Tensile thread lifts are an excellent solution to improve the tightness of the skin that has started sagging and showing wrinkles. The process involves tightening the facial skin in order to return to a smoother rejuvenated appearance.
The threads are made of a long-lasting re-absorbable material which deliver effective results without the need to undergo surgery or uncomfortable recovery times.
Another benefit is that the threads also stimulate collagen production, which decreases over the passage of time and leads to the appearance of wrinkles and premature signs of aging.
What does it mean?
It is a treatment that is generally carried out in two phases and uses:
Monofilament threads:Technique that involves placing multiple monofilament thread tensioners in strategic positions to create a support network for the tissues.
It is minimally painful and can be done by using topical anaesthetic cream.
The procedure is short in duration, depending on the patient's needs and is commonly used in the double chin, neck wrinkles, nasolabial folds, crow's feet, and jawline.
Spiculated threads: A thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that encourages cells to interconnect and serves as a channel to enhance the production of elastic fibres.
Therefore, thanks to improved collagen and elastin levels, facial sagging and expression lines are reduced.
Threads are inserted under the dermis through a very thin cannula and the process is completely pain-free.
The results are much more natural than in a facelift and can be seen immediately, with the thread being invisible to the eye.
The result is smoother, firmer skin and a more youthful appearance.
The effects last between 12 and 24 months.
It is common to notice some post-treatment inflammation. Therefore, it is recommended to apply local cold for the first 24-48 hours and avoid sweating as much as possible.
