Valencia threads (PDO, PLLA, PCL)
PDO
Over the years, PDO (polydioxanone) has been used in a wide range of medical fields, from orthopedics and pediatric surgery to maxillofacial surgery. Nowadays, it is successfully used in cosmetology for face rejuvenation, skin lifting and tightening.
PDO is a biodegradable synthetic polymer that the threads are made of, and this material gets more popular due to its safety. The procedure of insertion is quite simple, the results are stable, side effects are minor and complication rate is very low.
PDO biodegradation occurs through a process of hydrolysis over a time period from 6 to 9 months, while the duration of the aesthetic results continues for up to 12 months.
PLLA
Poly-L-Lactic acid has been used as tissue regeneration material for more than 30 years, as well as surgical suture material. It was approved by the FDA in 2009 as an injectable rejuvenating treatment for the face. PLLA polymer is extracted from Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) which is known for its absorbability and biodegrability,
Nowadays PLLA threads have become more and more popular due to long-term collagen formation, and practitioners can use them for restoring tissue volume and rejuvenating the skin of the face.
PLLA biodegradation occurs through the process of hydrolysis in the period from 6 to 9 months, while the aesthetic duration of the results lasts from 12 to 18 months.
PCL
Originally an FDA approved surgical suture material, PCL (Polycaprolactone) is widely used in mesothreads production worldwide. This material stimulates the collagen formation of the types 1 and 3, and the mesothreads made from PCL are able to correct signs of facial ageing, such as volume loss and facial oval weakness, providing an immediate long lasting natural effect.
PCL biodegradation occurs during hydrolysis during the period of time from 6 to 9 months, while aesthetic duration of the results remain from 18 to 24 months. PCL mesothreads are softer than PDO and PLLA, and last longer than any other thread.

Valencia Threads (Cog, Press Cog, Molding Cog, Double)
Velancia Cog are high-quality lifting threads with notches which have an innovative way of lifting and tightening the skin on the face and body. The procedure is painless and effective. The principle is that an invisible skeleton is created in the skin, which provides excellent lifting, while not limiting facial expression.
Velancia Press Cog threads are innovative mesothreads for lifting and tightening the skin, made with absorbable, biocompatible materials: PDO, PCL, PLACL.
Regardless of the cannula size Velancia Press Cog threads hold a thicker thread inside the cannula for better attachment to the tissue and creating a solid framework.
Velancia Press Cog insludes 3 types of pressed threads: Harpoon, Razor, and Wave.
Velancia Molding Cog Threads are specially designed to eliminate medium depth wrinkles and provide a lifting effect on the face and body. The special cone shaped barbs in Velancia Molding Cog threads provide a strong fixation of the thread to tissue and have a visible lifting effect.
PLACL - a new hybrid suture combining PLLA and PCL which provides a stable tensile strength, significant effect on skin quality and increased flexibility.
Collagen formation occurs around the threads and their cogs, producing a lifting effect. The PLACL thread biodegrades completely within 6 - 9 months through the process of hydrolysis, leaving the final products H₂O and CO₂.
Velancia Double from Koru Pharma is an amazing breakthrough in modern thread lifting. The uniqueness of the threads lies in their structure: two threads with multidirectional notches are fastened together in the form of a mesh placed into a cannular-carrier.
Combining two PDO (polydioxanone) threads in a mesh design Velancia Double is suitable for a number of procedures not only on the face, but also on the body.
Benefits:
- Elimination of manifestations of gravitational ptosis and age-related changes in the soft tissue of the face
- Enhanced lifting effect due to double threads
- Skin tightening
- Creating elastic framework
- Elimination of thin and deep wrinkles
Indications:
- Gravitational ptosis of the cheeks, submental region, eyebrows, the upper third of the face
- Distortion of the face line (bulldog cheeks)
- Nasolabial folds and deep wrinkles
- Flabbiness of the skin on the face, neck and décolleté area
- Flabbiness of the skin on the hands, abdomen, buttocks, inner thighs
Principle of operation
The primary lifting effect is provided due to the presence of multidirectional notches on the threads, while the secondary lifting effects are delivered during the formation of fibrosis around the threads during the healing process.
Barbs along the threads act as cogs to grasp, lift and suspend a relaxed facial tissue. Collagen formation occurs around the threads and their cogs, producing a lifting effect.
The thread biodegrades completely within 6 - 9 months through the process of hydrolysis, leaving the final products H₂O and CO₂.
