By dissolving threads into the skin layer, "thread lifting" is a method for lifting and tightening the facial skin that helps solve the problem of a sagging face, maintains the cheeks firm, and reduces small wrinkles.

By dissolving threads into the skin layer, &quot;thread lifting&quot; is a method for lifting and tightening the facial skin that helps solve the problem of a sagging face, maintains the cheeks firm, and reduces small wrinkles. This causes a slight inflammation of the tissues, which stimulates the production of new collagen around the threads and improves blood circulation to the epidermis in that area. When the quantity of collagen in the skin increases, the facial skin appears firmer and more youthful, and thread lifting helps lift and tighten the sagging facial frame, resulting in a lifted face with a clear and slender front frame.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

In addition, there is currently a thread lift for drooping eyebrows and eyelids. Additional thread lifting is performed on the cheek groove to make it appear shallower, and a nasal thread lift can make the nose appear more attractive and reduce the size of the nostrils. It also helps elevate the point of the nose to make it appear higher.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Who is thread lifting suitable for?&nbsp;

Thread lifting is appropriate for individuals who are at least 25 years old and are beginning to experience issues with sagging facial skin. This can be caused by the breakdown of collagen beneath the skin and the age-related decline in collagen synthesis, resulting in sagging and loose skin. Exposure to sunlight, stress, and a lack of appropriate skin care can also influence the skin&#39;s collagen production and breakdown.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Thread lifting is ideal for those who wish to achieve a more youthful appearance and a reduced face without undergoing surgery. Thread lifting may be the solution you&#39;re looking for if you&#39;re looking for a fast and effective way to address sagging cheeks.&nbsp;

How many different types of silk threads are there?&nbsp;

There are numerous varieties of thread lifting, which vary according to the type of silk thread, threading technique, and thread pattern. PDO silk, Barb silk, Fishbone silk, Rose silk, Tornado silk, Italian silk, Mint silk, Ultra V silk, etc. are popular varieties of silk threads. However, various clinics and companies may refer to the same type of thread by different names.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Silk threads in medicine can be broadly divided into two categories: silky threads and threads with spines. They resemble short silk strands and are shorter than 10 cm in length. They help firm the skin, reduce wrinkles caused by the breakdown of collagen, and concentrate on elevating and tightening the dermis layer of the skin, stimulating collagen more effectively than Silk Barb. In contrast to silk strands with spines, however, the body lacks spines and cannot be locked to the subcutaneous tissue, so the face can be lifted and pulled with less force.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

In contrast, silk strands with protruding spines are larger, and the protruding spines help lock the subcutaneous tissue and support the cheeks. This form of thread is more effective because there is an immediate visible difference in the face, and clear results are visible one month after thread lifting. Additionally, fewer threads are required to elevate the face because the spines lock the tissue more effectively than smooth threads. However, improper threading techniques can cause the thread to be felt in the threading area, and thread lift can result in ridges or waves on the face.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Both thread lifting and barb threading can be performed concurrently, as the barb silk helps to elevate and pull the sagging face while the smooth silk tightens and retightens the loose skin. Thus, they can increase one another&#39;s productivity. Overall, thread lifting is appropriate for those who want to lift their face, appear younger, have a slender face, or eliminate sagging cheeks without undergoing surgery and achieving immediate results.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

What is the duration of thread lifting?&nbsp;

The duration of the lifting effect is contingent on the type and composition of the strands employed. When all threads have dissolved and the face begins to sag once more, thread extraction can be repeated. If the face still appears firm after the allotted time, there is no need to promptly repeat the thread.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The result of thread extraction is approximately fifty percent visible immediately after the procedure. When the strands are completely dissolved, which typically takes between one and three months, the full effect of lifting will be visible. PDO threads can last up to one year, whereas PCL or PLLA threads decompose more slowly and can last between two and three years.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Is thread lifting risky?&nbsp;

When quality, FDA-approved dissolvable threads are used, thread lifting is not hazardous. The threads are safe and entirely dissolve, leaving no residue behind. Additionally, it is essential that the procedure be performed by a physician with a high level of skill and experience to ensure excellent results and reduce the risk of side effects. Recovery duration is brief.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

How should I conduct prior to and after thread lifting?&nbsp;

Before the procedure, you must disclose any previous drug allergies as well as your current vitamin and medication use. Before the procedure, you must refrain from consuming aspirin, NSAIDs, ginseng, and vitamin E. Additionally, alcohol and activities that increase blood flow should be avoided.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

After the procedure, it is normal for the treated area to experience edema, redness, and bruising, which should subside within two to three days. Applying cold compresses can alleviate discomfort. For one week, it is essential to refrain from peeling, scratching, pressing, or massaging the treated area and to avoid vigorously touching the face. Additionally, you should not expose the wound to fluids for 48 hours. After the thread lift, the wound will be a small needle hole around the hairline, 1-2 points on each side, and it will heal on its own within 3-7 days. You should continue taking antibiotics until your doctor advises otherwise. For the first week following the procedure, it is essential to limit facial movement to prevent the threads from becoming dislodged or unlocked. In addition, you must desist from alcoholic beverages for one week and deep heat treatments like Ulthera or HIFU for one month.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Without surgery, &quot;thread lifting&quot; is a method of lifting and tightening facial tissue that can correct sagging cheeks, drooping cheeks, and uneven facial contours. However, it is essential to note the possibility of adverse effects. Following the procedure, rigidity and edema may occur around the face, and the injection of anesthesia and bleeding under the skin may cause bruising. Typically, these symptoms resolve gradually and vanish within 7-14 days. To avoid negative side effects, it is essential to select a reputable clinic with knowledgeable physicians and high-quality materials.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Additionally, there are some individuals who should avoid thread lifting. Uncontrolled diabetes, elevated blood pressure, and the use of anticoagulant medications or supplements such as vitamin E or Ginkgo may lead to complications during the procedure. Additionally, expectant women should never engage in thread lifting.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Thread lifting is a highly effective and efficient method for enhancing facial appearance without invasive surgery. Before deciding to undergo the procedure, comprehensive research and consultation with an experienced physician are essential for optimal results.&nbsp;
