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, Institute of Biomedical Research, Switzerland, which is a prestigious medical institution in aesthetic medicines 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 - Derma Gold Bioactive Gold Thread, is invented, which will stimulate synthesis of skin matrices and new blood vessels and rejuvenates the skin in 3-6 months.
Derma Gold 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 Institute of Biomedical Research, Switzerland, hence making the Derma Gold 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 and etc）. Bioactive Gold in Derma Gold 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.
Derma Gold Bioactive Gold Thread is manufactured with the patented Swiss technology 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:
Pregnancy, unstable diabetes and psychiatric patients.
Each box of Derma Gold contains 6 Derma Gold Bioactive Gold thread, each thread is 50cm in length and 0.13mm in diameter, each thread is sterilized and packed in metallic foils.
Depending on individual´s skin conditions, every 50cm of Derma Gold Bioactive Gold Thread can be implanted to the skin surface of 25-50 sq cm to induce angiogenesis and to eliminate skin inflammatory conditions. Derma Gold 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 coils getting denser. Derma Gold can also be cut into small pieces for dense implantation for scar restoration or deep wrinkles lightening.
Derma Gold Bioactive Gold thread can be implanted into any parts of the body, e.g. face, abdomen, waist, hip, thigh, lower and upper eyelids, temples and etc, to tighten the skin, or lightening of stretch marks after birth. The latest implantation technique developed by Institute of Biomedical Research, Switzerland is minimally invasive, making the implantation process almost painless without much bleeding. Doctors who perform the implantation must pass the training and evaluation of Institute of Biomedical Research, Switzerland and PHRI Biotech Sdn Bhd, in order to carry out the procedure safely and efficaciously.
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and keep out of reach of children.
Microscopic skin histology which proven that Derma Gold Implantation can stimulates the synthesis of skin matrices, the following miscroscopic images show that implanted Derma Gold is encapsulated by a sheath which is comprises of collagen, elastine and other skin matrices.
