Does a thread lift have downtime? No?

In conclusion, after the thread lift procedureDowntime will occur.The downtime will be less than that for cutting cosmetic procedures. However, the downtime will be less than that of a cutting cosmetic procedure. We will explore the reasons for this in the thread lift procedure.
Thread lift is a procedure that aims to lift the face line.
Thread lift is a cosmetic treatment in which special threads are inserted into the subcutaneous tissue to lift up the area of concern. The threads have fine spikes to catch the subcutaneous tissue and lift the skin to improve sagging skin.
In addition, fibroblasts in the dermis layer of the skin are stimulated by the insertion of the thread. Fibroblasts are cells that produce collagen, elastin, and other components of skin elasticity and firmness. In other words, the thread lift procedure not only lifts the skin,Skin beautifying effects can also be expected.。
Reasons for Less Downtime for Thread Lift
The threads of a thread lift are inserted into the subcutaneous tissue from the temple area using a thin needle. The needle is then withdrawn and the threads remain in the subcutaneous tissue. Therefore,The only wound that can be made is a needle hole.The downtime tends to be short. Since no scalpel is used to incise the skin, downtime tends to be short. In addition, many clinics use threads that are absorbed into the body, so there is no need to remove the stitches.
Symptoms and progression likely to occur during thread lift downtime
Even though downtime for a thread lift is minimal, damage is still done to the subcutaneous tissue because of the insertion of the thread and needle. Therefore, it is important to remember that downtime itself will occur.
Next, we will introduce the symptoms that are likely to occur during the downtime of a thread lift and how it will progress. Please note that the degree and duration of downtime varies from person to person, so please consider it as a rough guide only.
Main symptoms during downtime of thread lift
The following is a summary of common symptoms that may occur during the downtime of a thread lift.
- swelling
- swelling
- internal hemorrhage
- Skin discomfort/pain, etc.
Swelling and swelling tend to occur due to the use of local anesthesia at the time of thread insertion. Those who are prone to internal bleeding may experience symptoms at the same time as swelling.
Also, since the threads are pulling up the subcutaneous tissue, you may feel pain and tugging until it blends in. Other risks include partial skin indentation and infection.
Downtime course of thread lift
What is the estimated downtime period for a thread lift,A few weeks to a monthIf there is no internal bleeding, it will settle down in about a week. Swelling and swelling will subside, and you will be able to feel the effects of the treatment. However, if internal bleeding occurs, it will take up to two weeks for the downtime to resolve.
Now let's look at the specific downtime process.
Immediately after treatment - 1 week
- Swelling, swelling, and internal bleeding around the affected area
- Strong tugging sensation.
1 to 2 weeks
- Swelling and internal bleeding subside.
- Areas of strong internal bleeding turn yellowish.
- After two weeks, the threads become more familiar and less uncomfortable.
3 weeks to 1 month
- Significant reduction in symptoms.
The progress presented is an example. Please be aware that there are individual differences.
NG Behavior During Downtime of Thread Lift
During the downtime of a thread lift, we have found that there is swelling and skin discomfort. Since the skin is in a damaged state, the following actions should be avoided
- Actions that promote blood circulation
- Touch the affected area
- open one's mouth wide
- dental treatment
Any activity that stimulates circulation after a thread lift procedure risks contributing to swelling and internal bleeding. Therefore, drinking alcohol, strenuous exercise, and saunas should be avoided. Massage and esthetic treatments are also not recommended, as touching the wound can cause pain.
The most important thing to keep in mind during the downtime of a thread lift is how to open your mouth. Opening your mouth wide may cause the risk of dislodging the cog or irritating the subcutaneous tissue, which may result in prolonged downtime. Please note that no dental work can be performed until one to two months have passed since the procedure.
If pain or swelling is a concern, cool the affected area with a coolant. Cooling time should be about 5 minutes per hour. It is also helpful to keep the upper body as upright as possible to prevent blood and water from collecting on the face. Here is a summary of when you can return to normal with daily activities.
| action | Approximate time of reopening |
| shower | Same day (from the neck down only) |
| take a bath | 3 days later |
| face-washing | Next day (only wipe-off is allowed on the same day) |
| having a shampoo | next day |
| make | next day |
| Drinking and smoking | 1 week later |
| Exercise and sauna | 1 week later |
| open one's mouth wide | 2 weeks later |
| Dental care and massage | 1 to 2 months later |
Please note that the timing of resumption is only a guideline; check with your doctor or nurse for details.
