What it involves
Tensor threads are an aesthetic medicine technique that involves placing absorbable threads under the skin to reposition descended tissues and stimulate collagen production. Dr. Clara Navarro uses them to improve firmness in the facial oval, cheeks or neck when sagging begins to show. The aim is to gradually restore support and definition, always respecting your expression and a natural result.
Benefits
- Immediate supportive effect
- Stimulate your collagen
- No surgery
Who is it for?
This technique may be for you if you notice your facial oval or cheeks have lost firmness and are beginning to drop, but the sagging is still mild or moderate. Also if you prefer a non-surgical option that improves skin support gradually and discreetly. In your first consultation, Dr. Clara Navarro assesses your skin and your case to confirm whether tensor threads are the most suitable option for you.
What the session is like
The session begins with an assessment to plan the entry points and the direction of lift. After applying local anaesthetic to the area, the absorbable threads are inserted with a fine needle or cannula and adjusted to reposition the tissues. It is an outpatient procedure that usually takes between thirty and sixty minutes, and in most cases you can return home the same day.
Results and how long they last
You will notice a supportive effect from the very first moment, complemented by a progressive improvement over the following weeks as the threads stimulate your own collagen. The threads are absorbed over time, but the collagen produced helps maintain firmness. How long the result lasts varies with each person and the treated area, although it usually holds for several months; in the consultation we plan the check-ups to follow your progress.
Aftercare
After the session it is normal to feel slight discomfort, swelling or small bruises at the entry points, which settle within a few days. We recommend sleeping on your back, avoiding intense exercise, heat and massaging the area during the first one or two weeks, and not making strong facial expressions at first.
