Everything You Need To Know About Thread Lifts

Threadlifts are a short procedure that targets all the signs of aging on the lower face. This procedure is based on subcutaneous placement of PDO threads. 

Rather than removing a patient's loose facial skin through surgery, the clinician would suspend it. The skin is pulled back slightly and the face is then subsequently lifted and tightened. The thread lifts help in combating aging. 

Advantages of Thread Lifts

• Quick recovery

One of the greatest advantages of thread lifts is that the recovery process is easy. Do you know that there is no downtime? Many resume there usual activities post-procedure.

• Low risk

The risk of thread lift going wrong is extremley low. This is because it is noninvasive. TWith virtually no risk of bruising, scarring or any other complication(s) when a thread lift is carried out. 

• Easier to perform

One of the advantages of  thread lifts is that they are fairly easy to perform; when compared to other kinds of surgeries like facelift surgery, surgeons find it easier to do thread lifts. Also, thread lifts are more affordable than other forms of treatment.

• Visible changes

When a patient performs thread lifts, it is very easy to see the results. In a procedure of thread lifts, the face is lifted by few millimeters. This makes the end results natural. It is mostly recommended for those dealing with mild to moderate. 

• Older patients

Thread lifts are very advantageous for older patients who cannot undergo surgery due to medical reasons. Most people who are ineligible to go for surgery opt for thread lifts.

Disadvantage

• The major disadvantage of thread lifts is that the procedure does not last. Facelift surgery, for example, can last for a decade but thread lifts in most cases,  do not last beyond three years.

The thread lifts procedures

There are two major procedures of thread lifts approved by the FDA. These two procedures are more of a similar mechanism of action. Their results are always great when done. However, there are differences between the two procedures. 

• The NovaThreads

This procedure makes use of sutures that are derived from PDO. PDO is a biocompatible material. It is majorly designed for safe re-absorption by the body. The result of the NovaThreads will be visible for like one year or more after the treatment has been done.

• Silhouette InstaLift

This procedure also depends on biocompatible temporary sutures for lifting face. The main difference between Silhouette InstaLift and NovaThreads is this; Silhouette focuses on lifting the skin rather than stimulating the collagen production. 

Silhouette InstaLift contains a number of sutures that are interspersed with tiny cones that are adept for grabbing a tissue.
