  • Title: A new treatment for wrinkles.
    Author: Conley J, Selfe RW.
    Journal: Trans Sect Otolaryngol Am Acad Ophthalmol Otolaryngol; 1976; 82(4):ORL 427-31. PubMed ID: 785753.
    Abstract:
    A technique identified as threading is described for the treatment of wrinkles. Colorless 4-0 and 2-0 clear vicryl (Ethicon) has been threaded underneath the wrinkle for augmentation, and "basket weaving" has been applied to atrophic areas. As much as 40 feet of threads have been used at one time in the face. Complications are minimal, the results subtle, and the technique may be repeated. It is hoped that this concept will be developed further with the use of soft, colorless, nonabsorbable threading material (Prolene, Nurolon, Ethicon).
