The shape of our faces changes as we get older. In particular, as the facial fatty tissue deflates, the midface loses volume. As gravity pulls these midfacial fat pads downward, they likewise sink. To help your face look younger again, Dynasty Dermatology provides thread lifting in Pasadena, CA.

Lift and Tighten Sagging Skin Without Surgery or Downtime

Up until recently, the only options were filler and surgery to help restore a more youthful face. Not everyone is willing or interested in having surgery. On the other hand, fillers may last for only a few months. Thread lifting is a great “in-between” option other than surgery or fillers.

Thread lifting is a minimally invasive technique performed in an office setting that creates a modest lift in the midface using temporary stitches. To suspend, lift, and tighten the cheeks and jowls, a tiny entry site is created and the stitching thread is advanced beneath the skin. This is contrary to a facelift, which involves a big incision and a skin incision.

In the clinic, the short procedure takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes. The threads have the extra advantage of stimulating the development of collagen in the face, although they are dissolvable sutures and usually dissolve after six months. Long after the sutures have been absorbed, collagen nourishes our skin, keeps it looking young, and prolongs the thread’s effects for more than a year.

What Are the Benefits of a Thread Lift?

Without a doubt, the best way to look younger is by facelift surgery. However, the downtime involved with a facelift is a major disadvantage for some individuals. It’s a general anesthesia surgical operation that will take one to two weeks off work to recover.

On the other hand, thread lifting has a relatively light recovery. General anesthesia is substituted with local anesthetic (lidocaine). After the treatment, there is some redness and swelling, but most patients may go back to work the same day. Patients with hectic schedules will find this to be appropriate and effective.
