BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and biocompatibility of various absorbable threads from Hans BioMed for facial lifting in a Sprague Dawley rat model, focusing on collagen production, inflammatory responses, and overall skin remodeling.
METHODS: Six types of absorbable threads, PCL, PDO, PDLLA, PLCL, and two P4HB variants (55 and 90% elongation) from Hans BioMed, were analyzed using histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular methods for observation, including 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-thread insertion. Total 140 rats were used with 20 rats for each thread group, in which five rats for each time point.
RESULTS: Firstly, inflammatory markers, including TNF-α and IL-6, peaked at 1 week and subsided significantly by 8 weeks, confirming the safety profile of all threads. The overall results demonstrated that all threads induced collagen formation and reduced inflammation over time. Notably, collagen 1 levels in all testing groups steadily increased from 2 to 8 weeks, complemented by reduced metalloproteinase expression, indicating preserved collagen stability, observed in Western Blotting. Additionally, RT-PCR highlighted increased expression of collagen-related genes and elevated TGF-β and α-SMA levels, suggesting enhanced skin remodeling capabilities.
CONCLUSION: All tested absorbable threads promoted collagen formation and showed minimal response to inflammation over time. The findings provide a foundation for developing advanced thread-lifting products, offering improved skin elasticity, firmness, and collagen synthesis outcomes.
