Thread Lift
At Facethetics, we provide cutting-edge thread lift operations that lift and rejuvenate sagging facial tissue, giving patients minimum downtime and natural-looking results. Our thread lift procedures are intended to help you seem younger and more refreshed by addressing aging symptoms like wrinkles, volume loss, and loose skin.
What is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves lifting and realigning sagging facial tissue with dissolvable threads. Long-term increases in skin firmness and elasticity are produced as a consequence of this technique’s rapid lifting effects and stimulation of collagen formation. People looking for a slight but visible improvement without the dangers and recovery time associated with surgery should consider thread lifts.
Procedure
At Facethetics Skin Clinic, our thread lift surgery is carried out by knowledgeable specialists with a wealth of training and expertise in aesthetic medicine. What to anticipate from your appointment is as follows:
1. Consultation: You will meet with one of our skilled practitioners to talk over your expectations, worries, and aesthetic goals prior to the surgery. After evaluating your facial anatomy, we’ll create a treatment plan that is specific to your requirements and preferences.
2. Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned before the process starts, and a local anesthetic may be used to reduce pain. In order to achieve the desired lifting effect, our practitioner will identify the places where the threads will be put and establish the best placement.
3. Thread Placement: To raise and support drooping tissue, dissolvable threads made of biocompatible polymers, such as polydioxanone (PDO) or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), are gently introduced beneath the skin using a small needle. The threads are positioned carefully to target particular trouble spots, including the brows, jawline, or cheeks.
4. Lifting and Sculpting: Our practitioner will carefully manage the threads once they are in place to lift and sculpt the facial contours, giving the appearance of renewed vitality. The amount and arrangement of threads will change based on the intended result and the required level of correction.
5. Aftercare: You might have some mild bruising, swelling, or discomfort after the surgery, but these are usually treatable with cold compresses and over-the-counter painkillers. To ensure optimal outcomes and encourage appropriate recovery, our practitioner will provide you comprehensive aftercare advice.
Benefits
- Immediate Lifting:With thread lifts, you might see a considerable improvement in sagging skin and facial contours right away.
- Stimulated Collagen Production: Thread lifts help to produce more collagen over time, which improves the smoothness, elasticity, and firmness of the skin.
- Minimal Downtime: Thread lifts require less recovery time than surgical facelift procedures, so you can resume your regular activities with little disruption.
Side Effects
While thread lifts are generally safe, some potential side effects may occur, including:
- Temporary Swelling and Bruising: At the treatment site, mild bruising and swelling are normal and usually go away in a few days to a week.
- Discomfort: The treated area may feel a little tight or uncomfortable, but this is normally manageable with over-the-counter pain medicine.
- Visible Threads:Sometimes, especially in the early stages of healing, the threads under the skin may be just barely visible. But this is just temporary, as the threads disappear and blend in with the surrounding tissue.
Aftercare
To promote optimal healing and enhance the longevity of your results, it’s essential to follow these aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: After the operation, avoid vigorous exercise or any activity that could put tension on your face muscles for at least a week or two.
- Protect the Skin: To protect the skin from UV damage, which can hinder healing and impact your outcomes, stay out of the direct sun and wear sunscreen.
- Follow Up: Keep all of your follow-up meetings as planned with your practitioner to discuss any concerns, evaluate your healing, and track your progress.
