Thread lift
The new trend in facelift and facial muscle lift
Although Full Facelift or Mega Facelift is the most optimal method for facial skin tightening, but for Facelift using Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread,... or minimally invasive 24K Gold threat is the latest trend in lifting the middle facial muscle area, especially at nasolabial folds.
Facelift using 24K Gold thread
- The golden thread with knots will help hold the facial muscles and support the cell tissues to stimulate the collagen production, so it will help the facial skin to look plump and youthful.
Advantages of 24K Gold thread facelift
- 24K Gold threat doesn’t stimulate allergic reactions to the body.
- The technique of inserting the 24K gold thread doesn’t require making an incision in the temples to hold the threads.
Disadvantages of 24K Gold thread facelift
- Because the 24K gold threat causes less allergic reactions to the body, the little hooks of the thread also causes less stimulation on the tissues. Therefore, the effect of collagen production is also low because the technique of inserting the gold thread is not fixed into the temporal muscle area, so facelift using 24K Gold thread can only maintain the effective period from 6 to 12 months. Before, using Gold threat is a worldwide trend, but, gradually over time, the usage of Gold thread has become less popular.
Facelift using Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread, or Nano Collagen 3D thread,...
- Due to the drawbacks of 24 carat gold thread being less stimulating collagen production, it lacks elasticity and flexibility according to the facial muscle and has hook-like barbs that are not large enough. So, researchers have introduced a new type of thread to address these issues: Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread,...
Advantages of facelift using Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread,...
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread,.. Are made of biological materials with large mesh and hooks to securely attach to the facial muscles. The mesh supports the tissues, forming a flat surface thanks to the hooked fibers. The peripheral mesh and thread bow fixed to the temple area help stabilize and support the skin and facial muscles.
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread,... will absorb in 2 years to maximize the collagen production thanks to the biological material.
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread,... has the elasticity and flexibility according to the facial muscles, allowing them to adapt to facial movements and provide a more natural appearance.
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread,... will be tightly secured to the temple muscle to ensure higher lifting effect on the facial muscles compared to the previously used gold thread, which only had a short-term effect.
Disadvantages of facelift using Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread,...
- Polydioxanone Samyang absorbable thread, The Up thread, Ultra thread,... has large mesh and hooks that provide strong support for the facial muscles, which requires fixation to the temporal fascia. This technique necessitates a small needle hole in the temporal area, but it leaves no scar as it is hidden in the air.
- Has an infectious rate of 1%.
The process of thread lift
