Thread Lifting Applications

The collagen in the connective tissue, which we call the support tissue of our skin, begins to decrease with aging. As a result, the skin begins to loosen and sag downwards. Our round or oval facial features gradually become square and rectangular. Hollowing under the eyes, loss of volume in the cheek area, shrinkage in the chin and irregularities in the jaw line occur.

New non-surgical methods have now been developed to lift the skin upwards, add volume to the cheeks and mid-face, regain the oval of the chin and improve skin quality. The skin is lifted and stretched by placing special dissolvable threads under the skin. The threads dissolve in about 6-8 months, but the effect and stimulation it creates in the tissue continues for 2 years.

The application is done with a special needle without any incision stitches in a sterile way by numbing the area to be applied with cream. There is almost no pain and the total duration is 30-40 minutes. After the procedure, the patient can return to normal social life. The effect of the procedure provides a visible improvement even at the moment when it is performed, but the best effect is seen in the 3rd month. Since the threads are biocompatible, which are fusible threads that are compatible with our tissue and can be used in surgery, they do not have any side effects. Other purposes of threads are fine wrinkles, skin tightening and rejuvenation.

It can also be performed regionally in the form of crow’s feet, barcode lines, chin-neck lifting, décolleté area and arm tightening. The biggest advantage of thread facelift compared to surgery is that it can be repeated as many times as desired. Other advantages are that there are no incisions or scars. The ability to continue regular social life after the procedure and it does not damage anatomical structures like vessels, muscles and nerves.
