鈴鐺線究竟是否可有效拉提中臉、下顎線與頸部的皮膚鬆弛?是否真的能讓中臉蘋果肌增加體積、恢復飽滿?為了深入了解實際效果,資深醫師(Julius Warren Few)帶領研究團隊蒐集了 100 例接受治療的患者進行臨床分析,重點關注在鈴鐺線效果、併發症、安全性與耐受性等,以下和大家分享研究結果。
為什麼我們需要鈴鐺線拉提?
鈴鐺線與傳統的埋線不同,它採用PLGA可吸收線材,並結合特別的鈴鐺錐體設計,在我們隨著年齡增長,進入皮膚彈性下降、膠原蛋白流失的階段時,鈴鐺線能提供下垂鬆弛的皮膚一個強韌穩固的拉提支撐效果,同時刺激膠原蛋白增生,讓皮膚在拉提後持續緊緻,達到更自然的視覺年輕化效果。
鈴鐺線真的有效嗎?百份研究報告結果
鈴鐺線研究於 2015 年 11 月至 2016 年 6 月進行,針對 100 位接受鈴鐺線治療的患者,透過術前、術後3個月與術後6個月的觀察與影像分析,評估療程效果;並提供匿名問卷機制,獲得真實的體驗回饋。在當時,這是目前美國最大規模的鈴鐺線臨床研究,對埋線拉提的發展具有指標性意義。
在這 100 位接受鈴鐺線治療的患者臨床分析中,研究團隊分享匿名問卷的統計結果:
1. 效果立即可見
術後一週,68% 的患者認為輪廓線條變得緊實、臉部線條提升。術後三個月,高達83% 的患者認為臉部老化問題獲得改善。
2. 恢復期短,耐受度高
96% 的患者認為術後不適在可接受範圍內,89% 的患者術後不需要額外服用止痛藥。大家擔心的副作用,例如瘀青、輕微腫脹,大多數患者在24至48小時內就能恢復正常生活。
3. 滿意度高,願意推薦
79% 的患者對最終效果感到滿意,82% 願意向親友推薦鈴鐺線。
4. 影像分析驗證效果
91% 的患者在中臉與下顎線的鬆弛情況獲得改善,其中 70.3% 的患者在中臉體積改善量表(Allergan Midface Volume Deficit Scale)上提升 1 級,13.2% 提升 2 級,顯示鈴鐺線確實有助於改善臉部下垂問題。
5. 安全性高,幾乎無併發症
在所有受試者中,無人發生神經損傷、臉部麻痺或感染,也沒有進行額外修復手術。
鈴鐺線特色分析
1. 鈴鐺線效果更持久
與傳統 PDO 線材相比,鈴鐺線的PLGA材質的降解過程更長,可持續刺激膠原蛋白增生,讓提拉效果更持久,維持時間可達至少一年。
2. 鈴鐺錐體設計
一般埋線拉提使用「倒勾線」,依靠細小的倒勾抓取拉提下垂的軟組織,但因為受力面積太小,拉提效果可能較不穩定、線材斷裂的機會也比較高;而鈴鐺線的鈴鐺錐體則是提供更大接觸面積,不僅能更牢固地抓緊下垂的軟組織,也降低了術後不適感,減少線材移位或皮膚凹陷的風險。
3. 促進膠原蛋白增生
鈴鐺線除了提供即時拉提,還能透過 PLGA 線材的逐步降解,刺激自體膠原蛋白增生,使皮膚隨時間變得更緊緻,達到更自然的皮膚緊緻光滑效果。
4. 動態拉提效果
鈴鐺錐體可以在線結之間自由滑動,隨著臉部肌肉動作去調節位置,這樣一來可讓臉部表情更自然,不會產生僵硬感,符合亞洲人對於「自然感年輕化」的追求。
從研究可看出,鈴鐺線是一項安全性高、效果顯著且恢復期短的微創拉提技術,對於希望改善臉部輕中度下垂鬆弛的患者來說,是一個兼具即時拉提效果與長期膠原蛋白增生的理想選擇。
