A thread lift is a non-surgical, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure intended to improve facial features, lift sagging skin, and promote long-term collagen synthesis. Often called a "lunchtime facelift," it gently pulls and anchors tissues into a tighter, more youthful position by inserting medical-grade, dissolvable sutures beneath the skin's surface.In general,thread lifting is not as painful as many people think. The process usually entails injecting the target location with a suitable dosage of local anesthetic.Topical anesthetics are also used in some situations.
PDO /PLLA/PCL/PLCL THREADS
Thread Lifting is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure which is routinely performed as an alternative to face lift surgery. The cogged thread lift can be done in about 45 minutes to 1 hour and you can go back to work right after getting it done. The recovery time is minimal and results are very rewarding as there is an instant lift seen immediately after the PDO/PLLA/PCL/PLCL thread lift treatment at Myra skin clinic. Well that's not all, the continuous boost in collagen production helps to rejuvenate the skin with the accompanying benefits such as improved skin texture,firmness,elasticity and jawline contouring and reduced appearance of laugh lines,sagging,pores and scars .
RESULTS
The Cogged Threads help in lifting the saggy skin on the face,nose,neck,breasts etc.The procedure is absolutely safe in the hands of a trained dermatologist.
Barbed or cogged threads can be used on the jawline, double chin,laugh lines,nose,eyebrows, breasts etc.Mono threads and screw threads are commonly used around the eyes, forehead,under eye bags ,neck ,double chin,scalp etc. The results last upto 12-18 months as the sutures dissolve after this. However there is a secondary rejuvenation effect that lasts for 3 years or even longer as the principle mechanism of action of threads is to stimulate new collagen production in the affected area.Threads used are dissolvable sutures made of either polydioxanone(PDO),Poly L-Lactide(PLLA),polycaprolactone(PCL) or PLCL(combination of PCL & PLLA).
NON-SURGICAL SKIN TIGHTENING
PDO Threads help in restoring the youthful look in a safe manner. Its popularity has grown tremendously in the last decade and PDO threads are now populary used to lift and tighten the sagging skin without the need of surgery,general anesthesia or prolonged downtime. These dissolvable sutures provide firmness in the skin and improvement in the skin tone and acne scars.PLLA/PLCL is less degradable than PDO and offers long lasting anti aging effects with increased structural assistance.Non surgical rhinoplasty and delicate nasal contouring is now achievable with volumizing threads. Another popular treatment for lifting and tightening of loose skin along with reduction of resistant pockets fat is Endolift . Endolift is a minimally invasive, FDA-approved 1470nm diode laser procedure that stimulates deep collagen formation from within the subdermal layer, lifts sagging skin, and melts resistant fat. Instead of using a scalpel, hair-thin, flexible fiber optics are placed into the skin during this outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, which means there is no cutting, no scarring, little recovery time and results last for more than 2 years.
