Thread Lift Treatment in Hyderabad
What is a thread lift?
Thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to achieve a gentle, noticeable lift to the skin. This technique involves the placement of medical-grade absorbable sutures, commonly known as fine threads or filaments, beneath the skin’s surface. By carefully stitching up the skin, it helps create a tighter and more youthful appearance that many individuals desire. The procedure is considered safe, relatively fast, and significantly more cost-effective than traditional surgical lifts.
How does a thread lift work?
During a thread lift procedure, dissolvable sutures are carefully inserted beneath the skin. These sutures feature invisible and painless barbs that anchor onto the skin, opening in an umbrella-like manner to ensure a secure grip on underlying muscles and tissues as the threads are tightened. The insertion of these barbed threads also stimulates the body’s natural healing response. When the sutures are detected, collagen production in the treated area is boosted. Collagen plays a crucial role in enhancing skin firmness, smoothness, plumpness, and elasticity, ultimately restoring a more youthful appearance that can last for a significant period of time.
The procedure of Thread Lift
A thread lift treatment is typically performed with the patient under local anesthesia, allowing them to remain awake and communicate throughout the procedure. The duration of the treatment generally lasts around an hour. However, the actual length may vary based on factors such as the specific technique employed for thread insertion, the size of the treatment area, and the severity of the condition being addressed. The procedure is carried out by a licensed practitioner in their office, ensuring a safe and controlled environment. It’s important to note that the treatment approach may slightly differ for each patient, as it is tailored to their individual preferences and the specific area being targeted.
The patient is positioned comfortably in a reclined position within the treatment room, where the procedure is conducted. The designated treatment site is carefully numbed to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the process.
Subsequently, a fine needle or a cannula, a small hollow needle, is employed to delicately insert the threads beneath the skin’s superficial fat layer. The number of threads needed to cover the treatment area is determined by the provider, based on individual requirements and desired results.
After the precise insertion of the threads, the cannula that was used is gently removed. It is common for the patient to experience a sensation of tightening or light pressure under the skin at this stage. This is an expected and temporary response as the threads begin to provide support and lift to the targeted area.
Following the removal of the needles, the patient is free to return home or resume their regular activities, including work. There is typically no need for a prolonged recovery period or downtime after the procedure. However, it is important to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by the healthcare provider to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential discomfort.
At Skinbliss Clinic, a renowned anti-aging clinic in Hyderabad, the thread lift treatment is administered by Dr. Deepali, a highly skilled and experienced skin doctor. Dr. Deepali combines her medical expertise with artistic finesse to achieve exceptional facial aesthetics for her patients.
Following the thread lift procedure, patients may observe immediate improvements in their skin’s appearance. However, the full extent of the results becomes more apparent once the initial swelling subsides and the threads settle into place, typically within a week. It is important to note that the desired outcome, characterized by a natural and youthful appearance resulting from collagen remodeling, becomes more noticeable over the course of a few months. Dr. Deepali and her team provide comprehensive care and guidance throughout the recovery process to ensure optimal and long-lasting results.
How long does the effect of thread lift last?
Thread lift treatment provides natural-looking results which may last anywhere between 1-3 years which is much less than the surgical facelift. The thread material usually dissolves under the skin after about 6 months but skin improvements caused by new collagen production can remain there for several more months.
Areas that can be targeted with Thread Lift
A thread lift is mostly performed on mild to moderate sagging areas of the face such as:
- Forehead
- Brows
- Under-eye area
- Cheeks
- Jawline
Other than these, it can even be performed to tighten loose skin of the neck, arms, buttocks, inner thighs, knees, tummy, and even the bust area (especially after weight loss or pregnancy).
Concerns Corrected with Thread Lift
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Tear trough
- Nasolabial fold
- Marionette lines
- Jowls (droopy/ heavy jawline)
- Bunny lines
- Droopy/ sunken cheeks
- Lip borderlines
- Thin lips
- Chin wrinkles
- Neck lines/ bands
If you have mild to moderate sagging of skin over the face, or want some definition of the jawline, and are not willing to go under the knife, you should opt for thread lifts after consultation from the dermatologist. Threads can also help to improve the appearance of double chin and jowls.
