Face Thread lifting
A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that aims to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck using special absorbable medical threads. It is a less invasive alternative to traditional facelifts, delivering noticeable results with a shorter recovery period.
How does a thread lift work?
Mini-threads are inserted under the skin using fine needles into specific areas requiring lifting. These threads contain small bumps or cones that:
Mechanical lifting: When gently pulled, the threads lift and tighten sagging skin instantly.
Collagen stimulation: The threads stimulate the long-term production of collagen and elastin in the skin, improving skin elasticity and texture.
What areas can a thread lift treat?
Sagging cheeks
Undefined jawline
Neck wrinkles and double chin
Eyebrow lift
Facial contouring
Advantages of a thread lift:
Minimal invasive procedure: Does not require large surgical incisions.
Shortened recovery period: Patients can return to daily activities within a few days. Natural Results: Provides a natural facelift without a stretched or artificial appearance.
Long-Term Collagen Stimulation: Improves skin quality over time.
Quick Procedure: Typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Local Anesthesia: Performed under mild local anesthesia.
Who are suitable candidates for a thread lift?
Ideal candidates are typically those with mild to moderate sagging in the face and neck who are seeking a non-surgical solution to improve their appearance.
Possible Risks and Side Effects:
Side effects are usually minor and temporary and may include:
Mild swelling and bruising
Mild pain at the insertion site
A tightening or tingling sensation
Possibility of threads appearing under the skin temporarily (rare)
Important Note: You should consult a cosmetic surgeon to evaluate your case and determine whether a thread lift is the right procedure for you, and to explain all aspects of the procedure and potential risks.
In short, a thread facelift is a relatively safe and effective cosmetic option for lifting and tightening sagging facial skin with minimally invasive procedures and a short recovery period.
