PCL Thread Advantages
Composition
Composition of PCL thread
PCL
• Biodegrdable biocompatible polymer
• 2 years degradation in the body
Neocollagenesis
Strong NeoCollagenesis
PCL(Polycaprolactone)
• PCL individually possess an excellent and proven safety-biocompatibility profile. This is proven through decades of extensive documented evidence from scientific literature and test results. It has been used successfully in numerous CE-marked and FDA-approved commercial bioresorbable medical devices for several decades world-wide.
• After being injected in the body, PCL is encapsulated by collagen presents in the body, escapes from phagocytosis, and then induces neo-collagenesis.
▶ Neocollagenesis of PCL
• PCL thread is encapsulated by collagen presents in the body, escapes from phagocytosis, and then induces neo-collagenesis.
• 10%~30% of volume increase effect can be expected.
▶ Histology after 1 month of PCLVitaminC thread (rat)
- Neocollagenesis observed around the thread
PCL vs PDO thread
PCL VitaminC thread | PDO thread | |
MainComponent | • Polycaprolactone | • Polydioxanone |
Neocollagenesis | • Proven | • Not proved so far clinically |
Efficacy Length | • Long (1~2years) (PCL is used as the main component of a long lasting filler, Ellanse) | • Short (6 months) (PDO is wholely degraded in the body within 6 months) |
Safety | • Perfectly safe (PCL CE marked & FDA approved materials) | • Not proved so far (Repetitive PDO injections for facial use is not clinically proved) |
Dye used in the thread | • None | • D&C Violet 2 (Tattoo effect many occur) |
