Which thread lift program is right for you?
When talking about thread lifts, one might think of pulling the face and putting it behind the ear. Then it was passed on by word of mouth until it became a wrong belief that created fear for this type of cosmetic enhancement that it must be scary, the face must be tight until it is distorted, or use dangerous materials that make it impossible to enter various machines, causing people to be afraid and not dare to open their hearts to this type of cosmetic enhancement.
But in reality, thread lifts have both dissolvable and non-dissolvable threads, and currently, non-dissolvable threads are almost never used in the beauty industry. The non-dissolvable threads that we have heard of may have been called gold threads, metal threads, or plastic threads. These threads cannot dissolve by the body’s mechanisms. Sometimes, they can be dangerous. Importantly, they are a group of threads that are not resistant to heat, which can sometimes cause the user’s face to become deformed. For those who have had these thread lifts, they will not be able to enter an MRI or CT Scan machine.
The most popular threads used today are the dissolvable threads that we know and are familiar with. They are used to stitch surgical wounds in the medical field. They are inserted into the skin layer using the technique of each doctor. They use a needle to insert the threads into the facial skin to lift and tighten the skin, making it look tighter. The ends of the threads may be hidden at the temples and the frame of the face or lower cheeks. The doctor will pull the threads up to lift and tighten the skin according to the doctor’s technique and suitability for each type of thread. The results of the thread lift program can be seen immediately.
When choosing thread for a thread lift, the doctor will choose thread that is appropriate for the patient’s problem. The length and characteristics will vary depending on the area used.
The basic principle of each type of thread is similar in that the thread that the doctor threads under the skin will stimulate the creation of new blood vessels under the skin. It also helps stimulate blood circulation to nourish the skin layer more. The thread lifting program also stimulates cells that are responsible for creating collagen fibers, causing new collagen and elastin under the skin to be created and wrapped around the threads. This results in pulling the facial skin, making the facial skin firmer, helping to restore and tighten the skin, resulting in healthy skin that looks younger and fuller.
What is thread lift? What is it for? Is it dangerous? Why does it make your face slimmer?
Results depend on each individual’s skin condition.
The types of thread used in thread lift programs are divided into 3 types, with the following differences:
1. PDO thread (Polydioxanone) is a very safe absorbable thread that is also very flexible. This type of thread is popularly used in the surgical community. Doctors like to use it to sew various tissues in the body, such as suturing wounds or various types of blood vessels, including the heart. The thread can dissolve on its own without having to cut it, and the PDO thread can remain under the skin for 4 to 6 months.
2. PCL (Polycaprolactone) thread is a dissolvable thread used in the medical field that is highly flexible and tough. It can stretch and contract with the movement of the body and face well, reducing the chance of thread breakage. It dissolves completely within 1-2 years.
3. PLLA (Polylactic acid) thread is a strong, durable, and hard absorbable thread. It is the thread that stimulates collagen production the best. It is a thread that is highly resistant to tensile force and can remain in place under the skin for 1 year.
Characteristics of silk threads used in the thread-threading industry
Since each person’s facial features, skin texture, and facial problems are different, you should consult a doctor to solve the problem using a thread lift program to get the best and most appropriate results. The characteristics of threads currently available on the market are as follows:
1. Smooth thread (Mono thread)
It will be a smooth, straight thread, no barbs, no cutting of the line. It is a thread that is popularly used in the era of thread lifting. It will have the characteristics of a short thread. The doctor will use it to insert the thread into the skin layer to make the face tighter. It will help restore the skin and create collagen under the skin. But on the other hand, this type of thread will not help in lifting. The symptoms after the thread lift will make the face swollen, causing the service recipient to feel that the face is full and tight for only a short period of time.
2. Screw thread
The characteristics of this type of silk are easily observed. It is a smooth silk that is rolled into a spiral shape similar to a spring. It can be one or two silk strands, depending on the type of silk. The spiral silk is a silk that is stronger than the normal smooth silk. This type of silk is designed to be used in areas of sunken skin, where collagen is lost, or where there are depressions. The spiral silk will help increase the density of the skin, which is different from the normal Mono silk.
3. Barbed thread
Or bidirectional barbed thread may be very familiar if called fishbone silk or rose silk and many other names. All of the names mentioned are marketing names according to the characteristics of the silk, which is the silk that is generally popular. The characteristics of barbed silk are that it has barbs extending from the silk, which may extend in 1 direction or 2 directions as well. The barbs of the silk have the function of pulling and lifting sagging facial skin very well. The barbs of the silk will lock in and lift the skin.
The barbs of silk are further divided into:
Notched Barbed Silk
This type of barbed silk is produced and created by cutting the silk barbs using a laser or other manufacturing processes until they look like ribs. It is comparable to using a knife to cut the bark of a tree into notches. The notches of the silk will be different depending on the type of silk.
– Uni-direction is a barbed suture that has barbs arranged in one direction.
– Bi-direction is a barbed suture that has barbs arranged in two opposite directions, but only one is notched.
– 3D Cog is a barbed suture that has barbs arranged in three-dimensional directions around the suture line in 360 degrees.
Cast barbed silk
This type of barbed silk has the characteristics of barbs that are molded together with the threads. It is a silk that has a mold that is a barb. It can be compared to a rose stem that has thorns that come out of the stem naturally. This type of silk has very strong barbs that can stick to the skin very tightly.
The barbs of silk, which are cast barbs, are further divided into:
– Carving Cog is a type of barbed silk that has triangular barbs like thorns arranged along the silk thread.
– Molding Cog is a barbed thread that has the characteristics of molding the barbs to be arranged along the silk to look like the teeth of a saw blade or shark teeth.
– 3D Molding Cog is a barbed silk that has the characteristics of casting barbs to be arranged along the silk thread to look like large triangular thorns coming out from the center of the silk thread around the silk thread in a shape similar to a rose stem.
The characteristics of the two types of barbed silk are very different in terms of strength and durability. This is because notched barbed silk is silk that has barbs notched into the silk thread, making the barbs of the silk less strong than cast barbed silk.
4. Cone-shaped silk
The barbs of this type of silk are shaped like cones surrounding the silk threads, looking like a cone coming out of the silk. The barbs of the silk will make it stick to the skin very well. The cone is well designed, not sharp enough to cut or scrape the skin, reducing skin damage more than barbed silk.
However, this type of thread requires a specialist doctor to provide the service because it is a thread that requires high skill and technique in threading.
5. Mesh silk
This type of silk is a smooth silk with many strands woven into a net. In addition, there is another barbed silk inside the net. This barbed silk is a type of silk that has barbs casted around the entire silk, making it better at lifting the face. It is stronger and more suitable for facelifts and creating high collagen. It is very good because it makes the tissue under the skin adhere to the silk more tightly than a single-layer silk. The newly formed collagen creates tissue through the holes in the net, making the resulting tissue more fluffy and firm.
