For people noticing the first signs of skin sagging and deepening folds, lifting threads may be an effective alternative to surgery. The treatment helps improve the firmness of the face and neck, while remaining minimally invasive and providing long-lasting effects.
As we age, our skin changes. It becomes thinner, drier and less silky. This happens because the body gradually loses its ability to produce collagen, while elastic fibres begin to break down. As a result, the skin becomes more prone to wrinkles and sagging. In some cases, a traditional facelift could help, but many patients experiencing early skin laxity may benefit from a different solution, namely lifting and revitalising threads.
This treatment is ideal for individuals in whom folds and sagging in the mid-to-lower face and neck are beginning to appear, but who are not ready for surgical intervention with all its consequences. This is why thread treatments are often referred to as a non-surgical facelift.
Before the procedure, a medical consultation is carried out to determine whether there are any contraindications and to assess the results that may potentially be achieved. The procedure involves inserting threads under the skin in specific areas. Thanks to the use of local and/or infiltrative anaesthesia, the treatment is painless.
Threads used in aesthetic medicine are made of materials that do not trigger autoimmune reactions. Some are smooth, while others have barbs. Thread treatments offer many advantages and provide long-lasting results – from 1 year to 5 years. They may be used on both the face and the body.
The photos show the results of the procedure on a specific patient. Results may vary depending on individual characteristics, the number of sessions, the patient's compliance with post-treatment recommendations, and the skill and experience of the practitioner.
