What is face thread lifting?
Thread lift is an alternative to a non-permanent solution and those who are afraid to go under a knife for face lift. Besides, surgical face lift can only be done by a surgeon and it is a more permanent or semi-permanent procedure.
Thread lifting is a procedure where temporary sutures are used to “lift” a certain area of the face due to aging or other factors that cause sagging of the skin. Instead of removing the patient’s loose facial skin surgically, this technique helps to lift a certain area of the face by applying traction to skin with threads.
How it works?
Thread lifting nowadays is a very common and highly sought after procedure but must be done by experienced and skilled practitioners. Thread lifting continues to gain popularity in the Aesthetic Industry for its ability to lift, refresh and rejuvenate the skin. It works by anchoring a few layers of skin to a layer called SMAS aka ligaments of the face by the hooks of the thread.
What are the benefits?
Unlike the traditional face lift surgery, thread lift is a safe, minimally invasive, non-surgical, lesser risk and natural skin lifting procedure.
One of the most beneficial part of thread, is the ability to deliver an instant lift for aging or saggy skin. Therefore, after the procedure, you will look a few years younger!
Besides, the thread used is made of an absorbable material that can trigger the stimulation of collagen remodelling and produce and longer lifting effect will last for years even after it is fully dissolved. The produced collagen fills the gaps in sagging skin and thus restore a more youthful elasticity to your face.
Who is suitable for the treatment?
Traditionally it is usually recommended for those who have severe laxity and sagginess of the skin and for those who do not want to go under the knife for a face lift. Thread lift is a less invasive solution who wants a more natural lift compared to a surgical lift.
