Types of threads
Threads for rejuvenation are different: linear, needle, spiral, etc. Threads are divided by type: there are “surgical” threads, such as gold or Aptos. There are mesothreads - liquid absorbable preparations injected under the skin using a cannula. To correct age-related changes in women 30-40 years old, it is preferable to use mesothreads. After 40, preference is given to a more radical method of rejuvenation - non-absorbable threads.
The price of cosmetic threads for a facelift varies depending on the material from which they are made, as well as the duration of the effect of the procedure. Also, the cost depends on the number of threads used.
Carrying out thread blepharoplasty
Before the procedure, the skin is cleaned and antiseptic treatment is carried out. After that, anesthesia is given, in the form of injections with the drug, or a local anesthetic is used.
In the area where the correction will be carried out, markings are applied that indicate the direction of the inserted threads. Next, the threads are inserted with cannulas, which need to be injected subcutaneously. Pulling is done from the lower border, after filling the entire line, the skin is moved upward to tighten the frame.
During blepharoplasty, the patient's eyes must be closed. The cannulas are removed after insertion of the threads, and the ends on the surface are closed. Punctures are treated with an antiseptic solution.
After all the manipulations, apply a cold compress to the surface of the skin, which will prevent the appearance of bruises. Next, the skin is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. This procedure takes up to forty minutes.
Benefits of thread lift
- general anesthesia is not required;
- no need to stay in hospital;
- minimal risks of side effects;
- the threads are invisible under the skin;
- the result is visible almost immediately, and over time it increases;
- effect of natural skin rejuvenation;
- no scars or noticeable marks;
- facial expressions are completely preserved;
- thread lifting is cheaper than surgical lifting;
- can be combined with plastic surgery;
- non-surgical lifting can be performed repeatedly.
The advantage of mesothreads is their complete removal from the body after a certain time.
Technique for installing mesothreads around the eyes
An appearance correction session using polydiaxonone threads involves implanting fibers under the dermis layer using guide needles. The needle is inserted to the required depth, the thread is secured, and the conductor is removed. The manipulation is painless, with the exception of the installation of needle mesothreads with notches, when local anesthesia with anesthetic creams is required.
The introduced material activates the production of collagen, which forms a framework around the fiber, which dissolves within two months and is excreted from the body naturally. The reinforcing frame supports the skin for 2 years.
Collagen acts as a stimulator of renewal at the cellular level, aimed at prolonging youth. The tightening is noticeable immediately after the procedure. Due to the minimal damage and hypoallergenic nature of the mesothread material, side effects are extremely rare.
A threadlifting session is compatible with almost all cosmetic procedures, as well as injection methods to combat the signs of aging.
Indications for thread face lifting
- transverse and longitudinal wrinkles, folds, creases;
- uneven skin texture;
- sagging tissues (jowls, double chin, drooping corners of the lips);
- decreased level of eyebrows, drooping eyelids;
- low skin tone of the neck and décolleté, wrinkles in this area;
- loose body skin after weight loss / pregnancy / due to age-related changes.
The advantage of thread lifting is the ability to specifically correct the problem area. Thread lifting of the lower part of the face, eyebrows, décolleté - these and other parts of the face and body can easily be rejuvenated with the help of threads.
Contraindications to the procedure
- diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- chronic diseases in the acute stage;
- blood diseases;
- infectious and viral diseases;
- inflammatory processes;
- damage to the skin in the area of thread lifting;
- malignant neoplasms.
Lifting is not performed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Mental disorders are also an obstacle to rejuvenation. Thread lifting is usually not performed on older patients. After 60 years, surgical methods of rejuvenation are offered.
Preparing for blepharoplasty
It is better to discuss all the nuances of eyelid correction in detail during a consultation with a cosmetologist. It is important that the patient at the time of the manipulation is absolutely healthy and there is no inflammatory process in the body.
Two weeks before the operation, you should give up bad habits such as alcohol and smoking. You should not take medications that affect blood clotting. If all recommendations are followed, the procedure and rehabilitation will be as painless as possible.
How does the thread facelift procedure work?
The thread lifting procedure is performed by a surgeon or cosmetologist in a clinic using local anesthesia. It usually takes about an hour. At a preliminary consultation, the doctor determines the type and number of threads to achieve the desired result. Using a cannula (long needle), the threads are installed along certain lines under the skin. The punctures for inserting the cannulas are extremely small; after the procedure, no traces of the injections remain.
After the lifting, you can immediately return to your normal life.
Threadlifting with mesothreads in the eye area
Tight skin, an open look, no wrinkles - the ideal picture of the condition of the eye area for any woman. Cosmetology offers a number of services that allow you to achieve results without using “heavy artillery” in the form of a scalpel and anesthesia. Installation of polydiaxonone fibers under the eyes provides a lasting meso-lifting effect for a long period.
Polydiaxone is a material biocompatible with human tissue, does not cause an allergic reaction, is not rejected, thereby reducing the recovery period after the procedure.
Mesothreads in the eye area are used to eliminate:
- “crow's feet” or a network of small wrinkles;
- deep expression wrinkles;
- the impending century;
- bags under the eyes;
- squint.
A session of installing mesothreads will help smooth out wrinkles and folds, make the look more open, and the eyelids tightened. Mesothreads work well for bags under the eyes - the fibers reliably support the skin and prevent it from acquiring a puffy appearance.

Rehabilitation after blepharoplasty with threads
How long the body will recover after eyelid correction depends on the individual characteristics of the patient, and on compliance with all the doctor’s recommendations.
Here are the main tips:
- reduce physical activity;
- refuse to visit the bathhouse, sauna, sunbathe or swim;
- sleep only on your back; try not to touch the area around the eyes;
- don't use cosmetics
Try not to show emotions during the recovery period so as not to involve facial expressions. The skin should be cleansed carefully, preferably using antiseptic agents.
How long does the effect of the procedure last?
Depending on the condition of the skin and the type of threads, the lifting effect lasts differently.
Mesothreads give shorter lasting results. Of these, Ellanse E liquid threads have the longest effect - their action will last for up to 4 years. The most “natural” liquid threads are NITHYA collagen injections. Their action lasts for a period of 3 months. Gold threads and Aptos will delight you for 4-5 years. This is the most effective way to tighten the skin. The thread lifting method involves repeated procedures, which means that you can repeat the thread lift every few years to maintain the result.
Advantages and disadvantages
Before the procedure, the doctor assesses the condition of the skin, as well as the feasibility of thread lifting. This is not a universal procedure, it has certain indications, and is not a panacea for the aging process. Before deciding on a mini-operation, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of the cosmetic method.
Advantages:
- the procedure is suitable for all skin types;
- short recovery period;
- the result can be assessed immediately;
- the effect lasts up to 2 years;
- the material is not rejected by the body;
- after biodegradation, the material decomposes into carbon dioxide and water;
- combined with other cosmetic procedures.
Flaws:
- high price;
- there are risks of developing side effects;
- pain during the recovery period.
Cost of the procedure
At a face-to-face consultation, the cosmetologist will tell you the exact price for a facelift with threads. The doctor needs to see you to choose the appropriate type and number of threads. Usually in Moscow, facelift threads cost approximately the same; the only question is the reliability of the supplier and the qualifications of the cosmetologist.

Rejuvenation with threads is not an operation, and in our country it is performed not only by the chief physician - plastic surgeon Anzhelika Vladimirovna Nikolaeva-Fedorova, but also by all cosmetologists. The clinic orders threads regularly, and you can make a personal order for your procedure. We pay great attention to the safety of thread lifting, so we work only with official distributors.

What material is used?
There are several of the most popular face lift techniques with threads in modern cosmetology. Each method has its own characteristics, as well as distinctive features .
It is worth noting that the main classification of procedures differs according to the principle of action of the material; the threads are:
- absorbable - over time they disintegrate and are gradually eliminated from the body;
- non-absorbable - the material of their creation does not disintegrate, they remain in the skin and provide a longer-lasting effect.
In our country, specialists prefer to use the following materials for this procedure:
- mesothreads;
- gold threads;
- platinum threads;
- Aptos threads.
Mesothreads
The drug is made on the basis of polydioxanone. This procedure is preventative and is used at the stage of the first appearance of wrinkles.
The threads are absorbable and are inserted under the skin to a depth of no more than 8 mm, under local anesthesia.
Often used to correct the oval of the face or individual areas. The cost of a skin tightening procedure with mesothreads starts from 5,000 rubles .
You can find out more about what to expect from a facelift with mesothreads here, and in this article we talked about the types of mesothreads and their use.
Gold
Gold threads have been used for face lifting for quite some time. Up to three meters of material can be installed under the skin in one procedure; one thread has a diameter of only 0.1 mm, and 999 gold is used for its production.
The metal is not rejected by the body, does not cause allergic reactions, and skin renewal processes are stimulated.
Golden threads not only keep the skin in the desired, tightened state, but also stimulate it to increase its own potential. At the same time, intensive cell regeneration begins, and the body begins its own rejuvenation. The price of plastic surgery using gold threads starts from 50,000 rubles . We wrote about face and neck lifting with gold threads in this article.
Reinforcement with gold threads is a cosmetic procedure during which the thinnest ligatures are implanted under the patient’s skin.
They create a mesh-like frame that keeps internal tissues and muscles toned, preventing them from sagging and deforming.
Benefits of the procedure:
- Forms a lasting rejuvenating effect even on mature skin.
- Leaves no traces of lifting.
- Preserves natural facial features and body contours.
- Has a short rehabilitation period.
Disadvantages of reinforcement:
- The procedure is painful.
- Under certain lighting, the threads can be visible through the skin.
- After reinforcement, plastic surgery and hardware cosmetology techniques may be contraindicated.
Gold threads are non-absorbable materials. Unlike absorbable threads made of polydiaxone and polylactic acid, they have increased wear resistance, strength and effectiveness in the deep subcutaneous layers.
Gold is a hypoallergenic material, so the risk of thread rejection is minimal.
Possible consequences and complications
- After the procedure, pronounced swelling remains in the affected area - it will go away without a trace within 7-10 days.
- In the first few days, the patient may experience pain, a feeling of skin tightness and bruising.
Small irregularities may appear at the puncture site due to forced tissue displacement - this phenomenon will also disappear over time.
Possible complications:
- Allergic reactions to threads and drugs.
- Changing facial contours.
- Tissue infection.
- Displacement of threads.
- Translucent material.
- The appearance of dents at the puncture sites.

Does it affect facial expressions?
The first 3-4 days after the procedure, the patient experiences discomfort and difficulty with facial expressions . This consequence of the use of local anesthesia is not a cause for serious concern.
If a negative reaction is observed for a week or more, this may indicate compression of the facial nerves. The situation requires medical consultation.
Is there a risk of material rejection?
Gold is a noble metal that is safe and in the vast majority of cases does not cause rejection.
A small number of patients may experience hypersensitivity reactions to precious metals . Gold threads are not recommended for this category of people, and if the rejection process has already started, the threads will have to be removed.
For the procedure, gold of the highest 999 standard is used, and the thickness of the facial threads is no more than 0.1 mm.
Is it possible to remove material if desired?
The reinforcement procedure involves lifelong installation of gold threads , that is, the ligature will remain in the skin forever.
But according to indications or at the request of the client, gold threads can be removed.
Indications for the procedure for the introduction of gold threads are::
- protrusion of threads under the skin;
- allergy to threads;
- thread migration;
- persistent contour violation;
- violation of facial expressions.
How much does the service cost?
The price of the procedure for reinforcing the face and other areas of the skin depends on several factors:
- geographical location of the clinic;
- doctor's qualifications;
- amount of material used;
- area of the processing area.
The cost of the procedure in Moscow and St. Petersburg ranges from 25 thousand to 100 thousand rubles.
Correction of the nasolabial zone will cost the least, while correction of the breast shape will cost the most.

Platinum
It is worth noting that this material is practically no different from gold in its purpose, but the properties of platinum threads are much more pronounced.
Manufacturing material for cosmetology is taken of the highest standard with a minimum content of impurities - 999.
The thickness of one thread is 0.1 mm, they can be up to 20 cm in length. It is worth noting that these threads are spiral-shaped, wound around a conductor thread, which subsequently dissolves and is excreted from the body. The cost of a lift using platinum threads starts from 80,000 rubles .
Aptos
Aptos products include both temporary and permanent materials. Threads installed on a permanent basis are made from polypropylene, which has proven itself in medicine.
Temporary threads consist of capralactone, a synthetic material based on lactic acid.
The main advantage of this substance is that it gives the body an impetus to activate metabolic processes and regeneration. The price for a comprehensive lift with Aptos threads starts from 33,000 rubles .
