Facial Rejuvenation with Threads

In the field of facial lifting, facial rejuvenation, or non-surgical facelift, we have one of the newest advances in facial lifting or thread-based facial rejuvenation.

With aging, the skin loses its natural youthful qualities, such as elasticity, radiance, and vitality due to the decline in collagen and elastin production by the body.

The loss of connective muscle tissue accompanied by sagging causes the skin to gradually fall, creating an appearance of aging and fatigue.

The current trend in seeking anti-aging treatments to renew and rejuvenate the skin, restoring the smoothness and glow of a youthful face, has led to the development of new technologies and facial anti-aging techniques.

Through years of practice as specialists in aesthetic medicine, we present a technique to achieve these goals: thread lifting.

Facial rejuvenation with threads or non-surgical lifting using biological threads is an effective technique to achieve a younger-looking face.

On the Internet, there is a certain amount of information, some correct, some not, about magic lifts, thread lifts, and magical threads, among others.

The problem with this information is that it does not specify the applications, the type of thread, and rather than clarifying concepts, it confuses and creates false expectations around this treatment.

Some websites even go as far as making generic critiques about all types of threads without considering the particularities and methods of their use, showing a lack of deep knowledge instead of specifying details of the various types of facial threads.

Besides the type of facial thread used, the technique applied also influences the effectiveness and results achieved.

What types of tension facial threads exist?

There are several types of facial threads used in thread-based facial rejuvenation and techniques for their correct and effective application.

Both factors are equally important to achieve the desired facial rejuvenation results, in conjunction with a deep understanding of skin biology.

In some cases, threads can lift tissue more than energy-based devices.

Some threads, along with techniques for their application, may be more appropriate than others, depending on the patient’s skin and desired outcome.

Some of the most commonly used facial threads in thread-based facial rejuvenation:

Non-absorbable threads: these threads are made of a biocompatible material that is not absorbed, called polypropylene.

This type of thread has long been used in cardiac surgical procedures.

Currently, non-absorbable threads are used in body contouring procedures such as buttock lifting, where a permanent result can be obtained.

Absorbable threads: these are used to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin and are usually placed creating a mesh, used to restore the skin’s smoothness and radiance.

They are made of polydioxanone, a biocompatible material that the body fully absorbs after a certain time.

Advantages of absorbable facial threads:

Absorbable sutures generate fewer complications.

The amount of facial lift or facelifting is more predictable because the tissue is physically lifted.

Recovery time is minimal.

The facial lift or facelift procedure with absorbable threads can be performed under local anesthesia.

Facelift with absorbable threads is less expensive than surgical facial rejuvenation or facelift.

Russian Threads:

This is a special suture made of a biocompatible and absorbable material.

The effects last even after the threads are absorbed.

The technique for these threads involves inserting them under the skin and tying them at the top of the ear, maintaining skin tension to create lifting without surgery.

To lift the skin, aesthetic doctors implant threads subcutaneously.

When pulled in the opposite direction, the thread anchors hold in the adipose tissue, increasing resistance to traction while suspended in the dermis and overlying tissue.

This procedure produces a fibrous adhesion capsule that helps solidify the suture anchoring long-term.

It has been shown that the fibrotic reaction increases local collagen production in the skin. PDO and PLLA are known collagen stimulators and are considered stimulants to generate long-term benefits in facial rejuvenation.
