GRUZDEV TREND

Innovative Thread Implantation Technology

Revolutionary Thread Technology for Advanced Aesthetic Solutions

Gruzdev Trend represents a breakthrough in aesthetic medicine, offering innovative thread implantation solutions. Our threads are crafted from a unique copolymer composition (75% L-lactide and 25% ε-caprolactone), providing optimal tissue compatibility and sustained effectiveness. This advanced technology enables precise facial and body contouring, with results that harmoniously combine immediate improvement and progressive enhancement.

UNIQUE THREAD COMPOSITION

The 75/25 ratio of PLA + PLC delivers a visible lifting and firming effect while simultaneously improving skin quality.

WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

The product line includes all thread types and configurations for lifting, reinforcement, contouring, and biostimulation of facial and body soft tissues.

HIGH LEVEL OF STABILITY

The threads' composition and structure ensure optimal anchorage in tissues with minimal trauma during implantation.

EXCELLENT SAFETY PROFILE

GT Threads are made from biocompatible materials that do not cause allergic reactions or provoke rejection by the body.

LONG-LASTING RESULTS

The exceptional quality of GT Threads combined with specialized implantation techniques provides results that can last for several years.

THREAD CLASSIFICATION BY AESTHETIC OUTCOME

Threads and techniques by Gruzdev Trend are designed to achieve four primary aesthetic effects. Which effect will dominate depends on the thread's composition and structure, as well as the type of delivery tool used — needle or cannula.

Based on the predominant aesthetic result, threads are classified into four main categories.

01

LIFTING THREADS

Used to lift (reposition) and anchor soft tissues, providing visible tightening and contour improvement.

02

REINFORCEMENT THREADS

Designed to fix soft tissues in place without repositioning. Over time, they may produce an indirect lifting effect by forming a connective tissue scaffold in the treated area.

03

BIOSTIMULATING THREADS

Deliver a rejuvenating effect by stimulating skin regeneration, enhancing hydration, and activating the production of collagen and elastin.

04

CONTOURING THREADS

Not a fundamentally different type of thread, but rather a technique-focused approach to using threads for reshaping specific facial features, in addition to lifting and rejuvenation. Contour formation can involve lifting, reinforcement, or biostimulating threads, and most often a combination of all three.

CHRIST — Classification by Structural Thread Modification

All thread-and-needle sets available on the aesthetic market today were systematically categorized by Dr. D.A. Gruzdev, President of the Association of Thread Implantologists.

He proposed dividing threads into six structural modifications, each resembling a Latin letter.

Together, these letters form the acronym CHRIST, which significantly simplifies the learning and teaching of thread implantation techniques.

Classic Converging Needles

C – "Classic Converging Needles"

Structural Features:
  • Two solid needles with blunt ends, attached to a thread with barbs or cones
  • Variations depend on barb shape, thread length and thickness, needle length, and needle tip geometry
  • One entry point, two exit points
Effect:
  • Primarily lifting
  • Tissue is repositioned toward the fixation point after placement
  • Can also be used for reinforcement if no major tissue displacement is performed
Horizontal Dual-Ended Needles

H – "Horizontal Dual-Ended Needles"

Structural Features:
  • Two straight, double-ended solid needles, with the thread passing between their central portions and featuring barbs
Effect:
  • Mainly lifting
  • The degree of lift can be adjusted post-insertion, as in modification "C"
Reverse Anchor Technique

R – "Reverse Anchor Technique"

Structural Features:
  • The tip of the thread is inserted into the lumen of a hollow needle or cannula, from the tip end, while the rest of the thread remains outside
Effect:
  • Delivers a biostimulating, rejuvenating effect
  • Threads are very fine, so lifting and reinforcement effects are minimal
Internal Cannula Barbed Thread

I – "Internal Cannula Barbed Thread"

Structural Features:
  • The thread is fully enclosed within a hollow needle or cannula
  • All variations include barbs, which may differ in orientation and shape
Effect:
  • Reinforcing or lifting, depending on the insertion method
  • Tissue repositioning occurs during needle withdrawal
Spring Thread

S – "Spring Thread"

Structural Features:
  • A smooth spiral thread, wound externally around a hollow needle, with the end inserted into the needle tip
Effect:
  • Primarily lifting
  • Can act as a reinforcement thread if inserted with minimal tension
Tunneling Technique Thread

T – "Tunneling Technique Thread"

Structural Features:
  • A smooth thread, attached at one end to a double-ended (curved or straight) needle
  • Variations exist in thread length and thickness, and needle shape and size
Effect:
  • Lifting via mechanical tissue fixation
  • Requires a small incision (~1 cm) for thread anchoring
