What is thread suspension face lifting?
Thread suspension face lifting is a procedure where specially designed threads are inserted under the skin in order to lift and firm the sagging facial tissues.
The threads and the whole method are the result of Belgian-French laboratory development in cooperation with plastic surgeons. The threads and the needles are produced entirely in France.
This treatment is minimally invasive. It is performed under local anaesthesia and does not require large incisions, which means an absence of visible scars. The result is a natural, rejuvenated look without a change in the facial expression immediately after the treatment.
The thread suspension face lifting can be combined with the latest surgical methods such as mini liposuction in the jowl, which minimizes damage to the tissue and maximizes the final effect.
Thread suspension benefits
- Natural look: Rejuvenation without a change in the facial expression.
- No scars: The treatment takes place without long scars, thus eliminating an emergence of scars.
- Long-lasting effect: The results last for several years.
- Reversibility: The threads can be removed if needed.
Who is this treatment suitable for?
Thread suspension face lifting is ideal for persons from the age of 30 who look for a minimally invasive method to improve sagging skin of the face and a natural, rejuvenated look immediately, without classical surgery.
This method is also suitable for clients who find a surgery problematic due to general anaesthesia:
- For smokers and non-smokers because the postoperative healing phase is eliminated
- For pale and dark skin without exception because a risk of keloid scars is eliminated
- For clients who have already undertaken surgical facelift in the past
- For clients who want to undertake surgical facelift in the future
Thread & Lift® will help with:
- Lifting and firming sagging skin on the face, neck and other parts of the body.
- Reducing wrinkles and signs of ageing without the need of invasive surgery.
- Restoring natural contours of the face such as the cheek area, jaws or eyebrows.
- Improving skin elasticity, thus achieving a more youthful look.
- Minimizing tissue damage compared with classical surgical methods.
- Long-lasting natural results, which adapt to the client's individual needs
The Thread & Lift® thread suspension face lifting offers an effective solution for lifting saggy tissues and returning them to the natural position. This method utilizes advanced Infinite-Thread® technology combined with a precise application methodology, which is individually adapted to the needs of each client. The result is natural rejuvenation with a long-lasting effect, without the need of surgery and with minimum recovery.
The Infinite-Thread® – where is it different from standard lifting threads?
There are several differences. Firstly, the lifting threads are made of self-absorbing materials (most commonly polylactic acid and polydioxanone) so that the material will get completely absorbed within several months after application.
Conversely, our Infinite-Thread® is made of biocompatible material such as polyester (used as heart sutures) and strong medical silicone (a reference material for medical supplies such as prostheses). These materials are neutral – they do not get absorbed by the body, no scars develop around them and are exceptionally resistant. As a result, the Infinite-Thread® does not lose tension = it does not lengthen with changes of bodily temperature or heavy mechanical stress.
This is very important for a long-lasting effect of the treatment. The loss of results following a thread lifting is usually caused by three factors:
- Absorption of threads by the body (the body dissolves and absorbs the thread).
- Lengthening of the lifting thread (the thread becomes too elastic).
- Insufficient fixation of the thread hooks into surrounding tissues.
Each Infinite-Thread® has more than 800 hooks of a patented shape along its length, which provide 60 % higher tensile efficiency compared with other hooks used for lifting threads. This extremely powerful tensile ability allows the thread to remain in the position where the plastic surgeon has implanted it, thus securing optimum results over a long period.
Thread & Lift is an advanced method. Therefore, only a plastic surgeon trained and certified in this method is allowed to perform lifting using the Infinite-Thread®. The operation always takes place in an operating theatre, in a sterile environment. Standard lifting threads can be applied by a dermatologist in a standard surgery.
What makes the Infinite-Thread® unique is the fact that it can be removed without any consequences anytime if needed. Here too, the threads can be removed only by a plastic surgeon in a sterile environment and under a strict methodology.
Process of application
The procedure includes insertion of permanent threads under the scalp using thin needles. The process is minimally invasive and takes place in local anaesthesia. The clients can expect rapid recovery and return to normal activities in a short time.
Recovery following thread suspension face lifting
The recovery period following the treatment is short. Most clients can go back to their normal activities within several days after the treatment. The treatment can be accompanied by slight swelling, reddening or sensitivity in the treated area, but this is a normal reaction and it will usually disappear in several days or weeks.
We recommend avoiding intensive physical exertion, facial massage or excessive movement of the mimic muscles for at least the first week. To promote healing and minimize a risk of complications, you should sleep with your head in a raised position and avoid direct sunlight, solarium, sauna and sports. In order to achieve optimum results, you have to follow the plastic surgeon's instructions given to you before the treatment.
Possible risks and contraindications
As with any aesthetic treatment, there are also potential risks such as infections, asymmetry or temporary discomfort. You should consult any concerns with a certified plastic surgeon before undergoing the treatment. The treatment need not be suitable for persons with certain health conditions or skin issues.
Effect and results
The results of the thread suspension face lifting are visible immediately after the application, but the final effect becomes stabilized within several weeks. The skin will gradually get firm, the face contours and complexion will acquire a youthful and fresh look. This method provides a natural look, without any artificial effect, while maintaining the original facial mimic.
The lifting effect is long-lasting. The duration ranges within several years, depending on the client's individual factors. In order to achieve optimum and long-lasting results, we recommend following the plastic surgeon's recommendations and taking a regular care of the skin.
Price of the thread suspension face lifting
The price depends on several factors such as the scope of the treated area, number of threads and the client's individual needs. As the treatment is aesthetic, the exact price is determined after a consultation with a plastic surgeon who assesses the condition of the skin and recommends the most suitable approach.
The thread suspension face lifting represents a long-term investment in a youthful appearance. Compared with other rejuvenation methods, it offers visible and natural results without the need of surgery immediately after the treatment. For detailed price information, please contact the clinic.
