Abstract

With the entry of an aging society, the average life span of accreditation has been extended. Therefore, interest in the appearance of men and women in modern society has increased. It is the wrinkles of the face that can judge the most outwardly. People tend to have various kinds of treatments to have a clean, wrinkle-free and resilient healthy skin regardless of sex. There is a lot of practice of lifting procedures in one of the procedures. A suture using a melting thread is a method of lifting by squeezing it into the skin as a non-incision type centering on a region where the thread can be fixed in the skin by injecting it into the subcutaneous fat layer. To evaluate the lifting efficacy of Cog - type suture for the improvement of skin wrinkles, preclinical experiments were conducted. We developed a wrinkle evaluation program using Labview. Data from preclinical experiments were used at 8 weeks after suturing. The average wrinkle depth was 415.6 mm in the control group. At 8 weeks, the depth of wrinkles was deepened to 888.3mm due to the aging process of the control group. On the other hand, the depth of the wrinkles before surgery was 640.3 mm in the suture group. It was confirmed that the depth of wrinkles decreased to 566.5mm at 8th week after the suture operation.

고령화 사회의 진입과 더불어 인가의 평균수명이 연장됨에 따라 현대사회의 남성 및 여성의 외모에 대한 관심이 증가하여 가장 외면적으로 판단할 수 있는 것이 바로 얼굴의 주름이다. 이에 남녀를 불문하고 깨끗하고 주름이 없으면서 탄력성이 있는 건강한 피부를 갖기 위하여 사람들은 각종 시술을 받고 있는 추세이다. 시술 중 하나의 방법으로 리프팅 시술 방법이 많이 시행되고 있는데, 녹는실을 이용한 봉합사는 피하지방층에 주입하여 피부 속에 실을 고정할 수 있는 부위를 중심으로 비절개 형식으로서 피부 속으로 걸어 당겨주어서 리프팅을 시키는 방법이다. 이에 피부 주름 개선을 위한 Cog형 봉합사의 리프팅 효능을 검증하기 위하여 전임상 실험을 진행하였으며, Labview를 이용하여 주름 평가 프로그램을 개발하였다. 전임상 실험의 데이터는 봉합사 시술 후 8주째 측정 데이터를 사용하였으며, 대조군의 시술 전 개체들이 평균 주름의 깊이는 4.15mm이었고, 8주가 지난 시점 대조군의 노화 진행으로 인하여 8.88mm로 주름의 깊이가 깊어졌다. 반면 봉합사 시술을 시행한 실험군은 시술 전 주름의 깊이는 6.4mm이었고, 봉합사 시술 후 8주차에는 주름의 깊이가 5.66mm로 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
