One of the most effective procedures in facial rejuvenation is thread lifting. The use of threads in cosmetology has its own indications:

• offset outer ends of the eyebrows;
• sagging face;
• pronounced manifestation of labial, nasolacrimal, and nasolabial folds.



For contraindications thread tightening should include:

• infectious diseases that are chronic;

Tightening with threads is distinguished by the following positive features from other procedures:

• low risk of trauma;
• no need for excision of excess skin;
• there is no need for incisions through the work of the needle through punctures;
• the use of local anesthesia;
• the absence of a long and difficult rehabilitation period, involving compression underwear, complex dressings and a hospital;
• exclusion of the appearance of scars;
• natural nature of rejuvenation;
• long enough effect;
• proven method.

Before deciding on such a procedure, it is necessary to consider in more detail what kind of threads for facelift can be.

Threads for suspenders are distinguished, first of all, by their structure:



• Absorbable filaments that can dissolve during the year, contributing to the production of collagen cells and elastin in the places where the filaments were implanted.
• Non-absorbable threads that are able to remain under the skin forever. The use of such threads eliminates the use of further peeling or radio wave lifting procedures.
• The threads combined.

According to its structure, the threads for suspenders are smooth and embossed, which provide for the presence of incisions, knots, and teeth. Such attachments are able to firmly hold under the skin.

What are the threads for facelift depending on the method of fixation?

There are threads of autonomous type and fixed. The ends of the last threads are usually fixed in the temporal zone, in the area of ​​the auricles. Threads thus relieve sagging skin and contribute to its tightening.

Today such options are very popular in the field of suspenders with the help of threads:

• Thread with notches. This material is a long and dense filaments that are able to shift the fabric up, thus tightening the skin of the face, removing sagging skin, as well as eliminating nasolabial folds. Notched threads have many options, which can differ by the location of the notches, their thickness and directionality.
• Spiral threads , which have another name - springs. Using them, it is possible to provide effective reinforcement and strengthening of the skin, tightening of sagging areas with the help of the action of the threads in a spring manner.
• 4D threads that are effective even in cases of thick skin or complex facial structure. Such threads can contribute to the smoothing of the nasolabial folds, the elimination of the bryles, the formation of pronounced cheekbones, the elimination of the second chin and the delineation of clear facial contours .
• Cosmetic threads , including absorbable and non-absorbable. The first option involves the use of threads such as threads from medical polypropylene, which are able to achieve special strength, threads of gold or platinum. And non-absorbable threads are able to sink deep enough and effectively tighten the surface and middle layers of the skin.

How many threads do you need for suspenders and which ones?

The procedure for tightening with the use of threads takes about 1.5-2 hours. The process of tightening involves the need for micro incisions in the temples. Thin special threads, as a rule, in the amount of 4 pieces on each side of the doctor lay under the skin. The direction of the filaments lies through the infraorbital folds, the nasolabial area and the chin zone.

So how many threads do you need for a suspender? In the general order of the threads for the procedure of tightening may require from 4 pieces to 60.

The total quantity required for the lifting procedure depends on the chosen area, the type of lifting, the variety and the material of the threads.

For example, if the tightening is carried out using linear mesoniths, it will take about 30 pieces, in the case of a tightening, about 5-7 threads are used with needle threads with notches .

Threads for suspenders with notches

Due to the notches, the threads are securely fixed under the skin, they help to strengthen the tissues. These threads are able to act as an anchor, clinging to the fabric and stimulate the production of collagen. Due to its strength, a notched thread allows for a more pronounced lifting effect.

Spiral threads for facelift

These threads are mainly used for holding the braces on thin skin, which is prone to less wrinkles and the appearance of wrinkles.

The thread in the form of a spiral has a purpose to create volumetric contouring, as well as the effective manifestation of a facelift.

Cosmetic threads for medical polypropylene suspenders, which are of the type of non-absorbable, have high properties of strength and resistance to external influence. Such threads are used with notches, teeth and other fastenings. In addition, the threads provide small cones. After fixation and complete installation of such a thread, the cone dissolves and is replaced by a structure of connective tissue.

Platinum and gold threads include in their structure the presence of a metal frame and a conductor. After installation, the conductor dissolves, and the metal, which, by the way, is hypoallergenic, remains fixed in the fabric.

Among absorbable cosmetic threads a special place in the procedure of tightening is occupied by threads based on polylactic acid. After falling under the skin for some time, such threads break up and are naturally excreted from the body. At this time, collagen and hyaluronic acid are synthesized in certain areas, which both maintain skin elasticity and create a rejuvenating effect.

The mesothreads, which are made of polydiaxone, are set at the hypodermal level. With the help of these threads, the skin is enriched with lactic acid, which increases the production of collagen cells.

4D threads for facelift

During the rejuvenation procedure with the help of such threads, the doctor inserts polyoxanone threads into the skin. 4D threads create an invisible and durable subcutaneous framework. During the procedure, flexible needles are used, which allow the structure to be formed in 4D at various depths. Experts say that the lifting effect is ultimately created not by the filaments themselves, but by the body's reaction, which results in the synthesis of collagen cells.

Thread Lift Procedure and Methods

The procedure of tightening the face with threads implies the introduction of threads under the skin through special punctures.

Depending on the type and type of thread, it is fixed in different ways under the skin and manifests its reaction.

The overall effect of the threads for the braces is to create a reliable and durable subcutaneous skeleton, due to which the skin is tightened.

The thread is evenly spaced and provides elasticity and smoothness, at the same time eliminating sagging areas and wrinkles.

Depending on the choice of threads for holding the braces, the effect can last for 2-5 years.

After holding the braces, experts recommend refraining from mimicking and chewing movements. You should also abandon the face and neck massage procedures during the month. For two months after the tightening, it is not possible to carry out peeling procedures, injections or procedures using hardware cosmetology techniques. It is necessary to be afraid of sunshine and mechanical influence from the environment.

Which threads are better for suspenders?

Reviews of patients about holding suspenders using threads often diverge. While some customers are satisfied with the tightening threads with notches, others complain of great swelling and pain. More and more recently refuse to hold suspenders using platinum and gold threads.

There is also an effective effect and effective result after the implantation of absorbable sutures in the absence of strongly pronounced skin imperfections or defects associated with an age indicator. Non-absorbable threads are most often used in complex cases, for example, if there is a deformed face contour.

The specialist will help you to understand which threads are better and also to choose a specific variant of the procedure for face lifting with threads and the required number of threads of a certain type, having previously studied the patient's skin and listened to his wishes.
