Threading face, also known as a thread lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to tighten and lift facial skin.
How Does Threading Face Work?
The procedure involves inserting medical-grade thread material into the face.
- Thread Placement: These threads are carefully placed under the skin using a needle.
- Skin Tightening: The threads are then pulled, effectively lifting and tightening the skin. This provides a sculpted appearance.
- Barbed Sutures: Many thread lifts use "barbed sutures" which help to grip the underlying tissue, further enhancing the lifting effect. This is why thread lifts are sometimes referred to as barbed suture lifts.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Threading Face?
While commonly used on the face, thread lifts can also be used on other areas:
- Face: To lift sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Breasts: In some cases, thread lifts are used to lift and shape the breasts.
What are the Benefits of Threading Face?
- Skin Tightening: The primary goal is to tighten loose or sagging skin.
- Facial Sculpting: The procedure can redefine facial contours, improving overall appearance.
- Minimally Invasive: Compared to traditional facelifts, threading is less invasive with less downtime.
