Mechanisms of DermAureus BioActive Gold Thread Implantation
1) Wrinkles reduction: Implanting gold thread across to each other beneath the wrinkled skin can increase localized proliferation of skin matrices (collagen, elastine…etc) to encapsulate the implanted gold threads, hence create a permanent filler effects which push up the indented sub dermal space (which causes wrinkles);
2) Fine lines reduction: By creating customized box pattern for individual subject at varying degree, DermAureus Technique is able to generate substantial skin matrices to cover the whole box, achieving filler effects on vast facial or body area. There’re 2 stages of this mechanism, i.e. localized proliferation of skin matrices, and then distribution of newly developed skin matrices to the area 2 cm away from the gold thread implanted area.
3) Lifting of Sagging Skin: Thanks to the higher tension of DermAureus BioActive Gold Thread, the technique permits the lifting of sagging skin, and in some patients, this can be achieved instantly, as in the following picture. The instant lifting is possible in the cheeks, temple & chin. Lifting is continued in the following 3-5 months until achieving the expected results;

4) Improve Skin Complexion:DermAureus BioActive Gold Thread is able to create positive localized angiogenesis, where new blood vessels are created around the implanted gold thread to increase blood circulation to the implanted area, hence improving the skin complexion due to better blood circulation.
5) Anti-Inflammatory: ultra high purity gold in DermAureus BioActive Gold Thread is the best antiseptics. Hence its implantation is helpful in reducing acne, virus warts…and other skin inflammatory diseases. This effect is particularly prominent in acne. Initially, acne will increase in numbers & frequencies but will gradually reduced, and ultimately disappear in 6-9 months.
6) Bio-electro Stimulator:DermAureus Bio-Active Gold Thread can be implanted into the specific vital points or meridians as a permanent stimulator of body's bio-electricity, as in Bio-electro Stimulation Therapy. This is particularly helpful in the relieve or elimination of chronic pains or congestion of body systems. Bio-electro Stimulation Therapy is a combination of western biomedical sciences and acupuncture of traditional Chinese medicines.
Definition: Implantation of 99.99% ultra pure medical gold at the proliferative skin layer, to stimulate the proliferation of skin matrices, which will results in skin rejuvenation, characterized as reduced fines lines & wrinkles. The idea is origin from archeology when tiny pieces of gold is discovered in almost all well preserved mummies of ancient Egyptian queens, as well as the descriptions of implanting gold pieces into the body to achieve eternal youth in ancient Egyptian literatures. 99.99% pure medical gold is biodegradable, hence will be absorbed by the human body years after implantation.
1966: A French surgeon, Dr Caux implanted gold thread of ultra high purity（99.99%）into human faces to trigger positive proliferative immune responses, characterized as the localized increase of skin matrices to encapsulate the implanted gold thread, hence achieving reduction in facial fine lines and wrinkles. But this technique is only feasible in small area rejuvenation due to technical constrains.
1992: Dr D. Orenes coiled the fine gold thread with vicryl to strengthen it, and implant it under the skin with the help of surgical needles (1 mm in diameter, as thread leader). This technique improved the rejuvenation area of Gold Thread Skin Rejuvenation tremendously. However, implanting with 1 mm surgical needles make the procedure fairly invasive, requiring local anesthesia & constant control of bleeding throughout the implantation. Due to the invasiveness, the convalescent period of the treatment is several weeks to months, with many subjects suffering allergy due to the vicryl. Despite such complications, this product & procedure is approved by CE and is generally known as “European Technique” or “Korean’s Technique”, which gains popularity among European & some Asian countries.
European's Technique or Korean's Technique of Gold Thread Implantation
2000: “Koziczynski’s Method” - -- Invented by Dr Pawel W. Koziczynski（lower left picture）where the implantation of 0.1mm gold thread is achieved with 0.12 mm fine needles. The gold thread is implanted under the skin as a unique box patterns, hence is able to achieve low bleeding, slight pain implantation. However, due to the fine diameter of the gold thread, Koziczynski’s Technique can only achieve biochemical skin rejuvenation (lightening of fine lines & wrinkles) but is not helpful to sagging skin. Also, due to the low contents of gold in 0.1 mm thread, it takes fairly long to see the results (6-9 months) and shorter lasting（2-5 years）;
Koziczynski's Technique
2010:DermAureus Gold Thread Rejuvenation & Lifting Techniques -- Invented by the renowned aesthetic and anti-aging institution of Switzerland - Aeskulap Brunnen, DermAuresu is an improvised version of gold thread and its implantation technique, which not only reduce fine lines & wrinkles but also lift the sagging skin and improve the skin complexion. DermAureus technique also ensures totally painless and minimal bleeding procedure, and with higher content of bioactive gold, the result is manifested faster (3-5 months) , lasting as long as 8-15 years, making a great breakthrough in Gold Thread Skin Rejuvenation !!
The only Gold Thread Rejuvenation with the longest lasting results, widest applications and the most reasonable price. Preserve your youth and beauty for at least 10 years per implantarion ！！
-->Introduction The history of Gold Thread Implantation for aesthetics can be traced back to the time of ancient Egypt, with the discoveries of pieces of gold in the ancient Egyptian mummies. Incidences of gold implantation or rubbing gold to the face have also been recorded in literatures of ancient India and China, which laid the foundation for the modern medical implantation of gold thread for aesthetics.
French surgeon, Caux is the first doctor who implanted gold thread into human to improve skin texture, sagging and lightening of wrinkles. Since then, medical scientists of Europe and US took part in the research, development and improvisation of gold thread implantation. Japanese and Korean joined the competition since 20th century, bringing few evolution to Gold thread Implantation, in terms of the gold thread itself, and the techniques of implantation.
However, owing to the technical constrains, gold thread implantation cannot provide an overall solutions to all types of skin problems, as gold thread of bigger diameter can be used to lift up facial tissues but cannot be implanted to the area with thinner skin profile. Gold thread which is small enough for implantation to the thin skin areas are too small in diameter, hence cannot provide satisfactory results in lifting. Gold threads developed by Spanish comes with polyglycol acid thread, hence will cause allergic reactions post implantation.
Since 2006, Aeskulap Brunnen, which is a prestigious medical institution in aesthetic medicines, Switzerland, started the research to combine the advantages of all gold thread implantation techniques and finally, a gold thread which can be used for lifting, improving complexion, skin texture while at the same time，is equally effective in removing wrinkles and dark circle - DermaAureus Bioactive Gold Thread, is invented, which will stimulate synthesis of skin matrices and new blood vessels and rejuvenates the skin in 3-6 months.
DermaAureus Bioactive Gold thread is developed with the latest and patented technologies and produced by renowned Spanish producer in medical devices, is made of 24k 99.99 ultra pure medical gold，processed with patented bio-compatible technology patented by Aeskulap Brunnen, hence making DermaAureus Bioactive Gold a “super nutrients”which will not be rejected by human body but instead, can be utilized as a catalyst to various biochemical processes, e.g. synthesis of various skin matrices（collagen, elastine, hyaluronic acid……etc）.
Bioactive Gold in DermaAureus will also acts as an agent of constructive angiogenesis and natural antiseptics, hence is indicated as a permanent solution for dark circles (which is due to poor blood circulation around the eyes) and acne.
Indications DermaAureusBioactive Gold Thread is manufactured with the patented German echnology for implantation to Derma Papillae with patented implantation techniques, to trigger local synthesis of skin matrices, angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory and tissue repairing effects, with indications to the following conditions:
1) Lifting of sagging tissues: With the implantation techniques developed by Villa Medica, tension of DermaAureus Bioactive Gold Thread can lift up the sagging tissues, becoming a solution to sagging eyes, double chin and prominent laughing lines.
2) Lightening of wrinkles：DermAureus can stimulate synthesis of skin matrices within a very short time post implantation, e.g. collagen which make the skin firm, and elastine which smoothen the skin, hence, implantation of gold thread can fill up the subdermal cavities which cause wrinkles, hence is indicated for facial fine lines, naso-labial, wrinkles around the eyes and neck and other non physical wrinkles.
3) Scar repairing: DermAureus can induce constructive immune response which will eliminate scar tissues , by triggering transient inflammation to remove the scar tissues, followed by restoration of normal skin tissues to achieve lightening or elimination of scars.
4) Permanent Filler:DermAureus can be implanted densely to induce localized synthesis of skin matrices, to generate a permanent subdermal filling effects (as long as 5-10 years) to repair dented scars, e.g. acne scars…etc.
5) Angiogenesis：Formation of new networks of blood vessels in the implanted site to improveblood circulation, hence improve the skin complexion, which is particularly effective in dark circle.
6) Anti-inflammatory:DermAureus is a natural form of antiseptics which can eliminates almost allkinds of skin inflammatory conditions due to bacteria of viruses, which makes it the most powerfuland yet 0 side effects anti-inflammatory agents. Hence is indicated in the clinical treatment of acneand other skin inflammatory conditions.

--> Contraindications
Pregnancy, Unstable diabetes and psychiatric patients. Presentation DermAureus is a bioactive gold thread at a lngth of 50cm and 0.13mm in diameter, each thread is sterilized and processed for subdermal implantation.
-->Instruction
Depending on individual’s skin conditions, every 50cm of DermAureus Bioactive Gold Thread can be implanted to the skin surface of 25-50 sq cm to induce angiogenesis and to eliminate skin inflammatory conditions. DermAureus can be implanted as straight thread form, or in the coiled form to produce tensions for lifting. The tension increased as the distance between the coil getting denser. DermAureus can also be cut into small pieces for dense implantation for scar restoration or deep wrinkles lightening.
DermAureus Bioactive Gold thread can be implanted into any parts of the body , e.g. face, abdomen, waist, hip, thigh, lower and upper eyelids, temples…etc, to tighten the skin, or lightening of stretch marks after birth. The latest implantation technique developed is minimally invasive, making the implantation process almost painless without much bleeding. Doctors who perform the implantation must pass the training and evaluation oin order to carry out the procedure safely and efficaciously.
Charges: DermAureas bioactive gold thread is charged by the length og the gold thread used. It costs USD 100/cm and for aesthetics, there are 8 zones in the head with each zone requiring at least 50cm (depending on the surface area). More length is required for the rejuvenation of the abdomen and will range from 150 to 450cm, rejuvenation of skin of the arm will require 100-150cm, and 200 to 300cm for the skin of the buttock...etc. The total length of the gold thread required will be determined after clinical examination.
