What is a Thread Lift? Basic Knowledge and Effects
What exactly is a thread lift? First, let's review the mechanism and effects of a thread lift.
Structure and Features of Thread Lift
A thread lift is a procedure in which special threads are inserted into the face to lift the skin. The threads used in a thread lift have spikes attached to them,Lift by lifting subcutaneous tissueThe system is structured in such a way that the skin can be lifted according to the individual's needs. The thread lift is characterized by its ability to adjust the degree of skin lift to meet individual needs, as well as its relatively short downtime due to the non-incisional nature of the procedure.
Difference from a conventional facelift
There are two types of facelift procedures: thread lift and incision lift. An incision lift is a method of lifting by inserting a scalpel around the face and neck and pulling up the skin and muscles. It has the advantage of lasting longer than a thread lift, but the incision involves risks such as bleeding, infection, and scarring. On the other hand, a thread lift uses a thin needle, so there are fewer scars, and it is easier for first-time patients to undergo the procedure.

Detailed explanation of the duration of thread lift
Although thread lifts last shorter than traditional incisional lifts, they are an easy cosmetic procedure to undergo for the first time because there is less risk of bleeding and other problems. Let's take a closer look at how long a thread lift lasts.
Approximate general duration
How long does a typical thread lift last?6 months to 2 yearsIt is said that The reason for the wide range in duration is that it depends on the type of threads used, the constitution, and other factors. It is difficult to obtain semi-permanent results from a single thread lift, but it is possible to continue to approach sagging skin through regular maintenance. Maintenance treatment can be tailored to the skin condition at the time of the procedure and can help prevent sagging.
Factors affecting duration
If you are going to have a thread lift procedure, you want the effects to last a long time, but be aware that the following actions can affect the duration of the thread lift.
- Inappropriate number of threads
- Massage of the treatment area
- open one's mouth wide
If the number of threads is small, a large load is placed on each thread, and the cog is more likely to come off. It is important to use the appropriate number of threads to maintain the effect. Massaging the affected area shortly after the procedure or opening the mouth wide can also reduce the effectiveness of the thread lift. Therefore, it is best to refrain from doing so for about one to two months after the procedure.
How to care for long-lasting effects
To maintain the effects of a thread lift as long as possible, there are several ways to
- lie on one's back
- Do not irritate the face
- Receive regular maintenance
Immediately after the procedure, the threads are not stable. If you sleep on your side or on your stomach in this state, there is a possibility that the threads will shift due to pressure on the face. The prognosis is more secure if you sleep on your back for about 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure. Also, refrain from doing anything that may irritate the face, such as rubbing it hard. And it is important to undergo regular maintenance for thread lifts. Making adjustments as needed, such as adding threads to areas where sagging is a concern, will help prolong the effects of the thread lift.
