The procedure

Thread rejuvenation

The duration of the procedure depends on the area of the skin and the number of threads used. The procedure takes 20-40 minutes on average.

Thread rejuvenation is a minimally invasive procedure and does not involve any recovery period. Redness and slight swelling may occur on the day of the procedure. This is caused by the fact that deeper layers of the skin are accessed.

Anaesthesia

Anaesthetic cream or topical infiltration anaesthesia (lidocaine injection)

The condition of the skin improves immediately after the procedure: the skin smooths out in places where the threads were implanted. In the next weeks the skin becomes firmer and thicker. As a result of rejuvenation, the number of collagen fibres in folds and deep wrinkles increases, thus reducing them.

 

Thread lift

The main elements that affect the tissue are cogs located on every thread. Their main task is to anchor in the tissue, which is elevated and stabilised in a new position as the threads are pulled. The threads create a scaffolding to support tissues in order to achieve a stable, permanent result.

The procedure itself is minimally invasive with a relatively short recovery time that depends on individual patient characteristics. After the procedure, redness, slight swelling or bruising can occur, which may last for a few days or more. This is caused by the fact that deeper layers of the skin are accessed.  The skin may appear slightly overpulled: in some patients overcorrection is necessary (excessive pulling of the face), which may last for up to a few days. Recovery time is usually up to 2-3 weeks; however, patients can usually return to normal activity after a few days.

The facelift effect can be seen immediately after the procedure. As the threads slowly dissolve, columns of collagen and elastin fibres form along them, which provide firmness to the skin. Cog threads make it possible to conduct a full facelift, facial contouring and shaping, elevate eyebrow arches and drooping eyelids, correct the shape of the nose and raise the corners of the eyes and lips. The threads also eliminate nasolabial folds and wrinkles.

After the procedure

  • It is recommended that you use cold compresses on the treated areas within the first six hours after the procedure.
  • You should sleep on your back for the first 3-5 nights.
  • You are advised against undergoing dental treatment, facial massage and cosmetic treatment, and playing any contact sports in the first week after the procedure.
  • You can wash your face and hair without any limitations.
  • You should limit your facial expression for the first 3 weeks after the procedure.
  • It is recommended that you avoid chewing hard food and opening your mouth vigorously during the first 4 weeks after the procedure.
  • Use sunscreen after the procedure.
  • Sometimes a 3-7 day antibiotic treatment is indicated.
