Auro PCL Tornado Thread
Volumizing Mechanism & Structural Design
The PCL Tornado Thread, also referred to as a Screw Thread, consists of single or double PCL monofilaments helically wound around the insertion needle. The coiled configuration creates a spring-like scaffold within the subdermal tissue, providing immediate mechanical volumization of sunken or atrophic areas. The double-helix variant offers enhanced anchoring and a more pronounced volumizing effect compared to the single-coil design, and is commonly indicated for general facial lifting procedures.
Collagen Induction & Longevity
Fabricated from Polycaprolactone (PCL), the thread undergoes slow hydrolytic degradation under physiological conditions, with a complete resorption timeline exceeding 24 months. The extended degradation period allows for sustained mechanical stimulation of surrounding fibroblasts, promoting progressive neo-collagenesis throughout the resorption phase. Collagen remodeling activity has been observed to persist for approximately 12 months following full thread dissolution. PCL demonstrates superior collagen-stimulating potency relative to PDO and PLLA materials. Upon complete resorption, metabolic byproducts are non-toxic and eliminated via normal physiological pathways.
Recommended Treatment Areas
The PCL Tornado Thread is indicated for the following anatomical regions, selected according to gauge and needle length:
- 26G 38mm — Periorbital hollows, glabella, lip border, localized volume deficits, fine surface contouring
- 26G 60mm — Malar/cheek volumization, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, mid-face lifting
- 26G 90mm — Temporal hollowing, jawline definition, full-face lifting vectors, extended subdermal scaffolding
- 27G 38mm — Periorbital hollows, glabella, lip border, localized volume deficits, fine surface contouring
- 27G 50mm — Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, localized mid-face volumization
- 27G 60mm — Malar/cheek volumization, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, mid-face lifting
- 27G 90mm — Temporal hollowing, jawline definition, full-face lifting vectors, extended subdermal scaffolding
Thread placement should be performed by trained medical professionals in accordance with established thread lift protocols. Insertion depth, vector planning, and thread selection should be adapted to individual patient anatomy and treatment objectives.
