Threads
Threads
Threads offer a non-surgical solution for enhancing the appearance of the face and neck. This procedure involves the use of biodegradable and biocompatible threads to promote the generation of new collagen, ultimately leading to skin firmness, wrinkle reduction, and the tightening of pores. These threads are composed of PDO (Polydioxanone), a medical material with a proven track record for sustaining youthful-looking skin. In addition to its effectiveness in addressing facial concerns and wrinkles, PDO plays a role in relaxing muscles and tendons, contributing to the renewal of collagen and overall skin rejuvenation.
Areas of Application
- Brows and Forehead
- Cheeks and Midface
- Jawline and Neck
- Nasolabial Folds
- Under Eye Area
- Neck
- Overall Facial Rejuvenation
Ideal candidate
Typically, ideal candidates for a thread lift are individuals in the early stages of facial aging or those displaying mild signs of aging. Common indications include mild to moderate skin laxity, particularly in the mid-face area, and the presence of fine lines and wrinkles around the nose, mouth, and chin.
Types
- Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads: Constructed from a synthetic biodegradable polymer utilized in medicine, PDO threads undergo hydrolysis over six months within the body. This process enhances skin texture by promoting collagen improvement.
- Polylactic Acid (PLA) Threads: Comprising a biocompatible polymer derived from lactic acid, PLA threads are renewable and stimulate collagen production over time. Using cones, they anchor to the tissue, contributing to volume enhancement in areas prone to sagging.
- Polycaprolactone (PCA) Threads: Representing the latest advancements, PCA threads are bio-absorbable monofilament suspension threads. They offer skin support, firmness, and protection against sagging by promoting collagen production.
Procedure
The procedure begins with a thorough consultation to discuss treatment goals and assess suitability. Following preparation, which may involve cleansing and local anesthesia, the selected threads—such as PDO, PLA, or PCA—are strategically inserted beneath the skin using fine needles. These threads, known for their biodegradable and biocompatible properties, aim to lift and tighten the skin. Adjustments may be made to achieve the desired lifting effect, and the procedure concludes with gentle massaging of the treated area.
With minimal procedural and recovery time, visible results can be observed up to 18 months post-treatment. To ensure effectiveness and longevity, adherence to post-treatment instructions is important.
Benefits
- Thread treatments offer efficient, quick, and minimally downtime procedures, catering to individuals with busy schedules.
- Versatile thread types, like PDO, PLA, and PCA, address diverse skin concerns such as tightening and wrinkle reduction.
- The non-surgical nature of thread treatments minimizes risks associated with invasive procedures, providing a safer alternative for facial enhancement.
- Tailored approaches to individual needs allow for precision and contribute to a personalized, natural-looking enhancement.
- Thread treatments are particularly beneficial for individuals seeking comprehensive skin enhancement without opting for surgical solutions.
