What are the benefits of thread lifts? This involves the use of a needle to inject small barbs on the skin's dissolvable threads. These barbs pull the skin in place, stimulating the body to make collagen and elastin. This gives the skin structure and support. Thread lifts can be performed safely and with minimal risk. Some side effects may be mild and temporary. These symptoms will resolve in a few working days.
Thread lift sutures are inserted in 1 or 2 directions
To perform a Thread Lift, a small needle can be inserted under the skin to numb the entry points. To reposition the sagging tissue, a barbed thread is placed under the skin. The thread will slowly dissolve, leaving behind new collagen that can be used to support the repositioning over a prolonged period. The procedure is performed usually in the surgeon’s office. The sutures are usually placed in one to two directions depending on the anatomy. Afterward, the threads dissolve over a period of three to four months, and there is a minimal chance of long-term complications with thread lift.
They stimulate collagen manufacturing
Thread lifts can be a great way to make your skin look younger. These non-surgical procedures increase collagen and elastin production in the body. The threads' barbs act as cogs lifting the sagging tissues. Barbs, also known as cones or barbs, hook into the skin. The sutures become absorbed by our bodies and collagen is created in their place. These threads are then absorbed again by the body and left in the area for over one year.
They don't require incisions
Thread lifts are much less painful than traditional face lifts. Although there is some healing required, the results are not too severe. Bruising and swelling are common post-operation side effects, but they will usually go away within a week. Patients should refrain from strenuous activity for at least a week after their procedure. If sutures become loose, it is possible to remove them and replace them with newer ones.
They last upto 2 years
Thread lifts can last up to 2 years with minimal downtime. After the procedure, there may be some soreness or bruising for the first few days. However, once that is over, you can return to your daily routine. The results can last anywhere from six to nine months and will continue for two to three more years. Thread lifts are not only effective in lifting the upper face but can also improve the appearance and texture of the neck and other areas. Before scheduling a thread lift, you will need to undergo a complimentary consultation.
They offer a non-surgical option to surgical facelifts
Thread lifts, a non-surgical alternative for surgical facelifts, are also available. These cosmetic procedures use sutures made up of resorbable yarns to lift skin at the mid-face. They are painless and take around 45 minutes. The threads are then pulled taut and massaged to ensure they are well embedded. This stimulates the body to produce collagen. The results can last up one year.
Side effects, risks
Patient who is considering threadlifts should be familiar with the risks and side effects. Thread lifts present minimal risks which are why they are so popular among practitioners and patients. However, no procedure is risk-free, so it is important to be informed. Patients who are considering thread lifts should have a consultation in order to understand the potential risks and benefits. During this consultation, a medically-trained practitioner will talk to the patient about these issues.
