Dermosustentación threads are biocompatible filaments (they don’t generate rejection) that are introduced into the dermis of the face through a very fine cannula, it is a non-surgical procedure.
They are toothed or spiculated threads preloaded in very thin needles, made of a material called polydioxanone (PDO), which is reabsorbed by the body in a variable time (12 months approx.), Without causing allergies or any sequelae or trace of its passage, in such a way that if in the future we wish to perform a facelift surgery there is no problem.
