Maybe it is not possible to stop time and prevent the aging process, but with modern rejuvenation methods such as lifts, youth is not out of reach. It must be interesting for you to know that there are different methods for face lift, one of which is thread lift.
In thread face lift, you can make changes in various parts of your face, such as the forehead, cheeks, eyebrows, eyelids, nose, etc. These changes can have either rejuvenating aspects or a balancing aspect that can bring you beauty in the end.
In the thread lift, special threads are used which are sutured under the skin of the face, and are done non-permanently for a period of several years, to your desired goal in beauty. One of the methods of thread lift is lifting with PDO threads[1].
These temporary stitches that are placed under the skin have two amazing rejuvenating effects on the face:
Lift and tighten the skin/ Avoid Saggy skin
In this method, without the use of a razor and without making any incisions or cuts, the specialist can create changes under the skin that will cause the skin to tighten. This method does not have the pain of lift surgery. As for lift around the eyes in particular, this method has a lot of fans who want to eliminate wrinkles around their eyes.
Stimulating collagen production
The threads placed under the skin, in addition to tightening and conditioning the skin, slowdowns the aging process of the skin. These sutures stimulate the skin’s repair process and help the body to make large amounts of collagen near the areas where the treated are placed. This amazing effect plays an important role in achieving our goals for skin rejuvenation. Because collagen is one of the key elements in youth and beauty of the skin.
Collagen is a protein filament found in the skin that has many uses in our body. These protein fibers work very well in healing wounds and making our skin look vibrant and fresh. As you get older, your body produces less collagen and the skin becomes thinner, eventually the skin has shrunk by 80% of its thickness until a person is 70 years old.
Thread lift and facial sagging treatment
In this method, no surgical razor is used or needed, so no incision is made on the skin. Instead, the specialist makes changes under the skin, therefore by lifting and tightening the facial skin the sagging on the surface of the skin is no longer visible.
The thread lift helps you heal your sagging and loose aging marks caused by gravity over time.
In this method, threads are fixed in the underlying layer of the skin and contrary to the sagging of the face and at an angle determined by a specialist, they are pulled or tightened. This process is done without injury in a short time, but of course it should be done by a professional doctor. The duration of this process can be different due to the specialist’s skills.
After a sagging face lift, your face will have a smooth and firm surface in a short time and there will be no trace of sagging on your face. The result of skin stretching is an immediate procedure that can last long for several years. It depends on personal lifestyle and the type and material of the thread. One of the treatment methods for drooping eyelids is the same as thread lift, which is highly recommended.
