative consequences
After the procedure for the introduction of kogi filaments, side effects may occur. They can be local and short-term, which will pass on their own within a few days or weeks.
Side effects include:
- Pain;
- Swelling;
- Seals at the injection site;
- Bruises and bruises;
- Redness and inflammation;
- Unnatural skin color in places of suspenders;
- Subcutaneous folds and bumps;
- Asymmetry, troughs and collections.
To more serious and delayed side effects include:
- Internal inflammation of tissues;
- Neuropathy;
- The appearance of scars;
- Thread breakage;
- Teething skin;
- Migration of material to the surface of the skin;
- Translucency of the introduced threads;
- Non-absorbable clear bumps.
In case of serious and persistent violations it is necessary to consult a specialist. In severe cases, mesothreads are subject to removal and the subsequent course of antibiotics and antibacterial drugs.
