Threadlift is used for treating mild aging signs on the face. With age, the human face loses collagen, and the facial support system gets weakened. As a result, cheeks, eye brows, lower eyelid areas, jowls and neck begin to droop, giving an aged appearance. To overcome this aged look, there are many facial treatments available, out of which threadlift is a popular option.
What Is Threadlift?
Threadlift is a procedure that uses barbed threads for lifting the sagging facial regions, and anchors them to the layer under facial skin. This process does not involve any incisions or stitches, and hence no need to worry about the scarring problems. However, the results produced by this method are subtler and milder. So, it will be suitable only for people with minimal aging spots and wrinkles. If it has to be used for older people with remarkable age spots, then it has to be combined with certain other treatments to get better or optimum results. Some of the treatments that can be combined with thread lift procedure are given below.
Facelift Surgery
Facelift surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to enhance the facial features and provide a younger looking face. There are many types of surgery options available in this, which when combined with threadlift can produce stellar effects. Depending on the region where you want lifting results, various procedures like blepharoplasty, forehead lift, chin surgery and neck lifts are available. For example, Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery done to rectify the nerve damage or to correct the disproportional or oversized eyelids. Forehead lift is performed to treat furrows and deep lines in the forehead region. Neck lift is generally combined with other facial procedures in order to achieve a rejuvenated neck.
Facial Implants
Facial implants are suitable for you if you have disproportional facial features or you want to accentuate your cheekbones. Implants are inserted in front of the chin, jaw, cheeks or other facial areas to give a youthful look to the face.
Thermage
This is a non-surgical, skin tightening procedure done with the help of radio waves. This can just uplift the facial features. Hence, it can be done along with threadlift to get better results. In this process, radio waves help to tighten the skin of different areas like face, arms, legs, stomach, knees and butt. This can also reduce the wrinkles and enhance the facial contours.
Liquid Facelift
In order to fill the hollows in the facial areas, certain FDA-approved injectable dermal fillers are used so that deep wrinkles and crease lines are eliminated. Some of the commonly used fillers are Botox, Restlylane, Radiesse and Juvederm®. These fillers fill the hollow and give a full and plump appearance to the face. But, when these fillers are dispersed, once again the sagging skin will reappear.
Maintenance of the skin with regular skin care regime is more important even after undergoing these facial rejuvenation treatments. Some simple skin care tips, like avoiding or reducing sun exposure, eating a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water may help you to maintain the facial lift’s effects on your skin.
