Gold
reinforcement became more or less widely known several years ago. The procedure
is amazingly efficient and almost painless. Gold or platinum threads are used.
Some experts claim that such threads are responsible for Cleopatra's unfading
youth and beauty. And she was a fatal beauty! Let's see and try to understand
how good «gold reinforcement» can be. The method is based on injection of the
finest gold threads under the skin in wrinkled areas.
Elastin production
declines with the age. Gold threads induce formation of new elastin fibers, and
«turn the time backwards». Gold is a biologically inert material, and,
therefore, it does not cause host reactions. Inside the skin, gold increases
blood flow to adjacent tissues, thus, providing more oxygen and nutrients for
the cells. As a result, according to the doctors, the skin gets considerably
toned, complexion improves, wrinkles get filled up from inside and smoothed
out, sebacious and sweat glands work normally, cuperose (visible capillary
network) dissappears.
Gold
reinforcement is more effective when done at the first signs of aging and
losing of skin elasticity, even if they appear under 25 years of age. When
performed during this period, reinforcement will preserve youth and force cells
to work against the time for decades, experts say. Patients of 40-50 years of
age should not expect significant improvement, unfortunately, it just will not
come out. In these cases it is recommended to combine gold threads with
circular lifting or express-fillamentlifting. What is the difference and what
happens? For this procedure the finest (not thicker than 0.1 mm) threads of
pure gold covered with polyglycolic acid, which dissolves later (in about two
months), are used. A surgeon makes a fine mesh, mechanically preventing the
skin from flabbiness and whipping. This unique construction cannot be felt by
touch or seen. And it is not transparent.
In the
first place, a surgeon makes a chart of interlacing on the skin, properly
prepared for a surgical procedure. Usually it is done in the hospital under the
local anaesthetisia, though sometimes general anaesthesia is given (if there
are certain medical conditions, or a patient insists). Threads are implanted
through the special guidewire, which separates tissues gently at the depth of
3-5 mm, without damaging them. After the procedure is completed, the openings,
through which the threads were implanted, are fixed with bandages.
Reinforcement
procedure can take from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Postoperative course is usually
rather mild, commercials say. Swelling is insignificant, hematomas appear only
on the sensitive skin. Antibiotics are prescribed to prevent infection. It is
recommended to avoid mimic movements in order to prevent uneven formation of
collagen and tips of threads coming out. Right after the threads are implanted,
the body begins producing of collagen and connective tissue as it reacts to
foreign bodies. Local inflammation occurs, locations of threads cicatrize, and
the frame gets additionally strengthened.
Every
commercial says that the first noticeable results appear in a month: wrinkles
disappear and complexion improves. And later, in half a year explicit signs of
rejuvenating appear, even more in the course of two years. Once again
commercials again are leaving the truth behind. People should understand that
miracles do not happen this way. In reality, gold threads are only means of
prevention - they fix the facial tissues in their present state. Neither
lifting nor instant rejuvenations nor other miraculous transformations occur -
gold reinforcement simply commits the age. For this very reason reinforcement
is recommended at the first signs of sagging tissues. And getting through it «easily
and singing» is also very unlikely: according to different sources, bruises
stay from two weeks to a month, poor health - up to three weeks. After gold
threads implantation the skin often becomes uneven. Pretty often red lines,
type of bedsores, are formed on the face, which can be seen in certain facial
expressions. Plastic surgery becomes complicated in the future. Unfortunately,
commercials keep silence about these «little nothings».
