Thread lift
(thread lifting)

In modern cosmetology, where everyone strives for naturalness and safety, thread lifting acts as a golden mean between hardware methods and plastic surgery. This method, also known as thread lifting, combines progressiveness and speed of action. The threads used in the procedure not only help create a “tightening” effect, but also stimulate collagen production and provide a longer lasting effect. Unlike many hardware methods, thread lifting offers deeper and more pronounced rejuvenation.

Benefits of the procedure

The advantages of thread lifting include:

  • Natural result. Thread lifting emphasizes individuality while preserving natural facial features
  • Painlessness and low trauma. Under local anesthesia, the patient experiences almost no discomfort
  • Efficiency for different age groups. From age 25 onwards, thread lifting can be adapted to the needs of the skin
  • Localization of the lift. The doctor solves specific problems, be it crow's feet or wrinkles on the forehead
  • No visible traces of intervention. With the right technique, there is no risk of leaving scars or marks
  • Long-term effect. Results last from 2 to 3 years, depending on individual characteristics
  • Quick rehabilitation. The procedure does not require a long recovery time

When using high-quality materials and advanced technologies, such as the three-stage Swiss Luxeface & Luxebody method, the likelihood of complications is minimal. This non-surgical rejuvenation program has earned the trust of cosmetologists thanks to scientific research and successful practice in many countries. In addition, the threads stimulate the formation of collagen, which provides a long-term care effect.

Indications and contraindications

Over the years, the skin loses its elasticity, which leads to the appearance of facial and age wrinkles, sagging, and changes in facial contours. After 25 years, many people notice the first signs of aging.

Thread lifting is prescribed in the presence of the following defects:

  • Wrinkles and loss of firmness on the face.
  • Insufficiently clear oval of the face, formation of jowls.
  • Pronounced nasolabial folds.
  • The appearance of a double chin or eyelid ptosis.
  • Scars, stretch marks or cellulite on various parts of the body.
  • Changes in the shape and firmness of the breast.

Despite the advantages of thread lifting, there are a number of conditions and circumstances under which the procedure is prohibited. These include:

  • Dermatological diseases or infectious processes in the active phase.
  • Problems with hematopoiesis or blood clotting.
  • Disturbances in the cardiovascular system or diagnosed diabetes.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Presence of neoplasms.
  • Tendency to form keloid scars.

Before deciding to undergo the procedure, consultation with a specialist is necessary. He will assess the condition of your skin, take into account all possible risks and make recommendations that suit your individual needs.

Modern materials for the procedure

Thread face lifting is one of the most popular and effective procedures in the field of aesthetic medicine. The key question that concerns patients: what materials are facial threads made from?

There are also non-absorbable threads, but their use is already considered a surgical intervention. Previously, gold and platinum threads were especially popular, but later most cosmetologists began to give preference to polypropylene threads.

When choosing a technique and material, the price of thread face lifting may vary. Cost should not be the deciding criterion: the main thing is safety and effectiveness.

The pros and cons of thread lifting depend on the type of threads, the experience of the specialist and the individual characteristics of the patient. Based on the needs and expectations from the procedure, the cosmetologist selects the optimal threads for the face.

According to numerous reviews, face lift threads provide a lasting rejuvenation effect. This is achieved not only due to physical attachment, but also by stimulating collagen production. Even after the threads are dissolved or removed, the improved skin condition remains.

Before choosing a thread face lift, you need to consider not only its advantages, but also possible disadvantages. It is also important to ensure that there are no contraindications to the procedure. All the pros and cons of using mesothreads for a facelift will be described in detail by a cosmetologist.

Threads for lifting the face contour come in different types. The safest are absorbable mesothreads made from the following materials:

  • Polydioxanone (PDO) A synthetic material that safely dissolves in the body, turning into water and carbon dioxide molecules. Polydioxanone threads usually dissolve within 6-10 months.
  • Polycaprolactone Hypoallergenic material, which is used not only for tightening, but also for stimulating collagen production. It decomposes within 2-3 years, turning into harmless molecules.
  • Polylactic acid A material that is usually used in the initial stages of skin aging. It decomposes in an average of 3 months and is perfectly compatible with the human body.
  • Коллаген Чистый материал на основе тутового шелкопряда. Используется для коррекции овала лица, устранения брылей, улучшения вида скул. Рекомендуется курс из 2-3 процедур. Конечный результат заметен через 2-3 месяца.

General information

Main risks during thread lifting

Let's consider the key points related to the possible disadvantages and risks of this procedure.

  • Feelings of discomfort. During the process of inserting threads into the deep layers of the skin, some patients experience unpleasant sensations or even short-term pain. The degree of pain may vary depending on the individual characteristics of the body and the qualifications of the specialist
  • The appearance of hematomas and edemas. Their presence and severity are often associated with the characteristics of blood circulation and a predisposition to the formation of hematomas. In most cases, such symptoms disappear on their own within a week
  • Quality of materials used. The threads must be of high quality, otherwise there is a risk of their rupture, which will require additional intervention
  • Possible asymmetry. Incorrect distribution or fixation of the threads can lead to temporary or permanent asymmetry of the facial features. The experience and competence of the doctor are especially important here

To avoid risks, it is important to choose a proven specialist and a clinic with a good reputation. When choosing a cosmetologist, do not forget to check whether he has the appropriate certificate. If the doctor does not have enough experience, it may be worth contacting another specialist.

Features and effectiveness of thread lifting

The thread lifting procedure in cosmetology has become a revolutionary alternative to surgical interventions. Its main task is to correct age-related changes in facial skin.

There are several types of threads, the most popular are collagen threads and threads for supporting certain areas of the face, such as threads under the eyes. The choice of material depends on the desired result and the anatomical features of the patient. When making a decision, it is worth looking at photographs of other patients, which show the results of thread installation in the face before and after.

To begin with, the patient is recommended to undergo a preliminary examination by a cosmetologist. At this stage, the specialist determines which threads are more suitable and gives recommendations on how to prepare for the procedure. It involves temporarily stopping the use of drugs containing aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamins C and E.

The facial thread procedure itself in cosmetology includes several stages:

  • After local anesthesia, the skin is treated with an antiseptic
  • At the second stage, the cosmetologist inserts mesothreads using pinpoint punctures or small incisions
  • The final stage involves applying a mask for quick rehabilitation and consultation on care

To correctly predict the effectiveness of threads, we will divide their use into three categories: preventive is used in patients aged 30-40 with initial signs of ptosis, acting up to 2 years or even longer; therapeutic is suitable for the age of 40-50, when soft tissues begin to shift, with an effect of 1.5 years; for patients aged 65 and older, who have skin problems and atrophic processes, threads can serve only 2-3 months.

Kogi or Aptos threads: which is better

When choosing a cosmetic procedure using threads, many questions arise. Among them - which threads are better to use for the procedure: Aptos or Kogi. Both technologies have their advantages and application features. We suggest comparing them by material and structure:

  • Aptos. They can be either absorbable or non-absorbable. This gives a wider range of applications depending on the task and the patient's age.
  • Kogi. These are Korean threads made of biodegradable fiber. Their main feature is the notches directed in one direction. This helps to better fix the tissue. Over time (about 1-1.5 years), these threads dissolve, leaving behind a frame of fibrous tissue.

Under 40 years, especially with minor age-related changes, cosmetologists often recommend using absorbable threads, which include Kogi. After 40 years, many specialists prefer to use non-absorbable threads, and here Aptos will be the optimal solution.

If complex correction is required, for example, with strong age-related changes or asymmetry, non-absorbable Aptos threads may be more preferable. On the other hand, Cogi do not require cosmetic incisions and sutures even when using a large number of threads.

Recovery after thread lifting

After the lifting, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations to maximize the duration and quality of the effect:

  1. Abstain from hot food and drinks for a month
  2. For 3-4 weeks, avoid visiting baths, saunas, and the beach
  3. After the procedure, two visits to a specialist are recommended - on the 7th and 14th days. This will allow the doctor to assess the dynamics of recovery and, if necessary, adjust the care
  4. During the first two weeks, you should avoid sleeping on your stomach and minimize facial activity
  5. During the first month after the lifting, you should refrain from any salon procedures, especially those that involve heating the skin

After thread lifting, it is necessary to gently cleanse the skin, regularly moisturize it and protect it from direct sunlight. Such daily care will help to maintain the effect of the procedure for a long time.

When I first thought about hair transplantation, I had many doubts and questions. I heard various stories - from successful to not so much. However, my intuition told me that it could change my life for the better, and I decided to have this procedure. The process was not as scary as I imagined. Alexander Gulyaev did everything carefully and thoroughly. I felt like I was in good hands. The first few days after the operation were a little uncomfortable, but this is completely natural. At first, I came to Alexander Gulyaev for injections once a week, then once a month, once every 2 months. And now, almost a year later, I look in the mirror and see a completely different person. Not just new hair, but a huge boost of confidence. The smell of fresh air for my well-being! Who would have thought that a hair transplant could be not only a physical but also an emotional transformation? I would advise everyone who is thinking about such a procedure to take a step forward. It is really worth it!

Very good clinic, wonderful, friendly staff! I had an appointment with Gulyaev Alexander Valerievich and was extremely satisfied! We communicated with Alexander Valerievich more than once during the initial appointment and further consultations. Since I am a very scrupulous person, it was difficult for me to choose a clinic for transplantation. Alexander Valerievich was always friendly, explained everything clearly and in detail. The procedure itself was stress-free, calm, with conversation. Visually looked 15 years younger

I turned to Aleksandr Valerievich for help with eyebrow transplantation. Appearance is very important for women and the choice of a doctor was very tough. But, after the initial consultation, I had no doubts. He explained everything in great detail, reasonably relieved my fears, and also answered my questions after the procedure. The result exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Aleksandr Valerievich!

Thanks to the reviews on the site, I went to have surgery with Ivan Aleksandrovich. I confirm every kind word about him. He is a great professional in his field. The suture looks very neat and aesthetically pleasing, he preserved the shape and volume of the mammary gland, despite the fact that he had to remove a fairly large part. The doctor inspires calm, confidence and a positive attitude. Ivan Aleksandrovich is very caring towards patients. You will definitely not feel embarrassed or afraid. Everything is very comfortable, professional and somehow very sensitive in a human way. A great doctor and person!

I had bald spots on my bangs since childhood, and about 5 years ago I thought about a transplant, read about different methods and, as a result, the results, recently hair transplantation in Turkey has begun to gain popularity - I read, weighed the pros and cons. I analyzed the market in Moscow, found a clinic on recommendation where Alexander works, held a meeting - received detailed information and a description of my case. One clinic indicated 3500 FUE, another 4800 grafts. Alexander indicated that there is no point in doing more than 2800 grafts (FUE), i.e. the issue of profit and earnings was not in the first place. The choice was obvious. The operation went off without a hitch, Alexander masterfully conjured over the head, the assistant girls constantly encouraged and communicated. From the very first week, regular relief of the patient's condition and well-being, ozone weekly, after 3 months they began to inject vitamins. And the complexity of my case is that the hair is light (blond), thin and low hair density. After 5 months the result is super: clear contour, density, absence of any hints of hair loss of transplanted hair. I definitely recommend it!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my doctor, Alexander Valerievich Gulyaev, for the excellent result! I came to him with a problem of hair loss. 3,000 grafts were transplanted. The result after 5 months was already amazing! Many thanks for the professionalism in the operation and advice on maintaining the result. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the doctor is always in touch and, either himself or through the clinic staff, always answered all questions.

Проходила операцию по поводу фиброаденомы молочной железы у Ивана Александровича, и он впечатлил меня на всех этапах: от диагностики и консультации до подготовки к операции и внимательного наблюдения после неё. Его аккуратность в перевязках, готовность помочь и внимание к восстановлению — это настоящий эталон для врача. Операция была проведена настолько профессионально и ювелирно, что иногда даже другие врачи не могут сразу найти шов! Огромная благодарность! Если вы выбираете врача, могу смело рекомендовать Ивана Александровича.

Уважаемый Шерали Раджабалиевич! Огромное спасибо за быстрое, четкое и безболезненное удаление фиброаденомы из груди. Все прошло очень быстро и психологически комфортно, после операции я даже не потребовала обезболивающих. Вы внимательно и чутко отнеслись к моим просьбам, и я безмерно благодарна за то, как гладко прошел весь процесс. Шов получился аккуратный, ровный и зажил без проблем. Два разных врача на перевязках сделали комплимент вашему мастерству! Желаю вам всего наилучшего и удачи в вашей работе!

Рак правой молочной железы — операцию проводил Иван Александрович. Это действительно врач от Бога, с золотыми руками! Работа на высшем уровне, швов почти не видно, все сделано ювелирно. Он очень внимателен, даже когда был уставшим после нескольких операций, приходил в палату по несколько раз, чтобы узнать, как я себя чувствую. Желаю, чтобы таких врачей было больше!
