Thread lifts: Facelift without surgery

Thread lifts: facelift without surgery

Until relatively recently, surgery was necessary to obtain the good results provided by the facelift. However, cosmetic surgery fortunately has advanced a lot and today great results can be obtained in our face without having to go through surgery thanks to the tensioning threads.  

What are tensioning threads

The tensioning threads are a technique of cosmetic surgery that basically serve to tighten the skin of the face and avoid flaccidity. They consist of filaments whose thickness resembles that of hair.

Polydioxanone is usually the material used for its manufacture, a biocompatible material that will be absorbed by our own body. Its effect lasts about a year, which is the time it takes for the tensioning threads to be absorbed by our body.

As for its placement, it is something relatively simple for a professional of aesthetic medicine. The tensioning threads are placed inside the skin, using a needle that stands out for its great fineness. Thanks to the tension, redensification and repositioning of the skin, we manage to mitigate, and much, the signs of aging, achieving a firmer and smoother skin.

Advantages of thread lifts compared to facelift

The main advantage of tensioning threads as an anti-aging treatment, compared to facelift is evident. It saves you from having to go through the operating room with all that entails: risks, post-operative, recovery times, specific cities, etc.

In addition, the tensioning threads, which are placed on an outpatient basis, do not leave scars, do not require preoperative or specific tests and the session to place them is relatively short.

On the other hand, thanks to the versatility of the tensioning threads they are not only used to end the signs of aging that the face presents, but also with those that are evident in other areas: abdomen, arms, chest, etc.

Speaking of the effects themselves, it should be noted that these elements act both in the superficial layer of the dermis and subcutaneously. Specifically, they do this by stimulating the body to produce a greater amount of two substances, collagen and elastin, which are responsible for making our face look great.

Who is the thread lift recommended to

Being a non-invasive treatment, practically anyone can have a facelift without surgery using the thread lift.

After applying the tensioning threads, only a couple of days are enough to resume the daily rhythm at work, student or personal level.

In general, they are usually recommended to those over 35 years of age, although the treatment can also be applied earlier if there is less definition of the facial oval or the first signs of aging such as wrinkles or flaccidity.

Final result of the best lifting without surgery

The results of the tensioning threads are seen almost immediately, appreciating a firmer and smoother skin. Results that can last up to three years.

Once the facelift technique without surgery is applied, we will see how the wrinkles in the forehead area disappear, as well as those around the eye area. On the other hand, the cheeks will rise a little giving a more symmetrical, fresh effect and highlighting the natural beauty of the person.

In short, if you are thinking of a non-invasive antiaging treatment, without surgery, and with great results, our recommendation is that you inform yourself with a specialist about the tensioning threads.
