Over the course of life, the skin condition of the face gradually worsens. Not only wrinkles and folds, but also swollen contours give out age, reducing attractiveness and depressing mood. To stop the aging process and visually improve the appearance, cosmetologists use an innovative tool - mesothreads for facelift. The effect provided by the procedure is comparable to a time travel that returns lost youth and freshness.

What is thread lifting
The thread lifting procedure - threading with mesothreads, is the latest technological development - hardening of individual parts of the skin of the body by introducing the finest threads into the layers of the epidermis.
Special fibers with a thickness of not more than 0.3 mm are made of mesothreads, made of modern polydioxanone material, which have absolute biological compatibility with human skin and are resorbable.
Mezoniti are considered a universal high-tech and safe material, they are used not only in plastic surgery, but also in other medical industries. In addition, the threads for lifting do not cause allergies, so their use is appropriate in any area of the body, at different depths of the skin layers.
The use of mesothreads opens up truly revolutionary opportunities for rejuvenation:
- 3D modeling of facial contours, including restoration and correction;
- tightening sagging skin areas;
- elimination of facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, stretch marks and scars;
- stimulation of the active production of collagen by the forces of the body, regardless of age;
- smoothing the skin.
And most importantly - thanks to the effect of mesothreads from collagen and elastin, a frame is created under the skin that prevents the appearance of age-related changes in the future.
Features and effectiveness of the procedure
The introduction of mesothreads under the skin is carried out using very thin needles. After fixing the thread in the layers of the epidermis, the needle is removed. While the threads themselves retain their original shape and strength for no more than a year, because after seven months the process of their resorption and decomposition into trace elements - carbon dioxide and water begins.
The process of disintegration of the threads provokes an intensive formation of proteins in the skin tissues, which naturally support the elasticity of the epidermis - collagen and elastin. It is these substances that contribute to the formation of a skeleton inside the skin, supporting the strength and elasticity of the cells.
If we compare the state of the epidermis before and after threadlifting, one gets the impression that his cells revived anew and returned the elasticity characteristic of young skin.
Indications for use
Implantation of mesothreads provides an ideal result when the first age-related changes occur and is recommended as a means to avoid visual signs of aging for women aged 30 to 45 years.
A facelift with threads in mature years is possible, but it is difficult to improve the condition of the dermis in the presence of pronounced changes. In this case, the use of mesothreads will not be able to ensure the long-term effect.
Conducting anti-aging procedures using mesothreads is shown in the following:
- the formation of age-related folds of a ring-shaped character on the neck;
- omission of the external contours of the eyes and eyebrows;
- the appearance of wrinkles - between the eyebrows, in the corners of the eyes;
- uneven relief of the skin surface after surgery;
- the formation of a second chin, brylya and nasolabial folds;
- changing the contours of the face.
Even one thread lifting procedure provides an instant visual effect of skin rejuvenation. The achieved effect can be maintained for 2-5 years: the stability of the result depends on the type of reinforcing materials used.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like most cosmetic procedures, the pros and cons of thread lifting are determined after it.
The main advantages of the method of using mesothreads are:
- the use of local anesthesia without general anesthesia;
- the absence of incisions, and subsequently, scars and scars;
- instant result;
- short rehabilitation period;
- the possibility of combining with other aesthetic events - botox, fillers, hardware cosmetology.
On the other hand, you need to be prepared for the fact that after the procedure there will be foci of hematomas or swelling, and at the puncture site you will feel pain and tingling for some time.
Varieties of braces
The relevance of using a certain type of material for skin reinforcement is determined by its medical characteristics and the individual specificity of the patient's epidermis. In turn, the effect provided by mesonites from materials of various types differs in the level of intensity of tightening of epidermal tissues.
Different types of monofilaments differ not only in design, but also in purpose, area of use and period of resorption.
Linear threads (monofilament).
Universal very thin threads of the first generation. Differ in a smooth surface.
Intended for the following:
- reinforcing problem areas of the face;
- smoothing superficial wrinkles;
- increase skin tone;
- correction of the oval of the face and lips.
Provide a complete renewal of skin cells.Stimulate the active production of collagen, due to which they provide a stable lifting effect.
Important! The resorption period of linear mesothreads is from six months to eight months.
Spiral threads
Spiral-shaped mesothreads or springs are designed to replenish volume in areas with sagging skin.
Also, the use of spiral threads is indicated for correction of the tip of the nose or for sagging skin in the area of:
- eyebrow lines;
- chin;
- oval face;
- cheeks.
Spiral threads are installed in the deep layers of the skin - at the level of the subdermal tissue of the hypodermis. During the implementation, the springs are stretched, but at the end of the procedure they are straightened, returning to their original position, and thus tighten sagging tissues. They can be used in combination with other types of mezzanines.
Double mesothreads
Double are called pairs of linear threads of the second generation, woven in the form of braids. This form provides not only increased thread strength, but also a high level of skin tightening and support.
Pigtail threads most effectively hold the necessary skin shape in the area of nasolabial folds, forehead, chin, neck and décolleté.
Notched or spiked mezzanines
Third generation mesothreads. They are distinguished by the presence on the surface of characteristic notches or spikes - bilateral or unilateral. Thanks to this shape of the threads, the maximum effective fixation of soft tissues on the cheeks, as well as in the areas of the chin and neck, is achieved.
The notches enhance the severity of the lifting effect, and the spikes provide fixation of facial tissues in a certain position. The introduction of mesothreads with notches or spikes is carried out at the level of the middle layer of the dermis and is accompanied by slight soreness. The procedure is considered one of the most effective.
How is the operation
The operation to introduce mesothreads is considered to be less traumatic.
The preparatory phase of the procedure involves the following requirements two hours before the operation:
- refusal of alcohol;
- lack of smoking;
- minimum physical exertion;
- the exclusion of hot baths or sauna visits not only before, but also after the introduction of mesothreads.
In addition, it is unacceptable to take blood-thinning drugs for two weeks before the session.
Stages of the procedure
To make the procedure comfortable for the patient, skin areas are treated with painkillers and disinfectants. Therefore, during the procedure, the patient can calmly observe the process without experiencing any discomfort.
After assessing the condition of the skin, the doctor performs anesthesia and, using a marker, indicates the areas to be corrected. Then the cannula needle is inserted into each marked point. The depth of needle insertion is determined by the type of materials used.
After fixing the mesothreads, the needles are removed. The final result of the operation is evaluated after two months. But the primary effect of rejuvenation can be observed immediately.
On average, from 10 to 20 threads are used to correct one area of the skin. It’s accurate to say how many mesothreads are needed to lift the oval of the face, only a doctor can - after examining the patient and fully analyzing the state of his body.
Rehabilitation period
The recovery period after the mesothreading procedure takes no more than two weeks. At this time, doctors recommend avoiding the action of any factors that can irritate the skin.
Among them:
- active sports;
- visit to the sauna, solarium, beach;
- alcohol intake
- smoking;
- the use of marinades, spices, smoked meats and other sharp or salty foods that contribute to the appearance of edema.
In order for rehabilitation after the procedure to be successful, in the first days you need to refrain from performing hygienic procedures in the face. Then, during the first week, you should not take too hot a shower, and during sleep use two pillows to avoid stress on the face tissue.
Within six months after the therapy, periodic implementation of oxygen masks and regular use of funds that protect against ultraviolet radiation are recommended.
During this period, it is better to refrain from any anti-aging procedures and, if possible, eliminate harmful products from the diet, including coffee and alcohol.
Contraindications and side effects
Despite the low-invasiveness and general harmlessness of the procedure, rejuvenation through the introduction of mesothreads can harm health.
The following pathologies appear in the list of contraindications:
- infections
- oncology;
- low blood coagulation;
- diabetes;
- inflammatory processes in the skin.
Also, the use of mesothreads is contraindicated in pregnant and lactating mothers.
The success of the rejuvenation procedure is more dependent on the qualifications of the plastic surgeon. Therefore, before deciding to change the appearance, you should choose a doctor whose qualifications and experience inspire confidence.
