Thread Lifting
Thread Lifting
Thread lift is a medical procedure aimed at tightening sagging tissues on the face without surgery. It is created by modifying the structure and shape of special surgical threads made of polydioxanone (PDO). This procedure is based on the principle of inserting special threads compatible with human tissue, resistant to tension, under the skin with the help of a guide needle. The threads placed under the skin trigger collagen production, increase skin elasticity, and lift sagging areas. The effect of the procedure begins within a few weeks and can last up to approximately 2 years. It is a method that can be used, especially in correcting the appearance of sagging cheeks and jawline, sharpening the jawline, lifting the eyebrows, and treating wrinkles.
Who is Thread Lift for?
Thread lift is a method applied to patients who do not want to undergo facelift surgery, avoid anesthesia, and want to avoid the side effects of surgery. The results are better, especially in patients aged 30-65 with no excessive sagging. Thread lift is a method that can be applied to correct neck sagging and lift eyebrows in younger patients.
How is Thread Lift applied?
The application area is cleaned, and the skin is numbed with a local anesthetic cream or a local injection. Special fine needles, similar to the special cannulas used in filler applications, are used to place the threads. These fine needles do not cause pain on the skin.
Are there any risks with Thread Lift?
Bruising and swelling may occur after the procedure. There are no permanent side effects. These effects subside within 5 days. Although asymmetry rarely occurs, it can be corrected if necessary.
