If you’re searching for the best anti-aging solution, you’ve likely heard about facelifts. Facelifts, technically known as rhytidectomy, are surgical procedures that remove loose skin and tighten the face.
Surgical facelifts are an excellent way to achieve long-lasting results; however, they may not be the right fit for every patient.
For this reason, many individuals seek out an alternative to surgical facelifts. Read on about one of the best alternative anti-aging solutions: threadlifts and EuroThreads!
A threadlift is a minimally invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure. When you have a threadlift done, your provider uses barbed sutures to create a subtle yet immediate lifted appearance in the skin.
The sutures are made from biodegradable polymers known as polydioxanone (PDO).
There are 3 main types of PDO threads:
Mono threads are smooth and do not have barbs. They typically treat lines and sagginess on the neck, the under-eye area, and the forehead. This type of PDO thread can help tighten the skin, but it does not provide much of a lifting effect overall.
Mono PDO threads are not used for threadlifts. While they are a valuable anti-aging solution, their use is intended for adding plumpness and volume to the skin versus actually lifting it.
Screw threads are also used for areas that need added volume. They’re typically used for general face-lifting and in conjunction with other threads.
Cog threads are similar to mono threads, but they have barbs to help hook into the skin. Mono threads need to be anchored to an area of the face (such as the hairline), while cog threads do not need an anchor.
Cog threads help stimulate collagen production because collagen forms around the threads and barbs. These threads are most effective for lifting and slimming the face, especially the jawline.
EuroThreads are a type of PDO thread. These polymer threads have been around for decades in the medical industry and are most often used by cardiovascular surgeons for sutures. EuroThreads help suspend a patient’s loose skin when used for cosmetic facelifts.
Although the immediate effects of a threadlift are temporary, EuroThreads can have longer-lasting results. Over time, EuroThreads can help to increase collagen and elastin production, which result in tighter and more youthful-looking skin.
When performing a threadlift with EuroThreads, our provider will insert these tiny threads throughout the desired treatment areas. For most patients, treatment areas include:
Patients often see immediate anti-aging results after a threadlift. Common areas that experience improvement can include:
Many people enjoy threadlifts because they immediately improve the skin and provide gradual, longer-lasting results from boosting collagen and elastin. This minimally invasive facelift alternative involves no surgery or anesthesia, meaning you don’t have to worry about downtime, recovery time, or surgical complications. It’s also much more affordable than more invasive options.
Even though threadlifts are minimally invasive procedures, not everyone is a candidate for this anti-aging solution.
Typically, successful candidates for a threadlift are:
Ultimately, you want to make sure you speak with our licensed professionals, who can explore your treatment options and aesthetic goals to determine what will be right for you.
Maybe a full facelift isn’t right for you, and you’re looking for something more subtle. Maybe you simply want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes, mouth, and forehead.
If this is the case, you could be a candidate for mono thread EuroThreads. Adding volume and plumpness to areas of your skin and encouraging collagen production could be enough to meet your cosmetic goals.
EuroThreads results vary depending on the patient. For some patients, EuroThreads only last 18 months. For others, EuroThreads can last up to a few years.
Everyone’s skin is unique, so the way EuroThreads interact with your body will be just as unique. Our providers can discuss the results you can expect during a consultation.
