Results of Treatment with Tensor Hylos

Treatment with tension hilos (also known as magic hilos or supporting hilos) is a minimally invasive aesthetic medicine procedure designed to combat facial and body sagging, offering a gentle lifting effect without the need for surgery.

The results of tensor hilums are characterized by being dual (immediate and long term), and their duration depends directly on the type of hilum and the patient's biological response.

Here you have a complete detail about the results that can be expected and their duration.

The Results Mechanism: Double Action

The tensor hiles (commonly manufactured with Polydioxanone – PDO or Polylactic Acid – PLA) achieve their rejuvenating effect through the following processes:

Immediate Action (Traction):

Result: Just after placement, the doctor slightly stretches the hilums (especially the spiculated hilos, which have small “hooks”). This provides an immediate gentle and visible lifting effect to reposition sagging jawline or cheekbones.

Duration: This initial effect is maintained while the hilum is anchored to the fabric.

Large Plazo Action (Biostimulation):

Result: This is the most valuable and longest-lasting result. As the body detects the hilum as an extraneous body, it begins a process of neocollagenogenesis (production of new collagen) around it.

Mechanism: The hilum reabsorbs naturally (generally within 6 to 12 months), but the newly formed collagen creates an internal support matrix that tenses and reaffirms the skin from within.

Chronology of Results (What the Patient Notes)

The evolution of results is gradual and requires patience, as collagen stimulation takes time.

Period When the Patient Observes Emphasis on the Result

:— :— :—

Immediate (Day 0) Slight lifting effect (gentle lifting). Possible swelling and small bruises at entry points. Initial Tensor Effect.

3 – 6 Weeks Beginning of Collagenogenesis. The swelling disappears completely and the skin starts to feel denser and firmer. Improves texture and firmness.

2 – 3 Months Definitive and Optimal Result. The collagen is mature and the skin has improved its quality and elasticity. Maximum Firming and Redefinition of Facial Beauty.

Duration of Effect and Maintenance

The duration of improvement depends on the material on the hilum, the treated area and the patient's lifestyle habits (such as sun care).

General Duration: The aesthetic effect of treatment with tensor hilos can last between 12 and 18 months (the PDO hiles) or up to 24 months (the Polylactic Acid hiles – PLA).

Reabsorption Engagement: It is important to remember that the hilum is reabsorbed sooner (in a few months), but the lifting effect lasts much longer thanks to the collagen deposit that the body has created in its place.

Maintenance: To maintain the redefinition of the facial eye, the doctor may recommend touch-up sessions or repeat treatments every 12 to 18 months.

Post-Treatment Care (Minimal Recovery)

Diseases: Mild inflammation and bruising is common during the first 48 hours.

Prohibitions: You must sleep with your mouth up for the first 3 to 5 days and avoid massaging or touching the treated area for at least a few months to prevent the hilos from falling apart.

Activity: The patient can resume their daily and work activities immediately, as this is a minimally invasive procedure.

Treatment with tension hilos is an excellent option to tighten the skin of the face and the skin in a natural way, without scars and with a prolonged effect over time.
