What to Expect During a Thread Lift Procedure

February 2, 2024

A thread lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and or neck. During the procedure, Master Nurse Injector Naomi Myhre will use thin threads made of biodegradable materials to lift and suspend the skin in targeted areas.


Prior to the procedure, a consultation with Nurse Naomi is typically conducted to discuss the patient's goals and expectations. The patient's skin will be examined to determine whether a thread lift is a suitable option.

 

Naomi will then make small incisions in the skin and insert the threads through a hollow needle. The threads will be carefully positioned to lift and tighten the skin in specific areas, and then anchored in place and trimmed, with minimal to no pain.

After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity and sun exposure for a few weeks following the procedure. The results of the thread lift are usually visible immediately, but the full effects may take several weeks to appear as the threads stimulate collagen production and the skin adjusts to its new position.


While a thread lift is generally considered safe, it is an advanced procedure that should only be performed by a plastic surgeon or certified nurse, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications. 

Overall, a thread lift is a quick and relatively simple procedure that can provide noticeable results with minimal downtime. Patients should ensure they have realistic expectations, and discuss all aspects of the procedure with their nurse prior to making a decision.


Summary Benefits of Thread Lift procedure: 


Non-surgical Enhancement: A thread lift is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery. It can provide a lifting and tightening effect without the need for general anesthesia, extensive incisions, or prolonged recovery time.


Quick Procedure: The procedure typically takes about an hour to complete, making it a convenient option for patients with busy schedules.


Minimal Downtime: Patients can usually return to their normal activities within a few days following the procedure. Any minor side effects such as swelling, bruising or discomfort, are typically mild and temporary.


Natural-looking Results: A thread lift can provide a natural-looking improvement in the appearance of sagging skin, with results that can last up to 18 months or longer. The lifting effect will vary depending on the individual, the number of threads used, and the specific areas treated.


Stimulates Collagen Production: The threads used in a thread lift procedure are typically made of biodegradable materials, such as polydioxanone (PDO). These threads stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that is essential for skin elasticity and firmness, providing longer-lasting results.


Customizable: A thread lift can be customized to target specific areas of the face or neck, providing a personalized approach to facial rejuvenation.


It's important to note that the benefits of a thread lift procedure may vary depending on the individual, their skin condition, and their desired outcomes.
