Thread lift facial rejuvenation (French lift) is a procedure performed to give the face and neck a tighter, younger appearance.
Who Can Thread Lift Be Applied To?
The appropriate age range for the non-surgical face lift method is 35-60 years old. However, it can also be applied to older people who do not have too much sagging on their face, do not have a heavy and oily face. People who do not want to have a face lift surgery and do not want to receive anesthesia, who are afraid of the side effects of the surgery and do not want to go through a recovery period can choose it.
How Does Thread Lift Work?
New collagen bundles form around the thread under the skin within weeks. The purpose of the placed threads is to increase circulation under the skin, collagen production and skin moisture. With increased collagen production, wrinkles are reduced, skin tightening increases and sagging areas are tightened. It may take 3 months to see the full effect. Although it varies from person to person, its effect lasts for about 2 years on average. Even if the effect wears off, the person may have a tighter appearance than before the procedure. The thread suspension procedure can be repeated after its effect has worn off.
What to Consider After Thread Suspension?
Thread suspension does not have any serious side effects as long as it is applied correctly and under appropriate conditions. Swelling, bruising, sensitivity, slight edema, and dimples called dimples may occur in the area where the thread is inserted. All of these effects regress within 1-2 weeks and there is no trace left on the skin at the end of the procedure.
After the procedure, the patient can return to their daily life and can apply make-up after 24 hours.
After the thread face suspension procedure, people are advised to avoid dental procedures, biting hard foods, lying face down, and situations that cause excessive movement of the facial muscles for 2 weeks.
