Thread Lift

At Spirit Plastics Clinic, the Thread Lift is a modern, non-surgical procedure aimed at tightening the skin and restoring a youthful appearance to the face. In contemporary aesthetic medicine, the use of Silhouette Soft® and FTC bio-threads opens new dimensions in face lifting. This procedure allows for the lifting of facial contours, smoothing of sagging skin, and intensive enhancement of collagen production, thereby restoring the skin’s natural elasticity and youthful radiance. Thread lifting is among the advanced techniques that minimize the invasiveness of the procedure while delivering maximum results in combating visible signs of aging.

 

What is a Thread Lift?

Thread Lift, also known as vector lift, is a revolutionary, non-surgical facial rejuvenation technique highly popular at Spirit Plastics Clinic. During the procedure, special, biodegradable threads are inserted under the skin, immediately lifting and reinforcing the facial structure while stimulating long-term collagen production. This dual effect ensures the tightening of the facial skin and the enhancement of facial contours. Thread lifting is particularly recommended for those who expect natural results and wish to avoid any surgical interventions while seeking to regain their skin’s elasticity and youthful appearance.

 

Who Should Consider Thread Lifting? 

Thread lifting, a non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure, is particularly recommended for individuals aged 30-50 who notice mild to moderate skin sagging on their face, neck, or chin. This technique is an ideal choice for those seeking a natural yet significant solution for rejuvenating the skin and facial contours, as well as enhancing facial volume.

Thread lifting offers an excellent solution for those looking to minimize the signs of skin aging due to stress, sun exposure, and environmental pollutants in a minimally invasive manner. The FTC and Silhouette Soft threads used during the procedure not only restore skin tightness but also contribute to enhancing the body’s own collagen production, thus improving skin structure and elasticity over the long term.

The FTC and Silhouette Soft threads are made from absorbable, biocompatible materials that not only provide short-term results but also long-term structural support for the facial skin. This method is particularly advantageous for those who do not wish to undergo more radical surgical procedures but require tightening, refreshing, and rejuvenating of their facial skin.

Thread Lift Procedure 

Thread lifting at Spirit Plastics Clinic is a forward-looking and non-surgical method used for skin tightening and improving facial contours. The procedure follows precisely planned steps to achieve the best results with minimal risk.

 

Initial Consultation 

Every thread lifting process begins with a personalized consultation. At this initial meeting, our plastic surgeon thoroughly assesses the patient’s needs and the current state of their facial skin. During this evaluation, we examine the skin’s texture, elasticity, and the extent of any sagging. Based on this information, we develop a treatment plan, including the type and amount of bio-threads needed, to ensure that the results are natural and harmonious.

 

Procedure Steps

The actual thread lifting is performed in a sterile environment under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort and pain. The duration of the procedure varies, typically ranging from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of areas treated and the quantity of threads being inserted.

During the thread insertion, we use special blunt-ended needles to introduce the bio-threads into the deeper layers of the skin with minimal incision. This technique allows for lifting the skin and stimulating collagen production without requiring large cuts.

 

Immediate and Lasting Results

The effects of thread lifting are immediately noticeable, and the patient can quickly return to their daily activities after the treatment. The collagen production initiated by the procedure gradually improves the quality of the skin, which remains perceptible in the long term. The results can last up to 2-3 years, depending on the patient’s skin and lifestyle.

Post-Care 

After thread lifting, it is advisable to treat the skin gently, avoiding strong physical impacts, such as intensive massages or strong sunlight. Mild swelling or minor bruising may occur in the first few days following the procedure, but these usually resolve quickly. Makeup can be applied 48 hours after the procedure, and normal skincare routines can be resumed.

Thread lifting is a safe and effective method for rejuvenating the skin and lifting facial contours, performed at a high standard at Spirit Plastics Clinic to ensure patients leave satisfied with the most natural results possible.

 

Contraindications and Side Effects of Thread Lifting 

Thread lifting may not be recommended under certain conditions, particularly in the following cases:

During pregnancy and breastfeeding. In the presence of major internal medical diseases or active autoimmune conditions. Propensity for keloids, as this can increase the risk of scarring. Active skin infections, fever, or acute illnesses at the treatment area.

 

Side Effects 

Thread lifting is generally a safe procedure, however, some mild side effects may occur:

Temporary swelling, bruising, or mild skin folding may occur after treatment, usually resolving within 7-14 days. Avoid makeup for the first 48 hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of irritation and infection. It is recommended to sleep on your back for 7-10 days to reduce swelling on the face and support the healing process. Intense facial expressions, rubbing or massaging, and sudden neck and head movements should be avoided for at least 3 weeks to ensure the threads settle properly and do not shift. Avoid sports, using a sauna, taking hot showers, and exposure to direct sunlight during the healing period. Dental or other aesthetic procedures should also be avoided for at least 4 weeks following thread lifting. Before the treatment, each patient undergoes a detailed consultation where the plastic surgeon assesses individual risks and provides comprehensive information about the procedure, possible side effects, and expected results.
