Thread Lift
Have you heard about using threads for a facelift? Many people prefer to avoid surgical interventions, especially in cosmetic procedures, due to the associated risks, complications, and side effects, in addition to the long recovery time required after such surgeries. Hence, opting for non-surgical alternatives is the best solution in this case, and thread lifting is an excellent non-surgical alternative. In this article, you will learn about the uses and benefits of thread lifting, how to prepare for the procedure, and whether it has any risks or side effects.
What is Thread Lifting?
Thread lifting is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the face and rejuvenating it by using special threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. This technique is an effective alternative to traditional facelift surgery, characterized by minimal surgical intervention and a short recovery period, in addition to providing effective results with minimal risks and complications. The face is lifted using temporary threads, leading to a significant improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Moreover, the threads also help rejuvenate skin cells and tissues, giving the skin a more youthful appearance and stimulating collagen production, thereby delaying the onset of aging signs.
Who Can Undergo Thread Lifting?
The doctor is responsible for determining the best candidates for thread lifting and deciding the suitable methods for each case to tighten the skin and treat various wrinkles. Generally, thread lifting can be performed for those experiencing early signs of aging around the mouth, nose, and chin and those with lost skin elasticity. The age range of those who may need a thread lift typically falls between 30 and 50 years.
Additionally, thread lifting is suitable for those not expecting radical results or a significant change in facial appearance. It is also an ideal option for individuals with chronic diseases that might conflict with surgical interventions aimed at tightening facial sagging and wrinkles.
Benefits of Thread Lifting
Thread lifting has many benefits, the most important being that the side effects are very limited. It also helps boost collagen production and requires no recovery time after the session. What if you don’t like the final results of the thread lift? In this case, the doctor can easily remove the threads.
Thread lifting can be used to create some changes in the face’s appearance, such as:
- Achieving cat eyes or fox eyes by pulling the eyebrows upwards towards the temples.
- Lifting sagging eyebrows.
- Lifting and slimming the nose; in some cases, thread lifting may be combined with a nose filler.
- Tightening sagging neck skin.
How Are Threads Placed in the Skin?
Thread lifting does not require many procedures or even a hospital stay. It can be done in the doctor’s office and takes about an hour. During the procedure, the doctor places hollow needles or cannulas under the skin after applying a local anesthetic to guide the threads into the areas to be treated. The number of threads used depends on the size of the area you want to lift on your face.
How to Prepare for Thread Lifting
Preparing for a thread lift does not require many steps. You only need to discuss with the doctor the areas you want to lift and the expected results. The doctor will then determine the number of threads needed.
When Do Thread Lift Results Appear?
You will be able to see some results and differences in the skin and facial appearance shortly after the session. However, final results may take 4 to 8 weeks, which is the time it takes for collagen to form. It is important to note that the final results depend on your age, the condition of your skin, and your body’s speed in producing collagen.
Drawbacks of Thread Lifting
Although thread lifting is very safe and does not cause severe complications or side effects, in some cases, it can cause the following symptoms:
- Changes in skin texture: Some people may develop bumps or wrinkles in the skin over the threads, which may fade over time.
- Irritation and redness.
- Stiffness in some areas of the skin in some cases.
