FAQ  about Yastrid Face Lifting Threads：

Q1: What are face lifting threads?

Thread lifting is a minimally invasive medical aesthetic procedure that uses absorbable sutures inserted into the face or body to treat wrinkles and lift sagging skin. This procedure is considered a safe option for those who are not willing to undergo a surgical facelift, as it allows for facial lifting effects without the associated risks.

Face lifting threads also are called collagen threads in the face. There are three types of sutures available on the market: PDO threads, PCL threads, and PLLA threads. In terms of product shapes, the facial threading thread can be divided  into mono threads, barbed threads, screw threads and press cog threads and etc.  Among them, PDO has the shortest duration, lasting approximately 6 months to 1 year. On the other hand, PCL and PLLA have a longer dissolution time, ranging from 2 to 3 years. Naturally, they are more expensive compared to PDO.

Q2: How do face lifting threads work?

As a 100% absorbable suture, the face lifting threads initially are used in surgical procedures for wound closure. Once implanted into the skin tissue, they stimulates the production of collagen, restoring skin firmness and rejuvenating the complexion.

Furthermore, there is a type of suture with barbs, it’s called cog thread or barbed threads, it’s special for v-lifting. When inserted by the practitioners into the skin tissue, barbed threads wound lift the skin tissue slightly, positioning it to the desired location, achieving the facial lifting effect.

Face lifting threads are completely safe and free of side effects, allowing for their confident and secure use. The effects appear immediately after the thread lifting procedure. These effects reach their peak three to six months after the thread implantation as the dissolution and absorption process takes place.

Even after complete dissolution, your skin will maintain a relatively good condition for a certain period, avoiding sudden rebound or drastic decline.

Q3: What is the difference between facial threading and dermal filler injection?

Firstly, in terms of the effects they produce:

Dermal filler injections mainly provide fullness and plumpness to the face, resulting in a subtle facial lift effect. On the other hand, face lifting threads can achieve a mild to moderate lifting effect on sagging facial areas.

Secondly, in terms of the duration of the effects:

Dermal filler injections typically last from six months to one and a half years, while the effects of face lifting threads last longer, approximately 2 to 3 years.

Finally, considering the recovery period:

After dermal filler injections, patients can resume normal activities immediately. However, after thread lifting, patients can regain most of their regular activities within a week but should avoid strenuous activities and extensive facial movements during that time.

Q4: What is the difference between facial threading and surgical facelifts?

Compared to facelift surgery, the advantages of thread lifting are quite evident.

First, thread lifting involves lower risks and is less traumatic.

Second, the recovery period is extremely short, with patients being able to resume normal activities within approximately three days and fully recover within about a week.

However, compared to facelift surgery, the effects of face lifting threads are subtle and temporary, lasting only between 6 months to 3 years. In contrast, facelift surgery can maintain its effects for up to ten years.

Q5: How long do face lifting threads’ results appear?

Generally, after a facial threading procedure, the lifting effect begins immediately because cosmetic threads anchor to the skin tissue and are re-positioned according to the operator’s intentions.

However, it takes about two weeks for the full lifting effect to appear. When the protein threads dissolve and get absorbed, they stimulate the continuous production of proteins, enhancing the facial lifting effect. The process needs some time.

For scar removal or achieving tighter skin and wrinkle reduction, you need to be patient because it may take up to three months for the effects to become noticeable and significant.

Q6: How long do facial lifting threads’ result last?

The duration of the effects of collagen strings in the face depends on the material of the sutures used. For example, PDO threads typically last between six months to one year, while PCL and PLLA threads can maintain their effects for about two to three years.

Of course, the effectiveness also varies depending on the patient’s constitution. Different individuals have different absorption rates, resulting in varying duration of effect.

For those who wish to speed up the dissolution and absorption of PDO threads, techniques such as heating or massaging can be employed to push the process and achieve faster results.

Q7: Are face lifting threads visible under the skin?

No.

In general, face lifting threads are not visible after being implanted into the skin. However, in some cases, inexperienced doctors may place the threads in the wrong position, causing the shape and color of the threads to be visible through the superficial skin layer.

And when using thread lifting to relieve dark circles under the eyes, most practitioners use white PCL thraeds instead of blue PDO threads. The reason is that the thin skin around eyes can cause the blue color of PDO threads to show through, potentially affecting the improvement results.

Q8: Is facial threading painful?

Although facial threading is a minimally invasive procedure, it involves piercing the skin. As a result, there may be redness, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which usually appear within a week.

Regarding the pain caused by face lifting threads, most individuals find it tolerable. Practitioners typically administer local anesthesia before the thread implantation, which may cause some slight discomfort during the injection. However, once the anesthesia takes effect, the face becomes numb, and patients do not feel pain during the thread lifting procedure.

Based on others’ experiences, it is noted that threading near the lips may cause slightly more intense discomfort compared to other areas.

Q9: How to relieve the pain caused by face lifting threads?

During the facial threading procedure, practitioners will perform local facial anesthesia to minimize the pain. In fact, some individuals may not feel any pain at all during the threading process.

After the procedure, once the anesthesia wears off, patients can use ice packs to alleviate discomfort or take some pain relievers. The pain typically subsides on its own within three to seven days. If the pain persists beyond this period, it is important to promptly communicate and seek treatment with the thread lifting doctor.

Q10: Does facial threading make the face frozen?

No, facial threading does not result in an overly tight or numb facial appearance where expressions are limited. The nature of the face lifting threads does not interfere with facial expressions. After being inserted, they gradually dissolve and are absorbed by the facial tissues, without causing any “frozen” effect on the face.

On the contrary, the effects of facial lifting procedures are subtle and natural, offering patients a nice appearance that looks natural and not stiff.

At last, during the absorption process, the threads continuously stimulate the production of proteins, making the skin smoother and more elastic over time.

Q11: When do face lifting threads start to dissolve?

After the thread lifting procedure, the threads in the facial or body area typically begin to dissolve around one month.

During the gradual dissolution process, the skin slowly generates collagen, maintaining its elasticity. The exact time of dissolution can vary depending on the patient’s constitution and the external temperature on the face.

Generally, higher temperatures lead to faster thread dissolution. Additionally, massaging the face can also accelerate the dissolution and absorption of the threads.

Q12: Five don’ts after facial thread lifting.

1, Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, dental treatments, and vaccinations one week before the procedure.

Because these can affect the skin’s healing ability. Dental treatments, in particular, can have a significant impact on post-operative healing.

2, Do not take medication without consulting your doctor at least one day before the procedure, especially blood-thinning medications, to prevent any unexpected issues on the day of the surgery.

3, Do not apply makeup within 12 hours after the procedure, as it can interfere with wound healing and potentially lead to inflammation and infection.

4, Avoid sleeping on your side for the first few days after the procedure. When people side sleep can put excessive pressure on the facial skin, affecting wound healing and potentially altering the position of the threads, thereby affecting the final face lifting result.

5, Don’t touch the needle insertion sites on your face, and avoid making exaggerated facial expressions or engaging in significant facial movements in the days following the procedure. This can prevent the threads from shifting or impacting wound healing.

Q13: Five dos after facial thread lifting.

1, Be mentally prepared and maintain a positive attitude.

Although thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure, having a stable mindset is crucial for recovery, so keep a calm and positive outlook.

2, Within 24 hours after the procedure, you can apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising caused during the thread implantation. You can also take appropriate medication to aid in the healing of bruising, which typically resolves within a week.

3, Stay in contact with your doctor, allowing them to monitor your body or facial recovery and promptly address any unusual conditions that may arise.

4, Maintain a balanced diet, incorporating plenty of vegetables and fruits to supply essential vitamins for skin recovery. Keep a regular sleep schedule, as proper rest is a key factor in the speed of recovery. Ensure you get high-quality sleep.

5, Pay attention to facial miniaturization. Just like how fitness goals require both going to the gym and watching your daily diet, maintaining facial youthfulness and beauty is not solely dependent on a single procedure. Regular skin care and hydration are essential for preserving the effects of thread lifting.

Q14: Will there be any swelling or stitches at the incision site?

It is normal to experience swelling and bruising in the three days to one week after the procedure, but they generally subside with time. If you want external assistance for healing, you can take certain medications, such as bromelain.

After the thread lifting procedure, there won’t be visible stitches on the face. The threads used are buried within the skin tissue.

The only visible mark is a small entry point for the thread, which is very tiny. A small bandage is applied after the procedure and can be removed after two to three days. Remember not to let the incision site come into contact with water within the first 24 hours after the procedure.

Q15: How long does the thread lifting procedure typically last?

The duration of the thread lifting procedure depends on the specific treatment areas for each patient.

For patients aiming to achieve wrinkle reduction on areas such as the forehead and cheeks, using smooth or spiral threads, the procedure time usually ranges from 10 to 20 minutes. Including facial design, disinfection, and anesthesia, the whole process takes approximately half an hour, which is very rapid.

For nose treatments, the entire procedure can be completed in about half an hour.

If the treatment covers the entire face, including a full-face V-lift, wrinkle reduction around the eyes, and filling of nasolabial folds, it may take one to two hours.

However, it’s important to note that inexperienced practitioners may take longer for the thread lifting procedure.

Q16: How to correct wrongly placed face lifting threads?

Scenario 1: If face lifting threads have migrated, they are usually not removed. Instead, new threads can be inserted to correct the issue. Thread migration is often caused by the quality of the threads or the technique used during the procedure.

Scenario 2: If the face develops wrinkles or folds due to the face lifting threads, it is best to consult your doctor promptly. In most cases, the doctor will recommend removing these threads to restore the face to its normal state.

Scenario 3: If bruising and swelling occur, immediate application of a cold compress for about half an hour can be helpful.

Q17: How many threads are needed to lift droopy skin?

Q18: How often can you get face lifting threads?

The frequency of thread lifting depends on the material used for the threads.

Generally, the second treatment can be performed after the threads have completely dissolved. The results of the second treatment are usually slightly better than the first one due to a certain degree of cumulative effect. Besides, after two thread lifting procedures, the interval for the third treatment can be slightly extended because the results of the second treatment last longer.

Q19: How to choose the brand of face lifting threads?
