Long-lasting lifting effect with non-absorbable thread!

Elasticum, which possesses strength similar to human ligaments, can improve facial wrinkles and skin elasticity.

Prologue

Elasticum is a thread wrapped in silicone with a polyester mesh, offering high elasticity that allows for natural lifting in harmony with muscle movements. Because it is similar to human tissue and integrates stably with it, there is minimal foreign body sensation; it mimics real ligaments in terms of muscle movement and elasticity, ensuring natural facial movements and expressions after the procedure. Over time, autologous tissue fills the polyester surrounding the elastomer, yielding more stable results. As a non-absorbable elastic thread, its effects last for over five years, and it has the advantage of being easily removed if inflammation or side effects occur.

Elasticume

Structure and Characteristics of Elasticum

With a special structure in which polyester surrounds a silicone core, it overcomes the limitation of existing threads—'elasticity'.
Compared to conventional threads that cannot withstand pulling forces and break or have minimal effects, it boasts high tensile strength,
creating a natural shape even when sitting on the floor or bending the knees.

Silicone

  • Strong elasticity
  • Applicable to various cases
  • Barely interferes with skin movement

Comfortable

  • Minimized palpability
  • Quick return to daily life
  • Natural recovery

Tissue adhesion

  • Stable tissue fixation
  • Minimized foreign body reaction

Polyester

  • High tensile strength
  • Tension distribution
  • Resilience control
  • Minimized tissue damage
  • Smooth surface

Perfect handling

  • Anti-slip
  • Secure knotting
  • Prevention of tissue cutting by the thread

Use of face and neck-specific Elasticum + dedicated needle

At TANG:GLE Plastic Surgery, better results can be expected because Elasticum and dedicated needles specifically designed for face and neck lifting are used.

Strong elasticity of Elasticum

Elasticum has high elasticity that other threads do not have.

Elasticum (Elastic thread)

Due to its elasticity, the thread can extend up to twice its length.

All threads except Elasticum

Have no elasticity.

Face Lifting

FACE LIFTING

TANG:GLE's face lifting uses two methods: incisional and non-incisional.

Incision-type face lifting diagram — The label "Incision Site" and a leader line are indicated on the scalp hairline of a woman's profile, with dotted traction lines drawn from the cheek toward the temple

Incisional Face Lifting

A method where excess skin is also removed through an incision in the scalp
when there is excess skin

Non-incision face lifting diagram — The label "Small Incision Window" and a leader line are indicated on the sideburn hairline of a woman's profile, with dotted traction lines drawn from the cheek toward the front of the ear

Non-incisional Face Lifting

A method where threads are inserted and fixed after making two small incisions
along the sideburn hairline when there is little excess skin

An incision of about 3–4 cm is made
in the scalp area above the ear.

01

Two small incisions of about 5 mm
are made along the sideburn hairline.

Elasticum threads are inserted to pull the SMAS layer in 2 to 4 locations,
and the threads are anchored to the temporal fascia.

02

Elasticum threads are inserted to pull the SMAS layer in 2 to 4 locations,
and the threads are anchored to the temporal fascia.

The skin is pulled from the scalp incision site,
excess skin is removed, and the procedure is finished with sutures.

03

The incisions in the sideburn area
are finished with subcutaneous sutures.

Who needs it?

Learn about the indications for neck lifting at TANG:GLE Plastic Surgery.

  1. 01When the skin on the neck is sagging
  2. 02When there is excess double chin fat along with a loss of elasticity
  3. 03When skin sagging occurs after contouring surgery In this case, neck lifting is required because liposuction alone will not tighten the skin
  4. 04When skin sags after liposuction

Neck Lifting Design

TANG:GLE Neck Lifting

Detailed Design by Symptom

TANG:GLE Plastic Surgery’s neck lifting provides a customized design tailored to the patient’s symptoms.

  • 1-Loop neck lifting design — Diagram of two dotted lines running down along the jawline from an anchor below the ear on a woman's profile
    1 Loop Design
    • It is used when the degree of sagging is mild and the area is not extensive;
    • Threads are inserted through small incisions below both ears
    • to pull the skin, including the dermal layer.
  • 2-Loop neck lifting design — Diagram of four dotted lines spreading out in a fan shape from an anchor below the ear on the same profile
    2 Loop Design
    • When sagging is moderate or higher and covers an extensive area,
    • a single loop alone is insufficient, so one additional loop
    • can be inserted to closely lift a broad area.
  • Cross-method neck lifting design — Diagram of dotted lines starting from below both ears and crossing in the center on the front of the neck viewed from below the chin
    Cross Method Design
    • When overall skin elasticity is good, but the line connecting
    • the chin tip to the neck appears dull and looks like a receding chin, threads come down from below both ears,
    • cross each other at the center point, loop back,
    • and are pulled tight. This helps create a neck line that is
    • sharply defined and deep.
