Facial threads

Facial threading is one of the most popular and effective treatments in aesthetic medicine to address sagging and reveal a more youthful face. This non-invasive procedure is based on the use of biocompatible threads that are inserted into the skin, offering immediate lifting and long-term tightening.

What are facial threads?

Threads are thin, absorbable fibers, made from biocompatible materials such as polydioxanone (PDO), polylactic acid (PLA) or polycaprolactone (PCL). They are specifically designed to:

• They offer mechanical lifting to the skin.
• They stimulate natural collagen production.
• They improve the overall texture and elasticity of the skin.

The threads are fully absorbable by the body within a few months, leaving behind the natural effect of skin renewal.

Threads Categories

There are different types of threads, each of which serves specific needs:

1. Cog Threads: They have tiny spikes that attach to the tissues, achieving intense lifting in areas with sagging.
2. Tightening Threads (Mono Threads): They are smooth and are used to improve texture, rejuvenate and tighten the skin.
3. Screw Threads: They are used to give volume and fill areas with tissue loss.
4. Polycaprolactone (PCL) Threads: They offer longer lasting results, as they remain on the skin for up to 18-24 months.

Application Areas

The threads can be applied to various areas of the face and neck, depending on the needs:

• Cheekbones: For lifting and defining the contour.
• Cheeks: To reduce sagging and “falling”.
• Facial contour (jawline): To improve the shape of the lower jaw.
• Forehead and eyebrows: For lifting and reducing wrinkles.
• Neck: For tightening and treating sagging.

How is the process done?

Applying the threads is a quick and simple procedure performed in a medical environment:

1. Cleaning and Anesthesia: The area is cleaned and a local anesthetic cream or injection is applied to reduce discomfort.
2. Thread Insertion: Threads are inserted into the skin using very fine needles.
3. Placement: The threads are strategically placed to achieve the desired result.

The procedure takes approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment.

Benefits and results

Facial threads offer a multitude of advantages:

1. Immediate Results: The lift is visible immediately after treatment.
2. Natural Regeneration: Collagen stimulation improves the skin gradually over time.
3. Non-Invasive Method: No surgery or general anesthesia is required.
4. Short Recovery: Most people return to their daily activities the same day.
5. Long-Term Results: Last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of threads.

Who is it addressed to?

Threading therapy is suitable for people who:

• They want to address sagging without surgery.
• They seek natural results without exaggeration.
• They have moderate sagging and want to restore a youthful appearance.
• They want aging prevention with minimal recovery time.

• Avoid strenuous activity: For 48 hours after treatment.
• Possible side effects: Mild swelling, redness or small bruises, which subside quickly.

How long do the results last?

The lifting effect is immediate, while the improvement in texture and elasticity continues for months due to collagen production. The duration depends on the type of threads, age, and lifestyle, with the results remaining visible for 12-24 months.

Conclusion

Facial threads are a safe, effective and flexible solution for those who want to restore the youthful appearance of their face without surgery. With their multiple benefits and short recovery time, they are an ideal choice for those who desire a natural and long-term rejuvenation.
