Contour Threads
The Clear Choice in Barbed Sutures

Introducing a new era in minimally invasive rejuvenation techniques – Contour Threads™ . Contour Threads are the only non-absorbable barbed suture product cleared by the FDA for the elevation and fixation of midface, brow and neck areas. These specifically designed sutures are fashioned from clear polypropylene, a material that has been safely used in the body for many years in other medical products.

As the aging process begins, the skins connective tissue thins and collagen and elastic fibers begin to break down.
As a result, these changes in underlying support structures appear as sagging, deep creases, folds and wrinkles in the skin as early as your thirties. Now there is a simple new technique that makes it possible to rejuvenate and beautify your appearance.

A lift procedure performed with Contour Threads is a safe, conservative and effective one that offers subtle, natural looking results. By gently, shifting sagging tissues in an upward direction, this technique allows the surgeon to produce a relaxed, fresh appearance while preserving and enhancing the natural contours of your face. This procedure does not replace a conventional face-lift; rather it offers patients an innovative, minimally invasive approach with immediate results.

 What are Contour Threads™

Contour Threads™ are a patented self anchoring thread technology that permits a minimally invasive surgical approach for elevation and fixation of skin. Contour Threads™ are the only FDA product cleared for market with current indications for elevation and fixation of midface, brow and neck.

Contour Threads™ are made from polypropylene, a material that has been used inside the human body as a suture material for decades. Contour Threads™ are designed with patented dimensional barbs that attach to the subdermal tissue, lifting, suspending and fixating contour of the brow, midface and neck areas.
