Facelift and necklift with suspension threads

Suspension threads have revolutionized cosmetic medicine since they can achieve the effect of a FACELIFT and NECKLIFT in a few minutes.

Indications for this technique are patients with blurring of the contour of the lower jaw, with intense nasolabial wrinkles and relaxation in the mid-face and drooping eyebrows.

The application of the suspension threads is done with local anesthesia in the office. It takes about 1 hour and can be combined with other treatments. The results are immediately visible. In particular, the contour of the face is lifted, the excess in the neck disappears, the cheekbones are emphasized and the eyebrows can be straightened!

However, you should know that the duration of the results is 12-18 months, that 4-12 threads are required, depending on the needs of the person per session, that there may be swelling, ecchymosis and temporary asymmetry. Finally, because excess skin is not removed, as is the case during a facelift, small folds are created near the thread entry points which take about a week to normalize.

These treatments combined with the use of BOTOX, injectable hyaluronic acid implants and fractional lasers create the facelift effect and should be repeated approximately every two years.

Simple PDO threads are made from polydioxanone, a strong, single-stranded thread that hydrolyzes within the skin after 4-6 months.

They enter the skin with thin, hollow and flexible needles that do not break and are covered with a silicone coating. They are combined with suspension threads improving their effect but can also be applied alone on: face, neck, arms, knees, inner surface of thighs and generally where there is relaxation and we want to cause tightening.

All threads initially cause mechanical injury and stimulate neo-collagenogenesis through the mechanisms of healing. In the following weeks and months, the skin produces foundation substance and rebuilds itself resulting in a firmer appearance with less wrinkling.

However, you should be aware that a large number of threads (>20) are needed per area, that ecchymosis may occur during their application and that the results of their action become apparent after 10 days.
