What Are Facial Threads?

Facial threads are a revolutionary cosmetic procedure that involves the use of bio-absorbable threads to lift and rejuvenate the skin. These threads are gently inserted under the skin, particularly targeting areas prone to sagging and aging, such as the nasolabial folds.

Additional Points:

• Material and Composition: The threads are made from a bio-absorbable material, similar to those used in medical sutures, ensuring they are safe and compatible with the body.
• Versatility: They can be used in various areas of the face, including the brow line, cheeks, jowls, and neck, providing a comprehensive anti-aging solution.
• Longevity: While the threads themselves dissolve over time, the collagen stimulation they induce continues to benefit the skin long after the procedure.
• Customizability: Each procedure is tailored to the individual’s facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring personalized results.
• Complementary to Other Treatments: Facial threads can be combined with other treatments like dermal fillers for enhanced effects.

How Do Facial Threads Work?

During the thread lifting procedure, these specially designed threads are placed under the skin using a local anaesthetic. Once in place, they act like a scaffold, providing an immediate lifting effect while also stimulating collagen production. This dual action not only lifts sagging skin but also improves skin tone and texture, contributing to a more youthful appearance.

• Mechanism of Action: Once inserted, the threads create a supportive lattice that lifts and tightens sagging skin.
• Collagen Stimulation: The presence of the threads triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen production, vital for maintaining youthful skin elasticity and tone.
• Dissolution Process: Over time, these bio-absorbable threads slowly dissolve, leaving behind the newly formed collagen structures.
• Procedure Time: Typically, the entire process takes about 60 minutes, with results visible almost immediately.
• Minimal Discomfort: Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure is relatively painless, with most patients comparing it to a mild rubber band snap sensation.

What Are the Benefits of Facial Threads?

Facial threads offer numerous benefits:

• Natural Looking Results: They provide a subtle yet noticeable lift, enhancing the natural contours of your face.
• Stimulating Collagen Production: They encourage the body to produce more collagen, which helps in maintaining a youthful skin tone.
• Minimally Invasive: Unlike a surgical facelift, thread lifts are less invasive, requiring only a local anaesthetic and typically taking about 60 minutes.
• Reduced Recovery Time: Compared to traditional surgery, the recovery time is significantly shorter, with fewer side effects such as swelling, redness, and bruising.
• Immediate Results: The lifting effect is visible immediately after the procedure, offering instant gratification.
• Low Risk of Side Effects: Compared to a surgical facelift, the risk of side effects like swelling, redness, and bruising is significantly lower.
• Long-Term Improvements: The stimulated collagen production leads to continuous improvement in skin quality and firmness over time, effectively slowing down the aging process.

Am I a Candidate for Facial Threads?

When considering facial thread treatment, it’s essential to determine if you’re an ideal candidate. Here are additional key points to consider:

Age Factor: While there’s no specific age limit, individuals typically between 30 and 60 years old, experiencing early signs of aging, often see the most benefit.

Skin Elasticity: Good skin tone is crucial. The treatment is most effective on skin that isn’t excessively loose.

Health Status: Good overall health is important. Those with certain medical conditions or taking medications that affect skin healing may need to discuss alternative options.

Realistic Expectations: Understanding what the procedure can and cannot do is vital. It’s designed for subtle enhancements, not dramatic alterations.

Previous Cosmetic Procedures: If you’ve had other treatments like dermal fillers or Botox, inform your practitioner, as this may impact your suitability for facial threads.

What to Expect During a Facial Thread Procedure

The procedure is relatively quick, usually completed within 60 minutes. Patients often describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap. The procedure involves several steps to ensure optimal results and comfort:

1. 1. Consultation: An initial assessment to discuss your goals, examine your skin, and plan the treatment.
   2. Preparation: The target area is cleaned, and a local anaesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort.
   3. Insertion of Threads: Using fine needles, bio-absorbable threads are carefully placed under the skin.
   4. Adjustment for Lift: Once the threads are in place, they’re gently pulled to achieve the desired lifting effect.
   5. Completion: The procedure typically lasts about 60 minutes, after which you can return to most of your daily activities.

Our skilled practitioners ensure the process is as comfortable as possible, with minimal side effects.

Facial Thread Recovery and Results

Post-procedure care and outcomes include:

• Immediate Results: A visible lifting effect is noticeable right after the procedure.
• Collagen Stimulation: Over the following months, stimulated collagen production further enhances skin tone and texture.
• Recovery Time: Expect mild swelling, redness, and potential bruising, which usually subsides within a few days to a week.
• Longevity of Results: The lifting effect can last for several years, depending on individual aging processes and lifestyle factors.
• Post-Care Guidance: Avoid strenuous activities for a short period and follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by the clinic.

Cost of Facial Threads

The cost of facial thread treatment varies depending on individual needs and the extent of the treatment. It’s often considered a more cost-effective alternative to a surgical facelift or dermal filler treatments.

• Number of Threads Used: The total cost is often influenced by the number of threads required for your desired results. More extensive treatments involving more threads will be priced higher.
• Practitioner’s Expertise: The experience and qualifications of the practitioner performing the treatment can affect the cost. Highly skilled professionals may charge more for their expertise.
• Geographical Location: Prices can vary depending on the location of the clinic. Clinics in metropolitan areas may have higher rates.
• Treatment Complexity: Specific facial areas, like lifting sagging skin around the jawline or addressing deeper nasolabial folds, may require more intricate work, influencing the cost.
• Follow-Up Treatments: While initial results are significant, some clients opt for follow-up treatments to maintain or enhance their appearance, which should be factored into the overall cost.
