Grey hairs can be dyed black but what about wrinkles? Due to lifestyle factors and excessive stress, people are getting wrinkles way before time. This impacts their mental health severely. Furthermore, sometimes, older people find it hard to accept that their bodies are showing signs of aging. Thankfully, there are treatments like thread lift to help in this scenario. 

 

A thread lift treatment in Chandigarh offered by Dr. Ishaa Junejaa is a noninvasive procedure that lifts aging and sagging skin while stimulating collagen production. The doctor put medical-grade thread under the skin to pull it into the right position. It helps give their neck and face a more youthful look. 

 

This blog will further elaborate on what is a thread lift and how it ensures anti-aging. Keep reading to know more.

 

What is a Thread Lift?

 

As already discussed, a thread lift is a nonsurgical treatment that lifts aging and sagging skin while stimulating collagen production. Further, these threads trigger the natural healing response of the body. These threads can come in various lengths and materials. 

 

A thread lift, unlike a facelift, is a nonsurgical surgery that provides subtle results. It's sometimes called a "lunchtime facelift" as it's a short process with little downtime.

 

How Does a Thread Lift Work?

 

  • In this treatment, a skilled skin expert in Chandigarh will use PDO threads to fulfill varied anti-aging goals. 
  • PDO threads can be found in shapes such as smooth, barbed, and even those resembling a honeycomb. 
  • Different shapes provide different results. 
  • Apart from being an alternative to a facelift, it can substitute dermal fillers and Botox as well. 
  • This treatment stimulates elastin and collagen production and provides some immediate lifting. 

 

What does it Treat?

 

  • Volume loss
  • Saggy skin
  • Drooping cheeks
  • Puppet wrinkles or mouth folds
  • Hanging eyebrows
  • Interfering wrinkles
  • The corners of the mouth turn downward
  • Nasolabial furrows or folds.

 

Benefits of a Thread Lift Procedure 

 

  • Since it is a low-risk operation, most individuals can undergo it. 
  • The threads encourage collagen formation, which naturally improves skin suppleness. 
  • As recovery is fast, people can resume their routine straight away. 
  • If the patients are unhappy with the results, the surgeon can remove the threads. 

 

Who Should Get a Thread Lift?

 

A thread lift is not the best alternative to facelifts, bo-tox, and dermal fillers for people regardless of race, gender, or ethnicity. Given below is the list of ideal candidates who must have a facelift: 

 

  • Those in their late 30s or early 50s.
  • People who want to see slight skin improvements. 
  • Those who are facing premature skin aging. 
  • Individuals who do not wish for invasive cosmetic surgery. 
  • Patients who have undergone a facelift or neck lift but now wish to touch up the results. 
  • Those who are mentally and physically fit (however, those with diabetes, heart disease, or hypertension can get it done as they are not deemed fit to undergo the traditional facelift)
  • Those who don’t smoke or drink or take drugs. 

 

A  thread lift treatment in Chandigarh employs threads inserted beneath the skin to generate a more rejuvenated, smoother look. The recovery period is brief, and side effects are minor. Since the effects are transitory and mild, patients may need to repeat the process. 

 

Thread Lift Procedure 

 

The procedure is minimally invasive and is performed as follows: 

 

  • Anesthesia: Most thread lift procedures use anesthesia that numbs the treatment area and provides maximum comfort. 
  • Thread Placements: the surgeon will make tiny incisions within the skin and use a thin and hollow needle. The needle helps insert threads made of non-absorbable or absorbable materials. These threads are carefully positioned underneath the skin and are used to lift and tighten the position. 
  • Thread anchoring: After the threads are located, the surgeon will secure them to the tissue underneath by gently pushing on them. This contributes to the desired tightening and lift.
  • Suture removal: After fastening the threads, any extra thread is cut away, and the wounds are closed with sutures or adhesive strips.

 

Thread lift operations are usually performed as outpatient surgeries, which means patients may go home the following day. After the procedure, one could experience some bruising, swelling, and soreness, but these symptoms should disappear within a few days. Patients should avoid intense activity and other activities that might put pressure on the face for at least a week following the surgery.

 

Why do Patients Love Thread Lift?

 

  • One of the reasons people adore this treatment is because it provides natural outcomes. 
  • The results are natural as they depend on the natural ability to boost elastin, collagen, and elastin production. 
  • Elastin and collagen help in lifting and tightening the skin. 
  • One will look better without having any scars. 

 

For How Long Do the Results Last?

 

When one undertakes this minimally invasive procedure and sees results, they may anticipate them to last between one and three years. While the benefits of this treatment are not as long-lasting as those of a surgical facelift, the good news is that the patients may schedule maintenance sessions to keep the results.

 

How to Maintain the Results for a Long-Term 

 

  • Aside from maintenance checkups, there are additional ways to preserve and extend the benefits of this treatment. 
  • Using the right skincare items, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and applying sunscreen regularly will all help to promote young skin and battle signs of aging.
  • Eating a good diet, avoiding stress, drinking plenty of water, and scheduling in-office skin-perfecting treatments will help patients attain ideal skin health, stimulating sustained collagen synthesis and improving thread lift outcomes.



Results and Recovery 

 

  • The patients get firm and tightened skin after the procedure. 
  • The skin looks naturally rejuvenated and shows improvements in months since the connective tissues are developed. 
  • The results are subtle and temporary. 
  • The patients can go home right after the treatment and carry on with their daily tasks within 24 hours. 
  • They can expect light bruising and swelling around the treated area for about 5 days. 

 

Aftercare Instructions 

 

  • Avoid washing the treated skin with water and soap for the next 24 hours.
  • For a few weeks, avoid using moisturizers. 
  • For several days, avoid wearing makeup. 
  • To avoid infection, finish the antibiotic course as advised. 
  • Sleep in a supine, slightly elevated posture for at least a week.  
  • Never scrape, massage, or rub the treated skin.
  • For three weeks, avoid solariums, sun tanning beds or creams, hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, vigorous workouts, and dentist appointments, as they may loosen the threads.  
  • Avoid massages or cosmetic operations on the treated region for at least a month.
