Non-Surgical Face Lift (Thread Lift)

We lose face fat as we age. Additionally, the framework supporting the face weakens. A secure substitute for a standard facelift cosmetic surgery is a thread lift, which may be used to reshape facial contour and restore a young look. Another name for it is "lunch hour lift." This technique lessens neck, cheek, and jawline drooping. It draws attention to deep nasolabial creases and sagging eyebrows. Thread lift produces little, subtle modifications rather than big ones. At The Aesculpir, get rejuvenation with little downtime and a reasonable thread lift cost in Delhi, so you can confidently embrace a renewed appearance.

What Is a Thread Lift

A thread lift is a cosmetic technique to cure mild neck and face drooping and provide the look of renewed youth. It can be applied to the brow, neck, lower face, or midface. Sagging is removed and the treatment area is raised. It's a non-invasive procedure. Once knotted, the strands are concealed beneath the skin, leaving the scars almost undetectable.

To enhance the texture of the skin, a thread lift procedure at The Aesculpir may be frequently combined with other non-invasive procedures including laser treatments, anti-wrinkle injections, chemical peels PRP therapy ( vampire facelift ).

The professionals at The Aesculpir offer a thread lift treatment in Delhi that will stimulate your body's natural synthesis of collagen and elastin, smooth out face wrinkles, and restore the attractive proportions of your neck and jawline.

These essential proteins give your skin its volume and youthful, supple appearance. Our talented surgeons achieve natural-looking results without requiring surgery by gently lifting sagging face tissues using this cutting-edge procedure. You will observe an instant improvement in your profile's youthfulness and confidence once your thread-lifting procedure is finished. To get proper treatment consult our expert.

How Does Thread Lifting Work?

The process of thread lifting involves inserting specifically made threads beneath your skin's surface to target regions that require the greatest rejuvenation. These threads tighten regions with loose, creepy skin by raising your face skin to a younger-looking position with several tiny barbs. 

The barbs support the structural foundation of your skin while encouraging the development of vital collagen and elastin by your body, which promotes more skin renewal. Along with providing the most competitive thread lift cost in India, The Aesculpir prioritises your comfort by doing the procedure under local anaesthesia so that you can stay relaxed during the entire procedure. 

Types Of Thread Lift

Various types of thread lift techniques would subsequently determine the thread lift treatment cost. The Contour and Aptos thread lifts are the most well-liked among them.

1. Contour thread lift: In this case, the threads are unidirectional and fixed in the initial access region. The drooping skin is raised and tightened, and an incision is created above the hairline to implant the threads.
2. tightening threads: Non-absorbable single-strand threads are utilised in thread lift. To be implanted beneath the skin and serve as cogs to hold the lift, the threads are constructed with bi-directional barbs that point inward towards the mid and outward from the middle of the thread.

Mechanism of Action and Longevity of Thread Lifts

Let us know about the mechanism of action and longevity of thread lifts:

Mechanical Lift: Barbs and Anchoring

Thread lifts use absorbable filaments. These are usually PDO, PLLA, and PCL, which are equipped with tiny barbs or cones. These are inserted beneath the skin via fine needles or blunt cannulas. The threads produce an immediate lifting effect by physically suspending sagging areas when they are anchored into the soft tissue (usually the SMAS layer).

Collagen Biostimulation: The Science Behind the Lift

Collagen biostimulation serves as the science behind the lift. Here is how it works:

• Foreign‑body reaction: The threads’ presence triggers a mild inflammatory response. This recruits macrophages and fibroblasts, which in turn generate collagen types I and III around the thread.
• Neocollagenesis timeline: Studies show that PDO, PLLA, and PCLL threads all effectively increase dermal collagen density. Amongst these, PCL shows the strongest collagen increase.

The newly produced collagen forms the scaffold that supports tissues long after the threads dissolve.

Material Degradation vs. Longevity

Let us have a look at the material degradation and longevity attributed to thread lifts:

Thread Type	Dissolves In	Peak Collagen Stim	Duration of Benefit
PDO	4–6 months	~3 months	12–18 months
PLLA	12–18 months	~4–6 months	Up to 24 months
PCL	18–24 months	~4–8 weeks	Potentially 2–3 years

PCL threads, as mentioned earlier, stand out for their prolonged tensile strength and collagen induction. This makes them especially effective for patients looking for longer-lasting results.

Lifespan of Effect: What Patients Actually Experience

The lifespan of the effect of thread lifts works like this:

• Immediate: Noticeable lift from mechanical effect.
• Weeks 4-8: Collagen accumulation thickens skin.
• Months 4-6: Threads begin to dissolve; skin feels firmer due to collagen scaffold.
• 12-24 months (PDO) / 18–36 months (PLLA/PCL): Continued improvement followed by gradual fading.

Factors That Affect Longevity

Note the following factors that impact the longevity of a thread lift:

• Material selection: PLLA/PCL threads yield longer benefits than PDO.
• Thread design and placement: Multi-directional barbs and placement in SMAS ensure reliable lifting and avoid dimpling or migration.
• Technique and experience: Accurate depth and placement are critical; too shallow yields visible threads, and too deep fails to lift.
• Patient lifestyle and biology: Elasticity, collagen renewal rates, sun exposure, and smoking influence how long effects last.
• Aftercare and retreatments: Periodic maintenance and sun protection extend the thread lift results.

FAQs

Can thread lifts affect future surgical facelifts?

Yes, lifting threads can create scar capsules and tissue shifts. We take extra steps or avoid operating on skin previously worked on when dealing with cog threads. If you are considering a surgical facelift in the future, discuss this detail with your surgeon beforehand. It helps us plan thread placement to minimize interference.

Can too many threads cause contour irregularities or fat loss?

PDO threads may induce local fat loss in some patients. This is particularly true when high thread density is used. However, there is not enough strong evidence showcasing the same effects in the context of PLLA or PCL. Our cosmetic surgeons ensure careful placement depth and thread count to avoid problematic contour changes.

Is collagen stimulated by threads considered healthy or scarring?

Patients using threads long-term show healthy skin with balanced collagen, even when PDO threads may initially spike collagen types associated with scarring. Numerous patients admit to minimal negative scarring and overall good skin conditions.

Can different types of threads be used together?

Yes, they can be. PDO can be strategically used for contouring, while PLLA/PCL is great for structural support. This is a common combination. However, medical-grade liquid PCL mixed with threads is not the best option for some patients. Our protocols ensure safe and effective material combinations that actually yield good results.

How should I care for my skin after a thread lift?

You can take care of your skin after a thread lift by avoiding rubbing or facial massage for about 2-4 weeks. You should avoid strenuous exercise for at least a week as well. In the context of skincare, apply gently in an upward motion and do not forget to use up to 30+ SPF. Last but not least, a healthy lifestyle is always recommended for the best results.
