No need for a scalpel: say bye to wrinkles thanks to skin relaxation with suspension strings.

Today, more and more Spas offer beauty programs that include invasive techniques for rejuvenation and correction face and body imperfections. It's very important that these interventions are “soft”. This means that there is a minor operation and the patient can go back to normal life in the shortest possible time. The most requested treatments are those for rejuvenation and those to rid of cellulite. Soft lining is certainly one of the most interesting innovations of aesthetic medicine of the past few years. While wrinkles aren't as scary as they used to be thanks to fillers such as Botox, progressive skin relaxation is still a hard fight to win. The new weapon is soft lining, which you can resort to after a loss of tone of the skin. There have been great results in remodelling the facial contour, cheeks can be lifted, improving the cheekbone definition, but not only, there can be interventions on the neck, and to even stretch skin between thighs and arms, where past the age of 45 there can be less tone.

This method uses special strings that are inserted under the skin and whose task is to keep the skin lifted in these critical areas. The intervention is done in an operating room with light, local  anaesthesia, lasts roughly half an hour and is about as painful as a filler injection, allowing the patient to go back to normal life almost immediately. The strings are then reabsorbed by into the body thanks to their ialuronic acid composition. Along the strings there are small cones that support tissue while the gradual release of ialuronic acid contributes to a larger production of collagen with a double effect that both remodels and rejuvenates. Improvements are immediately noticeable and stays so for about a year and a half. The procedure is done by creating two small holes in the interested area (one where the string will go into the skin and one where it will come out), after which the doctor puts needle and the string through. Recently suspension strings have also been used for buttock lifting.

It must always be remembered that ageing of the skin is a biological phenomenon which nobody can escape, and is influenced by individual genetic factors, environment factors and lifestyle. A correct diet, a balanced lifestyle, taking care of oneself can have an important preventive action and can prolong well-being. In this sense Spas have an important role not only by putting forth innovative and qualified medicinal treatments, but also by taking care of the body and the personal psychophysical well-being.
