Facial thread lifting (ร้อยไหมกรอบหน้า, term in Thai) is growing in popularity in the cosmetic world. It is deem to be the less invasive way of somehow bringing back the hands of time. When doing a thread lift, temporary sutures are utilized to create a slight but noticeable “lift” in the skin. The cosmetic surgeon suspends the patient’s sagging facial skin with sutures rather than surgically removing it. As a result, the loose skin gets elevated and tightened. Threads are excellent for elevating the skin, but they also work to delay the aging process by inducing the ability of the body to self-heal and directing massive amounts of collagen to the treated areas. This is significant since collagen is essential to the aging process.
The significance of collagen stimulation in facial thread lifting
The “growth factors” that have a significant impact on the health of our skin are supported by collagen. Collagen aids in wound healing in addition to maintaining the strength, volume, and suppleness of our skin. Our bodies continually create collagen, but the level it produces depletes with age, which results in an 80% drop in skin thickness by the time we reach the age of 70. The development of extra skin and wrinkles is significantly influenced by this loss of volume and strength. Gravity pushes the skin downward and strains it as a result of the skin losing its ability to sustain the tissues beneath it as it becomes weaker.Fresh collagen infusion can assist in both lessening looseness (by thickening and moisturizing the skin), thus, be able to prevent the possibility of the skin to gets worst.
Why thread lift is better than facelift?
The significantly shorter recovery period lined with thread lifts is for many patients the major benefit over facelifts. Due to the need for heavy sedation during facelift surgery, the patient must make arrangements for transportation home from the specialty clinic or hospital. The majority of facelift patients also need round-the-clock care for a three-day period following surgery. Furthermore, childcare assistance may be required if the patient still has kids at home. Patients who have had facelifts typically need several weeks out of work as well to recover. So the downtime is longer when compared with a face thread lift procedure.
On the other hand, recovering from a thread lift is rather simple. Since thread lifts can be done under local anaesthetic rather than general anesthesia. Right after the procedure, you can drive yourself home and take care of yourself right away following the surgery. While some patients who have had a thread lift may have a little discomfort, redness, and swelling. A day of rest is enough to recover from the procedure. In fact, the majority can go back to work right away. After a thread lift, patients rarely require strong pain medication, making it simpler for them to resume their regular lifestyle. Therefore, this technique is suitable for those who have young children at home or tough, busy jobs.
