Threads in cosmetology refer to a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure called a thread lift. This procedure uses dissolvable sutures (threads) to lift and tighten sagging skin, primarily on the face and neck.

How it works:

Insertion: Thin, barbed threads are inserted under the skin using a needle.

 Lifting: The barbs on the threads catch the skin and pull it back, creating a lifting effect.

 Collagen stimulation: The threads also trigger the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen production. This helps improve skin texture and firmness over time.

Benefits of thread lifts:

 Minimal downtime: Most people can return to their daily activities within a few days.

 Natural results: Thread lifts provide a subtle lift and rejuvenation without a dramatic, surgical look.

 Improved skin quality: Increased collagen production can lead to smoother, firmer skin.

 Cost-effective: Thread lifts are generally more affordable than surgical facelifts.

Common areas treated with thread lifts:

Cheeks

 Jowls

 Jawline

 Neck

 Brows

Important considerations:

Results are temporary: The effects of a thread lift typically last 1-2 years.

Not suitable for everyone: Thread lifts may not be appropriate for people with significant skin laxity or those who desire a more dramatic lift.

Potential side effects: Common side effects include bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness.

If you’re considering a thread lift, it’s important to consult with a qualified cosmetologist/dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine if it’s the right procedure for you.
