series of pseudoscience: 3. implanted gold wire to make facial skin look younger

In nowadays, there is a new plastic surgery for aged skin, although its safety is still controversial. Basically, the gold wires are implanted into one's face to make kind of net structure. This gold network could support skin itself; and this materials also stimulate skin (e.g. collagen) to re-grow and improve elasticity of skin. Besides infection, a major danger about this surgery is the gold wires might be broken after years and then leave problematic pieces under skin.

There is a commercial advertising about this kind of surgery, see:
