Cosmetic threads for face lift video

Kogi threads, developed by Korean cosmetologists, allow you to tighten sagging muscle fibers and correct the oval shape without resorting to abdominal cosmetic surgery for a facelift. The innovative method of restoring natural firmness and elasticity to the skin using Cog mesothreads has become a real breakthrough in cosmetology.

It is much more effective than the usual Botox, peeling and biorevitalization, helping to restore and preserve the natural frame of the face, reinforcing the flabby structure of the skin. The method is not inferior in effectiveness to surgical facelift, but is less traumatic. Recovery after the introduction of Kogi threads is quick and painless.

What is thread lifting

Microinvasive intervention carried out by introducing special threads from different materials into the dermis (subcutaneous layer) of the face is called thread lifting. The method significantly smoothes out age-related changes and eliminates scars that create aesthetic imbalance.

Thread lifting is performed not only on the face, it perfectly rejuvenates and smoothes the neck and décolleté area. Thread lifting has become especially popular in domestic cosmetology in the last 20 years.

Description of Kogi threads

Kogi threads for face lifting are cosmetic threads made from natural biomaterial, absolutely compatible with the tissues of the human body. Kogi threads differ from other mesothreads by multiple converging and diverging notches called Cog (translated from English cog means tooth).

Reliable fixation of Kogi threads inside the subcutaneous layer of the dermis is ensured by straightening the notches.

Kogi mesothreads consist of a puncture needle, a hollow soft tube with a hard pin inside it (cannula) and a voluminous mesothread with notches. The needle is made of high-quality heavy-duty medical steel. Laser sharpening of the needle makes it easy, low-traumatic and almost painless to insert mesothreads under the skin.

Kogi mesothreads come in the following types:

1. PLLA – the threads are particularly durable. The threads contain polylactic acid, which enhances collagen production and provides lifting similar to the effects of fillers. Threads of different lengths (90 - 150 mm) allow them to be used for reinforcing different areas of the face and tightening the skin on the neck. The effect lasts for a year;
2. PDO – mesothreads are made from polydioxanone (monofilament suture material). Absorbs from six months to a year, leaving a natural collagen framework that lasts for about 2 years;
3. DOUBLE COG is a thread with double-sided notches in the shape of a herringbone. In case of laxity and looseness of the dermis, it perfectly tightens it and retains its shape perfectly;
4. single-sided threads have multidirectional notches on only one side of the thread body. Recommended for use in mild age-related skin deformations;
5. multidirectional threads equipped with multidirectional notches around the thread. An excellent result is achieved in the case of sagging skin (the “baked apple” effect), with a deficiency of subcutaneous fatty tissue. Recommended for use for tightening and fixing large areas of skin.

Today, cosmetologists have 3D and 4D Kogi threads available to them:

1. 3D — Kogi threads have notches in three directions around the thread, used for enhanced lifting of the middle area of ​​the cheeks and cheekbones. The insertion of threads is quite painful, so it is performed under local anesthesia. The procedure is simple and can be performed by a well-trained, experienced cosmetologist;
2. 4D – the threads have numerous notches in 4 directions. Inserting a thread is a rather complicated procedure and can only be performed by a plastic surgeon. The effect is almost immediate.

First of all, when choosing the type of threads, the patient’s age and the characteristics of his skin (the degree of sagging of the facial skin, the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer, etc.) are taken into account.

Action of threads

Kogi threads are implanted into the dermis of the face and, due to multiple multidirectional incisions, are securely fixed, providing the necessary tension to tighten the facial skin. They are introduced using small punctures and inserting a needle and thread under the skin. Then the needle is removed, leaving a taut thread in the specified direction.

The whole procedure takes a little over half an hour. First, the skin is well cleaned and disinfected with an antiseptic. Then, with a special marker, the pattern of threads is applied to the skin. An anesthetic cream is applied to the skin to reduce skin sensitivity. And after 10-15 minutes, when the skin is sufficiently frozen, threads are inserted.

To do this, small incisions or punctures are made in the skin. The thread is inserted under the skin to a depth of 3-5 mm and then pulled using a cannula along the marked lines. The doctor monitors the accuracy of thread insertion using a camera. Accuracy plays a huge role, since needle threads can cause microtrauma when pulled through the skin.

After installing the mesh, the doctor pulls the threads, using notches and knots, secures them, forming a strong frame. Then sutures are placed on the incisions and an elastic aseptic bandage is placed on top. The doctor removes this bandage a week later, after examining the patient.

Everything is strictly sterile, the threads must be unsealed in front of the patient.

If pain relief with cream is not enough and the patient still feels pain, an injection of lidocaine or ultracaine is given. The entire operation does not last long, on an outpatient basis. The patient can go home immediately. The rejuvenating effect is maximally manifested after about a month, although a visible improvement in the condition of the skin is observed immediately after the procedure.

The action of Kogi threads occurs in three stages:

1. provide good tightening in the deep layers of the dermis, thanks to notches;
2. in the connective tissue cells around the threads, the production of elastin and collagen is enhanced, its metabolism and renewal are accelerated. The structure and quality of the skin, its microcirculation are noticeably improved;
3. When resorbed, they form a fairly strong collagen frame, which ensures the formation and fixation of the required contour of the face and body.

Depending on the condition of the skin, the doctor calculates the required number of threads required:

Kogi threads not only help to secure the skin, they allow you to move and “tighten” it. A correctly performed procedure visually tightens and straightens the oval contour of the face, removes medium and small age wrinkles.

This procedure is recommended by doctors to patients aged 35 to 50 years, with slight sagging of the skin and swelling of the oval of the face. With severely weakened skin tone and severe ptosis, Kogi threads will not be able to give the desired result. In such cases, the patient is recommended to undergo abdominal or laser cosmetic surgery for a facelift.

Advantages and disadvantages

The introduction of Kogi threads, like any cosmetic procedure that violates the integrity of the skin, is associated with a certain risk. Therefore, you should think carefully, consult with a good doctor, weigh the pros and cons before deciding to undergo manipulation.

The advantages of using Kogi threads become obvious if you familiarize yourself with their properties:

1. short duration of the procedure. One session takes about an hour, and the patient can go home the same day. The operation is performed on an outpatient basis;
2. practicality (no more than 4 threads are required per area of ​​treated skin);
3. safety (absolute naturalness, excluding rejection and allergies). In addition, there is no threat of distant inflammation of the skin and purulent processes due to the disintegration of threads);
4. prolonged effect (effect up to 3 years);
5. compatibility with the use of other mesothreads and other cosmetic procedures;
6. maintaining natural facial expressions;
7. Applicability for various parts of the body.

The main and, probably, the only disadvantage of using Kogi threads is the need to reintroduce them every one and a half to two years. The threads completely dissolve during this time, turning into carbon dioxide and water, and are eliminated from the body naturally. In addition, the high cost of the procedure can be a disadvantage.

Such issues as some soreness, small wounds and swelling are inevitable accompanying phenomena and largely depend on the experience and skill of the plastic surgeon. The disadvantage of using Kogi threads is also age restrictions. Threads are indicated for patients aged 35 to 55 years.

Indications for use

Kogi threads for face lifting are used for the following age or other reasons for emerging pathologies of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté:

1. fine and deep wrinkles;
2. deep nasolabial folds;
3. sagging and laxity of the skin;
4. drooping eyelids and eyebrows;
5. drooping corners of the lips (mournful folds);
6. sagging cheeks (so-called jowls);
7. swollen facial contour, displacement of the oval of the face, leading to pronounced asymmetry;
8. ring of Venus (on the neck);
9. bags under the eyes;
10. double chin;
11. postoperative scars;
12. sagging and loose skin after liposuction;
13. lethargy and looseness of the skin on the abdomen and buttocks;
14. wrinkles in the décolleté area.

In addition, Kogi threads can provide additional volume to certain areas of the face, such as cheekbones and cheeks.

Contraindications

The use of Kogi threads is not recommended in the following cases:

1. pregnancy;
2. the presence of infectious and viral skin diseases;
3. low blood clotting;
4. excess production of sebum, causing clogging of small wounds and their inflammation;
5. Severe sagging of the skin, critical swelling of the oval of the face;
6. presence of cancer;
7. diabetes mellitus 1 and 2 degrees;
8. age up to 35 and after 55 years.

If you are individually intolerant to anesthetic drugs, the procedure will have to be carried out without pain relief, which is contraindicated if you have a low pain sensitivity threshold.

The best Kogi thread manufacturers: review and prices

Kogi threads for face lifting from Korean manufacturers are presented on the domestic market of cosmetology services. They differ in quality, price, and application features. The cost of the service depends on the manufacturer, region, specific clinic, and qualifications of the plastic surgeon. Prices for Kogi threads vary from 2000 to 3000 rubles. for one thread.

Before turning to specialists for the procedure for installing Kogi mesothreads, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the different types of Kogi threads from various manufacturing companies. You need to be confident in the experience and qualifications of the doctor to whom you give money and trust the most precious things - health and beauty.

To do this, you need to read the reviews of patients who have previously used the services of this doctor, about the doctor himself and about the clinic as a whole. Today, every reputable and competitive clinic has its own website on the Internet, which is constantly updated and accessible to every user.

Korean threads under the Omega brand

The most popular lifting mesothreads in Russia today remain the Omega brand from the Korean manufacturer OV World. This company was the first in Korea to receive a patent for the production of kogi threads from the monofilament suture material polydioxanone.

Mesothreads under the Omega trademark are available in the following variations:

The best effect is obtained by using these three types of threads in combination.

Beaute’ lift V Line

Beaute lift V-LINE threads are manufactured in Korea, puncture needles are sharpened and polished using laser technology in Japan. The threads undergo additional polishing and contain only natural material, polydioxanone, which is completely absorbable within six months.

When it disintegrates, it is replaced by connective tissue, which further strengthens the facial frame. The versatility of this brand of threads lies in the variety of their lengths and diameters, this allows them to be used in various combinations to achieve the best effect.

EVE COG

EVE COG lifting threads from Meditronic DongJun allow for high-quality lifting, reinforcement of the facial oval frame and improve the relief and structure of the skin. EVE COG threads differ from similar products from other manufacturers, first of all, in the high-quality steel (SUS304) from which the needle is made.

The puncture needle is very elastic and flexible, allowing it to easily penetrate the deep, middle and upper layers of the subcutaneous epidermis, and perform manipulations up and down and left and right.

The thread is made of high quality polydioxanone, the thread is thick enough, the needle is long, allowing you to hold the thread comfortably. Laser sharpened needle. The thread is additionally polished, which avoids the “sawing” effect when the thread passes through the fabric.

VERSATILE Uni

Ultra-strong threads with notches arranged in a spiral are the latest development in aesthetic medicine. The length of the threads is 50-60 mm. The design of the thread in the shape of a spiral allows it, after tension, to return to its original position, tightening the skin and maintaining lively natural facial expressions. Used to correct the nasolabial triangle, eliminate the network of wrinkles in the eye and eyelid areas.

Comparison of Kogi threads with other types of mesothreads

Today, aesthetic medicine has at its disposal, in addition to Kogi threads, two more types of mesothreads:

1. linear – to rejuvenate the neck line, décolleté area and eliminate the double chin. They are characterized by low cost and ease of installation;
2. spiral – universal threads. The length of such a thread when stretched is from 50 to 60 mm. They are most often used in combination with other types of mesothreads to correct the décolleté area, nasolabial folds, and fine age wrinkles.

The figure shows the types of Kogi threads for face lifting.

Kogi threads differ from them in a more pronounced quick result, thanks to the notches. These notches, like anchors, hook and pull the tissue, reducing and securing the treated area. The excellent lifting effect from the introduction of Kogi threads can last from 3 to 5 years.

In addition, the advantage of Kogi threads is their biodegradation - Kogi threads dissolve in the body over time, breaking down into carbon dioxide and water, and are completely eliminated from the body. These threads are absolutely hypoallergenic and compatible with other drugs and plastic medicine techniques.

Features of the rehabilitation period when using Kogi threads

Kogi threads for face lift should take root well after installation. Proper rehabilitation is half the success of the procedure for implanting Kogi threads.

The following rules must be observed:

1. On the day of thread insertion, you should avoid hot and hard foods;
2. After installation, do not touch your face with your hands, refrain from any facial expressions;
3. Using cold compresses on bruises and hematomas that have formed;
4. In the first week, wash your face with soft gels that do not contain alcohol, abrasives or acids;
5. In the first three days, wipe the puncture sites two to three times a day with an antiseptic recommended by your doctor;
6. Sleep on your back for two weeks, preferably with your head elevated;
7. Give up decorative cosmetics for a week;
8. Avoid direct sunlight for two weeks, do not visit the solarium;
9. Do not visit the swimming pool, bathhouse or sauna for two weeks, do not wash your face with hot water, or steam your face;
10. Avoid strenuous physical activity for three weeks;
11. Stop drinking alcohol for two to three weeks.

If you follow these simple rules, the rehabilitation process is easy and painless and the threads take root better.

Side effects

Despite the absolute naturalness and hypoallergenic nature of the material from which the threads are made and the low traumatic nature of the procedure, When using them, some side effects and complications are possible:

1. "Accordion" effect. The needle must be inserted into the subcutaneous fat layer strictly in a certain direction, along pre-marked massage lines. At the slightest deviation from the desired direction, the thread will wrinkle, this forms a fold that does not disappear even after the mesothreads are reabsorbed. To correct the resulting defect, one has to resort to abdominal or laser plastic surgery;
2. An inflammatory process, even necrosis, may occur if the puncture site is infected;
3. Formation of tubercles on the skin if the thread is not straightened out properly;
4. For deep facial and age wrinkles, deep ptosis, the use of Kogi threads may not give the desired result.

Kogi threads, despite their effectiveness and apparent ease of installation, are not a panacea, a kind of magic remedy for a facelift. You should not expect miracles; the method may not be effective in cases of severe age-related changes, severely sagging skin, large jowls, and deep wrinkles.

In such cases, you have to resort to abdominal or laser plastic surgery. Only an experienced cosmetologist can correctly determine what the skin needs and prescribe the correct treatment.

Facelift with 4D threads:

Application of barbed threads:

Thread lifting is a method of modern face lifting performed using special medical threads. A lightweight procedure that does not have any negative consequences leads to a stunning rejuvenation effect in the shortest possible time.

In what cases is the use of threads recommended? ↑

Lifting reinforcement using specialized threads (for example, aptos, or gold threads, which can be seen in photos on the Internet) is very popular in cases where the face has not yet been affected by deep senile changes, and complex surgical intervention can be avoided. Typically, women undergo thread lifting of the aptos type at the age of 40 years, men - from 55-60 years. It is worth noting that everything here strongly depends on the individual characteristics of aging, and on the wishes of the person himself. For some people, even the first couple of wrinkles start to worry them a lot.

Others endure for quite a long time, fearing serious cosmetic procedures such as thread lifting. It is important to understand that thread lifting, including with aptos threads, is recommended specifically for primary face lifting, and the reinforcement does not have noticeable side effects.

Strict recommendations for filleting (with aptos threads or another brand) are the following types of violations:

1. Ptosis of the zygomatic part of the face;
2. The appearance of “folds of sadness” in the corners of the mouth;
3. Sagging cheek muscles;
4. Powerful folds in the nasolabial area;
5. Severe general facial wrinkles;
6. Presence of a secondary chin.

Lifting allows you to easily solve all the problems presented, with a minimum of cost and effort - the patient will not recognize himself in an old photo.

Advantages of thread lifting ↑

Thread lifting performed using Aptos threads has many advantages. The main advantage of this method is comparative safety and ease of face reinforcement. Facial reinforcement is a fairly simple operation that does not require much effort on the part of a specialist, including in the case of aptos. Low costs with maximum effect, as well as a short recovery period, make thread lifting a very attractive procedure for everyone.

Video about the pros and cons of the procedure:

Another advantage of this rejuvenation method, such as a facelift with threads, is the naturalness of the results. Reinforcement of the facial area is only a weak adjustment, which does not lead to distortion of the original shapes, but only sets the general framework for further fiber growth. It’s not for nothing that the main effect of lifting with Aptos-type threads occurs within a period of several months after surgery, as serial photographs of patients show. The face restores its previous shape, without disturbing the native structure.

Thus, we can confidently emphasize the obvious advantages of lifting with threads, including aptos:

1. low cost and simple reinforcement procedure;
2. resorption of all unnatural materials, and restoration of the previous state of the face (especially characteristic of aptos);
3. quite powerful and long-lasting effect;
4. quick rehabilitation, absence of serious surgical injuries.

It should be noted that this method has many variations (from aptos to meso threads), which allow cosmetologists to select the most suitable type of threads for a particular patient. An individual approach has a positive effect on the result.

Types of lifting threads ↑

Threads for face lifting, as well as the methods of their introduction, strongly depend on the material of manufacture. It is by the substance that is used as a reinforcement element that different types of threads are characterized. Historically, the thinnest wires made of precious metals were the first to be used in cosmetology for tightening purposes.

Later, many modern synthetic polymer materials appeared, including Aptos. The most innovative is the use of biological substances of low allergenicity, and those closest to natural analogues are the aptos type. Accordingly, lifting threads are divided into three classes, depending on their independent resorption in the human body:

1. non-absorbable (metal, Teflon) – gold thread, Gore-Tex;
2. absorbable (biopolymer) – Happy Lift, 3D Mesothreads, Aptos;
3. partially absorbable (having a combined composition) – Silhouette Lift;

Structurally, any lifting thread, including aptos, is a very thin wire up to 20 cm long, which has many notches along its entire length, facilitating strong fixation with the surrounding tissue. In addition, there are special anchor systems at the ends of the wire, which allow you to reliably strengthen the thread when stretched.

As a rule, the two extreme points of fixation of the same aptos thread are located at the border of the dermis and subcutaneous fat layer. The notches along the length take root between the tissue cells gradually, increasing the tension. A facelift with threads takes place over several months.

Non-absorbable gold threads ↑

Gold threads for face lifting were invented relatively long ago, so they gained wide popularity among cosmetologists and patients, and also received many positive reviews. Today, the use of ordinary metal wires is considered a somewhat archaic method of rejuvenation, but, nevertheless, this method is still in demand.

The main advantage of threads made of precious metals is their high physical and biochemical stability. In addition, gold is extremely hypoallergenic and practically never causes adverse reactions of an immunological nature.

Nowadays, the technology for using metal threads has been somewhat modified - most often, the gold thread itself is wound in a spiral on a polymer base with a thickness of no more than 0.1 mm. Over time, the base dissolves - by that time, most of the work on reinforcing the facial area will be completed - the patient will be able to compare his old and new photos.

Aptos absorbable threads ↑

Following the appearance of metal wires for lifting, the world of cosmetology was enriched with another type of lifting threads - Aptos. The basis for any soluble Aptos thread was, at first, classical polymer structures prone to long-term decomposition - for example, polypropylene. This material has been actively used in medicine for more than half a century, has low allergenicity, and has proven itself as an effective means for thread lifting.

Video about lifting with this type of thread:

Somewhat later, biopolymer absorbable Aptos threads appeared, which were based on long fibers of caprolactic acid. The undeniable advantage of the new aptos material was its proximity to natural biochemical structures. In addition, when the caprolactone filament of Aptos disintegrates, lactic acid molecules are gradually released into the surrounding tissue, which significantly stimulates the regeneration of elastic fibers of the subcutaneous muscle layer.

The standard Aptos thread, a photo of which can easily be found on the Internet and is inexpensive, is represented by an extended structure with many tiny serifs that unfold at the point of fixation, facilitating closer contact with the tissue. The tension effect appears after 2-4 weeks.

At the same time, the Aptos thread completely dissolves over several years, leaving no trace or side effects. A given facelift lasts up to 6 years (when using polypropylene), or up to 3 years (caprolactone thread).

Combined thread Silhouette Lift ↑

In essence, Silhouette Lift type threads are also absorbable, since their base completely disappears from the injection site within several years. However, the process of dissolving combined threads occurs in several stages, and has a slightly different secondary effect.

The central part of the Silhouette Lift thread is made of ordinary medical polypropylene. But at the same time, in addition to the standard length fixation notches, such a thread has special stretch cones. This auxiliary element consists of polylactic acid, and initially serves to enhance the reinforcement effect through additional fixation.

After a year and a half, polylactate completely dissolves and passes into the surrounding cells in the form of lactic acid. As is known, this acid is a strong stimulator of the production of elastic fibers by special cells - fibroblasts. Therefore, the dissolution of the cones of the lifting thread leads to a powerful surge of neocollagenesis in the muscular aponeurotic layer.

Over the following years, the polypropylene slowly dissolves, but natural new collagen and elastin fibers grow in its place. Thus, after years, the combined thread, in essence, completely disappears, but instead a similar network of natural elastin threads is formed, which helps maintain the tightening effect for up to seven years, which is clearly visible in the photos of people who have undergone the procedure with similar threads. Due to this long-lasting action, combined threads are deservedly considered the most profitable method of such an operation as facial reinforcement.

3D Mesothread System ↑

Separately, it is worth mentioning the use of so-called mesothreads as a lifting base, which are distinguished by their relatively low cost and good effect. Mesothread is a common suture surgical cord consisting of biocompatible polydioxanone.

Video demonstration of the method and result:

A special feature of the use of mesothreads in lifting is the non-standard method of insertion: the thread is pulled between the tissues using a special flexible steel needle, up to 0.3 mm thick. This allows you to do without fixing notches (the mezzanine itself is absolutely smooth), and also allows the cosmetologist to more comfortably control the process of laying the reinforcing thread.

As a result, mesothreads can correct more complex areas where conventional wire cannot be strengthened. The further mechanism of action of any mesothread is similar to the mechanism of conventional absorbable threads. Polydioxanone decomposes without a trace within one year. The method of inserting mesothreads is surgically more complex and traumatic, but it has its admirers who leave positive reviews.

Technique for thread lifting ↑

Thread lifting surgery is quite simple. The total duration of reinforcement does not exceed one hour, even in the case of complex facelift work. During the lifting, the surgeon makes special microscopic incisions in the temporal part of the head - under the skin of this area there is a strong, immovable muscle fascia, which serves as the starting anchor point for the threads.

The cords themselves are pulled under the skin, along the face to the cheekbones, where they are brought out and strengthened. The tracing of the threads depends on the necessary adjustment - depending on what effect needs to be created, the threads run in different numbers and along different tracks. As a rule, before the operation, the cosmetologist models the future modification of the face on a computer, coordinating it with the patient.

At the end of the procedure, no scars remain - only small incision wounds on the scalp. And a special cream, according to reviews, allows you to get rid of any reminders of surgery in the shortest possible time.

Postoperative period ↑

In the absence of individual contraindications, thread lifting surgery is extremely easy to tolerate and does not cause any problems. This procedure should be treated with caution in the presence of serious systemic diseases, especially autoimmune and allergic ones.

In all other cases, thread lifting does not lead to the development of any problems. In rare cases, according to reviews, with particularly sensitive skin, multiple small hematomas may appear, but they quickly disappear. Within 1-2 hours after the operation, a cold compress and a special ointment are applied to the patient’s face to quickly heal the incisions; after which you can go home.

Complete rehabilitation takes about 2-3 days, during which the following basic rules must be observed:

1. avoid eating very hot or cold food;
2. preferably sleep on your back;
3. limit personal contact with any objects and substances;
4. If possible, reduce facial stress.

In addition, for a month after the operation it is not recommended to visit gyms, baths, swimming pools, or any activities related to active sports. It is also better to exclude physical activity that leads to blood flow to the upper body, as reviews advise.

Prices for thread lifting services ↑

The cost of thread lifting depends mainly on the material of the facial thread. In addition, some threads require a special approach to the operation, for example, the use of auxiliary needles, which leads to an overall increase in the cost of the procedure.

The area undergoing lifting also plays an important role - since a large area requires a whole thread network. On average, prices in Moscow for an operation such as a thread facelift are presented in this table:

Prices are indicated for one thread of standard length (20 cm) - the exact number of required strands is strictly individual.

Thread face lifting - pros and cons of rejuvenation techniques

Our readers successfully use Biorecin to eliminate wrinkles. Seeing how popular this product is, we decided to bring it to your attention.
Read more here...

Scientists around the world regularly delight women with new products in the field of anti-aging cosmetology. One of the striking examples is Marlene and Georgy Sulamanidze. In 1996, these Russian plastic surgeons proposed a new oval tightening technique, the popularity of which continues to this day. Thread face lifting, you can find out the pros and cons of the procedure, indications and contraindications further.

Features of the technology

Facial rejuvenation with threads, tightening of contours and individual problem areas of the skin is widely popular among women of different ages. The procedure consists of structuring a new frame using special threads directly in the internal tissues of the epidermis. Subsequently, connective fibers form on them, holding the contours in a tightened position.

To speed up the process of tissue renewal after rehabilitation, it is recommended to use cosmetics made from natural essential oils, tightening gymnastic exercises, and classical massage.

There are several types of procedure, depending on the material. The following types of facial threads are used:

1. self-absorbable - made from complex lactic acids. Such threads are convenient because they dissolve after a certain period of time, when the formation of a framework of cells is already completed;
2. non-absorbable - the material used is synthetic fibers (Teflon threads) or precious metals (Aptos gold threads). They do not dissolve and remain in the layers of the epidermis for the remaining years. Such materials are suitable for rejuvenating problem areas that require intensive, decisive skin tightening (especially common for the neck and décolleté);
3. combined type - combines the previous two. They partially dissolve, but the core of the thread remains, which supports the resulting cellular framework.

Advantages and disadvantages of the procedure

Like any cosmetic rejuvenating procedure, thread face lifting also has pros and cons.

The main advantages of this technique include:

1. thread lifting takes little time and does not require preliminary preparation;
2. skin tightening without changing the shape of the contours and their features, maintaining the natural appearance of the face;
3. the procedure can solve the problems of the most sensitive areas around the eyes and get rid of drooping eyelids;
4. preservation of the effect for 3-5 years;
5. short rehabilitation period (5 days);
6. no traces, scars, scars remain;
7. It is allowed to perform thread lifting of the face after 50 years;
8. after the procedure, the patient immediately goes home;
9. allowed to be combined with other salon techniques (mesotherapy, RF lifting).

Painful sensations in the tightened areas, slight swelling and hematomas are acceptable phenomena. When the skin recovers (this will take about 5-7 days), the side effects will disappear. Increase your walks in the fresh air and consume anti-aging foods in your diet (you will learn about them here). This will speed up the disappearance of symptoms.

Indications and contraindications

The thread technique will help solve such disturbing skin defects as:

1. blurred oval face;
2. deepening of wrinkles in the area of ​​the nose, mouth, chin, large forehead folds;
3. sagging eyelids and eyebrow edges;
4. aging of facial tissues with obvious signs of changes in contours;
5. the need to correct and smooth out folds in any area of ​​the face.

Thread lifting is not allowed under the following facts:

1. excess, sagging skin on the face;
2. age under 28, over 55 years;
3. contraindications from diseases of the circulatory system, diabetes, AIDS or oncology;
4. allergic intolerance to certain drugs used for tightening;
5. pregnancy, lactation period.

How is the thread rejuvenation process performed?

Thread lifting does not take more than 1 hour. The duration of the procedure depends on the number of areas requiring correction.

Be sure to consult your doctor before threading. The cosmetologist will determine problem areas, the need for correction using the thread method, study the body’s allergic reactions to drugs, and listen to your preferences. If there are contraindications, the doctor will suggest other rejuvenation techniques. For example, elos technology for restoring a youthful face, which you can read about here.

Local anesthesia is then performed. General anesthesia is allowed, but only at the request of the client.

The process itself is as follows:

1. A puncture is made in the temporal part, where the material is injected.
2. The thread is passed through the inner layers of the epidermis and brought out through a second puncture.
3. To tighten the tissue, the thread is pulled in the opposite direction. The notches on the threads pick up the fabric and pull it into the desired position.
4. The main task of a cosmetologist is to accurately and correctly determine the places where the thread is fixed. These are usually the original glasses, so there is no need to worry about deformation changes.

In addition, the cosmetologist talks with the patient, gives advice on skin care for the next 5-10 days, and strongly recommends avoiding tanning, bath procedures, and self-massage.

At the first signs of deterioration in the condition of the skin tissue, immediately contact your doctor for examination!

When a woman turns 50, the aging process usually begins to accelerate significantly. They appear on the face as follows: wrinkles appear (or existing ones deepen), cheeks sag and age spots may appear.

Aging processes sometimes progress so much that they can cause depression.

A facelift after 50 is recommended for those who:
• New, more expressive and deeper wrinkles have appeared.
• Small ridges on the face have become more noticeable (in women).
• Pigment spots have become more pronounced.
• The skin has lost its elasticity, the eyelids droop and hang over the eyes.
• The facial contour is less defined than before.

Of course, it will not be possible to return youth, but by using one of the methods of skin lifting, you can get a fairly good and lasting effect.

Contraindications

Currently, rejuvenation procedures are not a problem, you just have to choose the one that’s right for you, taking into account all the pros and cons.

Contraindications to serious interventions in your appearance may be:
• diseases of the cardiovascular system,
• blood clotting problems,
• hypertension,
• presence of oncology.

It is also not recommended to carry out any procedures during pregnancy, skin inflammation, or herpes.

Types of lifts for aging skin

There are several ways to rejuvenate facial skin after 50 years:
• Operating.
• Hardware.
• Traditional methods.
• Cosmetic.

Surgical lift

Those who are not afraid of the surgical method of facelift should contact an experienced surgeon who will help correct problem areas on the face and neck, which, as is known, immediately reveals a woman’s age. This operation is called a circular facelift.

The entire operation takes place under general anesthesia over several hours. When performing a circular lift, the surgeon performs actions not only on the skin (superficial lifting), but also on the fat layer that is located under the skin, as well as on the muscles (SMAS lifting).

This is followed by a period of recovery and rehabilitation. After a week, the sutures are removed; swelling remains at the site of the procedure, which disappears within several months.

Of course, such a surgical facelift after 50 is a serious intervention, but the result will be facial rejuvenation, which will last for 5-10 years. It is a circular lift performed surgically that is most effective in achieving a lifting effect.

Is being on the operating table and subsequent rehabilitation not for you? Then you can use alternative methods.

Non-surgical methods

If you are afraid of any surgical interventions, cosmetology also offers non-surgical facelift after 50.

It is performed using hardware methods that stimulate collagen production and restore the elasticity of the skin. It is worth going through several sessions, and you will get a lasting result, since these manipulations have a deep and quite intense effect on the skin.

The main types of non-surgical facelift methods:

• Radiofrequency lifting. The skin is exposed to low frequency currents, causing the stretched collagen fibers to contract. After just a few sessions, molecules of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen begin to be produced. The RF lifting procedure lasts for 1 year, with 5-6 sessions.

• Laser rejuvenation (dermabrasion, thermolysis, nanoperforation, biorevitalization). Laser treatment of the skin eliminates age-related changes in the skin, increases tone and elasticity. For greater effect, it is recommended to take 2-3 courses.

• Hyaluronic acid injections will help maintain skin elasticity, this will require 1-2 sessions every 6-12 months.

• Electrotherapy – the effect of low frequency currents on the dermis.

• Plasmolifting – during the procedure, plasma obtained from the client’s blood and filled with platelets is injected subcutaneously. For a good effect, 2-4 sessions and 1-2 courses of procedures every year are enough to keep the skin toned.

• Photorejuvenation – the use of various light sources (intense), with the help of which the production of collagen and elastin in the skin is enhanced. 1-2 sessions are enough.

• Vector type of lifting - this type of facelift after 50 years without surgery is performed using hyaluronic acid reinforcement of soft tissues. The drug is administered into problem areas on the face along specially selected geometric lines shaped like diamonds.

• The procedure with the introduction of botulinum toxins is a kind of non-surgical lifting, the drugs for which are: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin. Helps reduce muscle spasms, smooth out wrinkles, and tighten sagging facial contours.

• Thread lifting – threads are non-absorbable and biodegradable (silhouette lift); surgical threads; threads equipped with small notches (APTOS), mesothreads (trend lifting). 1 procedure is enough to maintain the result for 2 years.

According to experts, many of the non-surgical lifting methods are a worthy alternative to methods of rejuvenating the face and body using surgery. Almost each of them uses the ability of skin cells to self-heal and renew collagen fibers.
