Top 10 Cautions with Threadlifting

Today, we are talking about threading. Threading is a procedure where temporary sutures are used to produce a tiny lift in the skin for a more youthful appearance. The final results of your thread lift will be noticeable within one to two months after the treatment. There are three main types of threads that are currently on the market: Polydioxanone (PDO), Polylactic acid (PLA), and Polycarprolactone (PCA). PDO threads are the most popular type of thread because it is made of a biodegradable polymer. The best candidates for thread lifts are people who are younger than 55 and who do not want to go underthe knife for a traditional surgical face lift.

Pros of Threading:

• There is a 90% success rate according to a study done by the National Institute of Health.
• PDO threads aid to generate collagen.
• The thread lifts give the area that you choose an overall smoother appearance and a reduction in lines and wrinkles.
• It is the best way to reduce wrinkles and sagging without having to go under the knife to lift your skin.
• PDO thread lifts have minimal downtimes, no scars and are painless, unlike other surgical methods.

Cons of Threading:

• Having a thread lift is not a permanent solution.
• Thread lifts do not change the shift in your facial volume.
• There is a good chance of sagging after six months.
• Having a thread lift isn't exactly risk free - complications include damage to the blood vessels and facial nerve damage.
• Thread lifts last between 9-12 months whereas a surgical lift is expected to last you about 10 years.
