A thread facelift is convenient, less invasive than traditional facelifts, designed for people experiencing early signs of aging, such as minor facial sagging. This is an innovative facelift procedure that can be performed in just one or two hours, often without anesthesia. During a thread facelift, the Doctor inserts thin threads into the face through tiny entry points made in the targeted area.
These threads attach to the skin tissue and are then pulled back to lift and smooth the face. Almost immediately, treated areas will be raised slightly, eliminating sagging and giving patients a rejuvenated appearance. Because patients usually remain fully conscious during the procedure, they can approve the look of their thread lift while the doctor works. Once the threads are knotted, they become hidden within the skin itself, and any scarring that results will be virtually invisible.
The price of a thread lift depends on how many areas will be treated and the number of threads required for the procedure. There is no cutting, no stitching, and no surgery. Anyone could not even see where the threads or injections were inserted into your skin. You can see results after a month of this treatment and the complete result may become visible within or after 3 months. Threads will gradually dissolve over six months, but because of their collagen-boosting effects, you may continue to see some results for up to a year. The initial lifting effect can fade in as little as six months because the power of the thread is limited.
