INNOVATION ADVANCEMENTS IN THREAD-LIFTING AESTHETIC PROCEDURE

Innovative Advancements In Thread-Lifting Aesthetic Procedure

In today’s article, Prof Dr Morthy, the Course Director of International Institute of Wellness & Aesthetic Medicine will discuss various advancements in the field of thread-lifting aesthetic procedures.

About thread lift

Collagen is an essential protein necessary to maintain overall skin elasticity and hydration. It helps to give the face, especially around the cheeks, the eye area, the jowls, and the neck region, that youthful bounce.

But as we age, the production of collagen keeps decreasing. As a result, the overall skin tends to become thinner, drier, and less elastic. This leads to the formation of unwanted wrinkles.

Thread lifts or barbed suture technology involves threads or sutures made from materials used in surgery to close wounds. When threads are placed under the skin, they can tighten and lift loose or sagging areas in various parts of the face and body to help reduce the effects of gravity and aging, thus rejuvenating the skin. The threads tend to have cogs that help hook onto the skin, and when it is inserted and pulled back, it gives an overall “face-lift” effect.

By delivering instant lifting and natural-looking results, thread lifts are transforming the medical industry. Furthermore, new technology has allowed practitioners to discover innovative ways of using them alone and in combination with other cosmetic rejuvenation treatments. This has led to the return of thread lifts as a viable aesthetic treatment option in recent times.

Latest advancements in thread lift procedure

Thread lifts have evolved exponentially since their early days. The previous iterations of permanent threads proved challenging to work with, and techniques were often one-directional. But the latest advancements have created new standards in thread technology, leading to the development of wholly dissolvable and stronger threads.

Practitioners are now able to treat facial aging with threads where other nonsurgical treatments cannot.

Product advances

Previously, thread lifting were undissolvable and only gave short-lived results. Their results were also inconsistent with possible asymmetry, puckering, or rippling. If the procedure wasn’t performed with great accuracy or skill, patients used to experience visible bumps, scarring, and infection.

The latest advancement in thread lift aesthetic procedure has enabled innovative techniques, offering advanced designs devised to address both lifting and repositioning of the skin to reshape the face. This, in turn, has allowed aesthetic practitioners to create their own artistic and unique ways to address each patient’s individual needs and deliver improved results and satisfaction. Today’s minimally invasive threads are composed of the same material used in cardiovascular surgery for years, leading to more predictable out- comes. In addition, downtime is minimal, and the effects are immediate. The new larger, moulded threads have a little more pull and longevity.

Recently, PDO (polydioxanone) thread performance has been raised via technological advances such as contaminant-resistant fiber construction and high tensile strength. They offer monofilament screw threads with PDO inlays for more significant support, mesh threads to address deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds, and RHINO threads specifically for the nasal area.

Combination of various treatments

Updated product technology enables aesthetic practitioners to expand their armament of facial rejuvenation treatment options. In contrast, thread lift treatments, in combination with other therapies, offer the greatest range and customization for their patient’s individual needs. Combining procedures gives the patients an elevated effect because it is not just reapproximating tissue and lifting but also filling hollows and creating volume, which provides some type of lifting effect for a better outcome.

Threads, in combination with other treatments like Sculptra, fillers, and neuromodulators, help to alter the muscular movements and hypertrophy of the muscles in the face to create contours and angles for a more youthful look.
