How does a thread lift work?
A thread lift is usually performed by a dermatologist, naturopath or beautician on an outpatient basis or under local anaesthetic. Two threads are usually used, each requiring two stitches. The thread enters on one side and exits on the other. The operation is completed after an average of around 40 minutes. In the past, special gold threads were used. In the meantime, these have been replaced by a material that dissolves itself and that the body can break down completely over time.
Is thread lifting a high-risk treatment?
Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure. However, there are risks associated with this treatment and it is not suitable for everyone. Of course, thread lifting can also lead to complications that could have a negative impact on the final result.
The long-term effects of the treatment are not sufficiently known. Late effects may occur under certain circumstances.
- The sutures can only be used to a limited extent for other cosmetic and surgical procedures after the thread lift if they do not dissolve or do not dissolve sufficiently.
- In rare cases, they can cause inflammation. As a result, the wound heals more slowly and the scars remain.
- The sensory perception of the face can change in the long term.
Sculptra treatment is the better alternative at BellaDerma
Sculptra is made up of poly-L-lactic acid and is injected into the skin, which is similar to a hyaluronic acid filler. There it stimulates the cells that produce collagen (called fibroblasts) to restore the body’s own collagen. As a result, the skin tightens and the skin quality is significantly improved. A low-pain treatment means that you will be fit for social life again immediately afterwards. Normally 2-3 sessions are required at intervals of 4 weeks. The final results can be seen after about 12 weeks. The tightening procedure lasts 24 to 25 months.
