Overview
A Thread Lift is a minimally invasive alternative to the conventional surgical facelift, aimed at lifting and tightening ageing skin. Thread lifts are able produce immediate and instant results of face lifting with further improvement of skin quality and skin tightening becoming more noticeable in the months following the procedure due to the continuous stimulation of collagen production. Thread lift procedures are very versatile as they can be performed on various parts of our face and body with minimal pain and downtime.
Feature and Mechanism
Threads can achieve the desired lifting effect using barbs found on the threads that latch into your skin and facial fat like small fishhooks, thus allowing doctors to pull and lift sagging areas of the face. Furthermore, the threads are made from material such as Polydioxanone (PDO), Polylactic acid (PLLA), and Polycaprolactone (PCL).
Once embedded into our skin, the material of the threads stimulates cells in your body called fibroblasts to produce more collagen which is the protein that gives your skin its structure and elasticity.
Thus, patients who undergo thread lifts will see immediate improvement in terms of lifting with gradual improvement of skin quality and firmness in the months following the procedure.
