INFORMATION
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L is a specialized polydioxanone (PDO) thread designed for facial lifting and rejuvenation. It utilizes an advanced design of 360-degree helical barbs that anchor into the tissue, providing long-lasting lifting effects. The product is known for its strong tensile strength, biocompatibility, and the ability to stimulate collagen production, making it ideal for patients seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L Indications
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L is specifically designed for:
- Facial Lifting: The thread is ideal for lifting sagging facial tissues, particularly in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Wrinkle Reduction: It helps reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
- Skin Rejuvenation: The threads stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin texture, elasticity, and firmness.
This product is suitable for patients looking for a non-invasive, non-surgical facelift with minimal downtime.
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L Dosage and Administration
Each thread is 21G in diameter and 90 mm in length, making it appropriate for larger areas requiring significant lift and support. The PDO threads are inserted into the dermis or subcutaneous layer, using either a cannula or needle technique, depending on the practitioner’s preference.
- Thread Size: 21G thickness and 90 mm length.
- Needle Type: The product can be used with both blunt cannulas or sharp needles for safe and effective insertion.
- Placement: The threads are typically inserted into the deep dermis to achieve the lifting and anchoring effect.
- Duration: The threads naturally dissolve over time, with effects lasting for 12 to 24 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism and lifestyle factors.
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L Side Effects and Precautions
As with any PDO thread treatment, patients may experience mild and temporary side effects following the procedure. These side effects usually resolve within a few days to a week.
- Common Side Effects:
- Swelling and redness at the injection site.
- Bruising in the treated area.
- Mild discomfort or tenderness along the insertion lines.
- Rare but Serious Side Effects:
- Infection at the insertion site.
- Asymmetry if the threads are not placed symmetrically.
- Thread extrusion, although rare, can occur if the threads are placed too superficially.
Patients should avoid strenuous physical activity, sun exposure, and excessive facial movements for the first 48 hours following the procedure.
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L Mechanism of Action
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L threads work by physically lifting the sagging tissues while also stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This leads to increased collagen production, which enhances skin elasticity and firmness over time.
- 360° Helical Barbs: The thread’s unique 360-degree barbs provide multidirectional support to the surrounding tissue, ensuring a secure and long-lasting lift.
- Collagen Stimulation: The threads trigger the body’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin in the treated areas.
- Biodegradation: The PDO threads dissolve naturally over 6 to 12 months, leaving behind a scaffold of newly formed collagen that continues to support the skin for up to 24 months.
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L Clinical Studies and Real-World Outcomes
Clinical trials and real-world results have demonstrated the effectiveness of RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L in providing significant facial lifting and skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
- Lifting Effects: Patients experience immediate lifting effects, particularly in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Longevity: The lifting and volumizing effects last for up to 24 months, making it a long-lasting solution for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
- Patient Satisfaction: Over 90% of patients report high satisfaction rates due to the natural-looking results and minimal recovery time.
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L Active Ingredients
The primary ingredient in RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L is Polydioxanone (PDO), a biodegradable polymer commonly used in medical sutures. PDO is well-known for its biocompatibility, meaning it does not trigger an immune response or cause irritation. Additionally, the product is completely absorbed by the body over time, leaving behind no residual materials.
- PDO (Polydioxanone): This synthetic polymer has been used in suture threads for decades due to its ability to safely dissolve in the body.
- 360-Degree Barbs: The barbs are distributed around the entire circumference of the thread, ensuring secure anchoring in the tissue for multidirectional lifting.
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L Drug Interactions
There are no known significant drug interactions with RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L. However, patients should inform their healthcare provider of any medications they are taking, particularly anticoagulants or blood thinners, as these may increase the risk of bruising or bleeding at the insertion site.
- Anticoagulants and Blood Thinners: Patients taking medications such as warfarin or aspirin may need to stop usage a few days prior to treatment to minimize bleeding risks.
RAINBOW® 3D COG 21G90-L Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, patients should follow specific guidelines to optimize results and minimize the risk of complications:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Direct sun exposure should be avoided for at least two weeks to prevent skin irritation.
- Refrain from Physical Activity: Strenuous physical activities, including heavy lifting and exercise, should be avoided for 48 hours post-procedure.
- Gentle Skin Care: Patients should cleanse their face gently and avoid applying makeup for the first 24 hours.
Patients should also monitor the treated area for any signs of infection.
