Thread Lift (Thread Lifting)

Thread lift, or thread lifting, is a modern minimally invasive procedure for facial lifting and rejuvenation. The method involves the use of special biocompatible threads that are inserted under the skin to restore elasticity, eliminate wrinkles and sagging. This procedure provides a pronounced rejuvenating effect without the need for surgical intervention.

Advantages of Thread Lifting:

Quick results. The effect is noticeable immediately after the procedure and improves over the following months.
Minimal trauma. No need for prolonged rehabilitation.
Long-lasting effect. Results last up to 2 years.
Rejuvenation stimulation. Threads activate natural collagen synthesis, improving skin condition.

Facial thread lifting allows you to restore youth to your face, eliminate age-related changes and emphasize natural beauty without complex surgery.

Thread Lifting Stages

Preparation for the procedure
Before the procedure, a consultation is conducted during which the doctor evaluates the skin condition, determines correction zones and thread type. Preliminary examination may be recommended, including blood clotting tests.
Thread Lifting Procedure
Thread lifting is performed under local anesthesia. The doctor inserts threads through micro-punctures using thin needles or cannulas. The threads fix tissues in the desired position, forming the desired facial contour. The procedure duration is 30 to 60 minutes.
Recovery After the Procedure
After the procedure, slight redness and swelling are possible, which disappear within 3-5 days. For a week, intense physical activity, sauna and aggressive cosmetics should be avoided. The full effect of the procedure becomes noticeable after 2-4 weeks and lasts from 2 to 8 years, depending on the type of threads used.
