Innovating Facial Rejuvenation Through Advanced Biomaterials
At ReLiftMD, our commitment to scientific excellence drives the continuous evolution of our facial rejuvenation procedures. Our latest advancements focus on the development and clinical evaluation of polymorphic scaffolding sutures, a groundbreaking innovation in aesthetic surgery.
Polymorphic Scaffolding Sutures: A Collaborative Innovation
In collaboration with North Carolina State University and Clemson University, Dr. Adam Summers has spearheaded clinical studies at The Aesthetic Institute in Millersville, Maryland to develop and evaluate the efficacy of polymorphic scaffolding sutures. These bio-integrated materials are designed to provide dynamic support to soft tissues, adapting to the natural movements and contours of the face, while enhancing the structural integrity of the treated tissues. For cosmetic patients, these procedures yield naturally youthful outcomes with long-lasting results.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Adaptive Support: The polymorphic nature of these materials enables them to conform to the changing dynamics of facial expressions, ensuring sustained support and minimizing the risk of tissue migration or sagging over time.
- Enhanced Tissue Integration: The scaffold-like structure promotes cellular ingrowth and vascularization through natural healing processes, facilitating integration and strengthening the host tissue.
Minimized Invasiveness: Designed for use in minimally invasive procedures, these materials reduce the need for extensive surgical intervention, leading to shorter recovery times and reduced patient discomfort.
Clinical Study Insights:
Long-term results from the ongoing clinical studies reveal that patients undergoing the RE•LIFT™ procedure with polymorphic scaffolding sutures experience improved aesthetic outcomes, with enhanced tissue support and longevity of results. The studies demonstrate a favorable safety profile, with no significant adverse events reported to date.
