In the field of aesthetic medicine, the facelift has become one of the most popular procedures to combat the signs of ageing and restore facial freshness.
However, not everyone is willing to undergo surgery, either for fear of the scalpel, the recovery time or the unnatural results that some procedures can
produce.
This is where thread lifts are presented as a natural and effective alternative to
traditional facelifts. It is a minimally invasive treatment that consists of the
insertion of fine, biocompatible threads under the skin, which act as a support to
tighten and lift facial tissues, thus reducing flaccidity and wrinkles.
How do tensor threads work?
Tightening threads are made of biocompatible materials such as polydioxanone (PDO) or polylactic acid (PLA), which are gradually reabsorbed by the body over a period of 6 to 12 months. As the threads are reabsorbed, they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for skin firmness and elasticity.
The thread lift procedure is an outpatient procedure and is performed under local anaesthesia. The specialist inserts the threads in strategic points of the face, following the direction of the lines of expression and tension of the skin.
Once in place, the threads tighten the skin and redefine the facial contours, giving a more youthful and natural appearance.
Benefits of tensor threads
Tightening threads offer a wide range of benefits for facial rejuvenation, among which the following stand out:
- Immediate and lasting lifting effect: The results of the treatment are visible from the first moment and can last up to two years, depending on the type of thread used and the characteristics of the patient.
- Minimally invasive: No surgery is required, so there are no incisions, scars or bleeding.
- Quick and comfortable procedure: The placement of the threads is performed in a single session lasting approximately 30 minutes.
- Rapid recovery: The patient can return to normal life immediately after treatment.
- Natural results: Tightening threads provide a rejuvenated and natural look, without distorting facial features.
- Versatile: It can be applied to different areas of the face, such as the upper third (forehead, eyebrows and eyelids), the middle third
- Tightening and redensifying effect: In addition to tightening the skin, tensor threads stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which improves the texture and density of the skin.
- Combinable with other treatments: Tightening threads can be combined with other aesthetic medicine procedures, such as botox or hyaluronic acid, for even more comprehensive results.
In which cases are tensor threads indicated?
Thread lifts are an excellent option for people looking to combat the following
signs of ageing:
- Facial flaccidity: Loss of tone and elasticity of the facial skin.
- Wrinkles and expression lines: Fine lines, nasolabial folds, crow’s feet and frown lines.
- Loss of definition of the facial oval: sagging of the skin in the cheek, jaw and jowl area.
- Lack of volume: Loss of volume in cheekbones, dark circles under the eyes and cheeks.
What are the contraindications of thread tightening?
Thread lifts are generally safe and well tolerated by most patients. However, there are some contraindications that should be considered prior to treatment,
such as:
- Autoimmune diseases.
- Skin infections.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Allergies to yarn materials.
- Blood coagulation disorders.
Thread lifts vs. facelifts: which one to choose?
The choice between thread lift and facelift will depend on the needs and expectations of each patient. In general, thread lifts are a good option for people who are looking for a minimally invasive treatment with natural and long-lasting results, and who do not have severe facial sagging.
Facelifts, on the other hand, are a more suitable option for patients with significant facial sagging who are looking for more dramatic and long-lasting results.
