Basic Knowledge of Thread Lift: Mechanism and Effects
First, let's introduce some basic knowledge about how thread lifts work and their effects.
What is a Thread Lift? Positioning in Cosmetic Medicine
Thread lift is a treatment in which cogged threads are inserted into the subcutaneous tissue of the face to reduce sagging and lift the skin. In recent years, it uses threads that dissolve and disappear after a certain period of time, so the risks are minor. Another advantage is that there is little downtime because no incision is made and a syringe-like instrument is used. There are several cosmetic treatments for sagging skin, but thread lifts are performed with safety in mind,Expected to be effective for both skin lifting and prevention of saggingIt is a treatment that can be done.

Expected Effects and Benefits
Thread lift is a treatment that is expected to reduce sagging and create sharp, clean, and youthful facial lines. In addition, insertion of the threads into the subcutaneous tissue promotes collagen production, so that even after the threads have dissolvedSkin firmness and elasticity are brought aboutThis is also an advantage. Various effects can be expected, such as reducing the appearance of open pores caused by sagging.

Prices for thread lifts are often set on a per thread basis, and some people may want to have as few threads as possible to get the most effective treatment. Here, we explain how many thread lifts are needed, along with a case study from YAYOI CLINIC in Hiroshima.
Average number of units needed to lift the entire face
When a thread lift is used to lift the entire face,Average of 6 to 12 bottles requiredIt is said to be the same as the number of threads. If the number of threads is too small, the lifting power may be reduced because the force applied to each thread is too large. The number of threads needed depends on the condition of the skin and the ideal result, so please have a consultation to confirm your symptoms and desires first.

Adjustment of the number of units according to age and skin condition
Because the degree of sagging tends to increase with age, the number of threads used in a thread lift tends to increase. Also, the number of threads required will increase if the patient has a lot of fat or if the patient wants to make a significant change in facial contours, etc. Since the force supported by a single thread is limited to a certain degree, additional threads may be needed to increase the lifting force if sagging and wrinkles are to be drastically improved.
Duration of thread lift and care to maximize results
Here is how to take care of the thread lift to maintain its duration and effectiveness.
General duration and individual differences
The thread lift demonstrates two effects: a physical lifting effect by the threads and a tightening effect by promoting collagen production. The physical lifting effect lasts for several months immediately after the procedure, and the promotion of collagen production continues even after the threads have dissolved.Tightening effect lasts about a year.It will be. However, how much collagen is produced depends on how the individual spends his/her time, including lifestyle and post-treatment care.
Aftercare for long-lasting effects
In a thread lift, the cog is hooked to the subcutaneous tissue, and if the face is moved or rubbed excessively before it stabilizes, the cog will come off. It takes about one to two months to settle in, so to prolong the effect, avoid excessive touching during this time.
Need for regular maintenance
If you want to keep the skin tightened by thread lift, it is recommended to have maintenance about once every six months. However, the appropriate treatment interval varies depending on the skin condition you wish to achieve. Make sure to communicate your ideals and wishes, and consult with your doctor to determine the date of re-treatment.
Other cosmetic treatments that can be combined with thread lift
If you want your thread lift to last longer or feel more effective, we recommend combining it with other procedures.
Synergistic effect with hyaluronic acid injections
Hyaluronic acid injections can be expected to increase the moisture as well as the firmness of the entire face. By having the procedure performed at the same time as the thread lift, the face will be more balanced andSmall face effect can be expected.It will be. Both treatments have short downtime, but if done at the same time, they can be combined into a single treatment, reducing the burden.
Combination with Botox treatment
Botox has a wide range of effects, but when injected into the masseter muscle, which is used to move the lower jaw, Botox can eliminate the tightness of the gills and improve facial contours and make the face smaller. Botox takes a little longer to take effect, but when combined with thread lift, it is easier to feel the effects from the beginning of the procedure. It will approach both lifting and fine wrinkles.
