Thread Lifting

Is it possible to restore facial contour, skin elasticity and an open look without surgery? Yes, temporarily. Thread lifting is a safe alternative to a classic face lift, which allows you to achieve amazing rejuvenation without incisions, long-term rehabilitation and changes in facial features.

At Yurchenko Team, this procedure lasts 20–60 minutes and gives an effect that is noticeable immediately after the visit. The result is a toned face with the preservation of natural facial expressions and individuality. Thread lifting can be performed in combination with other surgeries.

With age, soft tissues of the face start going down with face losing its shape, getting more distinct nasolabial folds and wrinkles, position of lips and eye corners changing. Most cosmetology procedures are unable to restore tissue architecture, since they do not have mechanical vector for lifting. In such cases, thread lifting is an ideal solution.

This is a minimally invasive procedure, during which a natural tightening of tissues is created with the help of special threads. In addition to the mechanical effect, the threads start natural rejuvenation processes, for they stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

Thread Llifting Zones

The procedure is suitable for correcting the following areas:

upper third of the face: forehead wrinkles, drooping eyebrows, tired or “angry” look;

middle zone: cheekbones, sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds;

lower third: jowls, unclear oval, sagging tissue, double chin;

As a result, a natural rejuvenated facial framework is formed without the effect of a “tightened mask”.

What Threads Do We Use?

Yurchenko Team doctors use bioresorbable Aptos threads, a certified product created specifically for delicate but durable tissue tightening.

These threads are biochemical, do not cause allergic reactions and do not require removal.

After insertion, they fix the tissues in the desired position and also trigger neocollagenesis, that is, the skin begins to rejuvenate itself from the inside.

The types of threads we use:

• threads with notches – provide powerful fixation and mechanical tightening;
• biostimulating threads – improve the quality of the skin, its density and tone;
• combined threads – combine the effect of tightening and restoration of turgor.

The type of threads, procedure protocol and amount are selected individually, taking into account age, face anatomy and the desired result.

The procedure is performed only with bioresorbable threads.

Threadlift Pre-Ops

Consultations. During the appointment, the doctor carefully listens to the patient’s wishes, explains how the procedure and rehabilitation will be carried out, and also answers all questions. At this stage, the doctor determines the best option for correcting issues to obtain an ideal natural result.

Comprehensive examination. Before the operation, each patient must undergo mandatory laboratory tests (general blood and urine tests, biochemical blood test, blood sugar, coagulogram, test for AIDS, HIV, hepatitis B and C). An examination by a therapist and anesthesiologist may also be necessary.

Contraindications to the procedure

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Oncological diseases.
• Autoimmune processes.
• Acute infections.
• Tendency to form keloid scars.
• Inflammatory processes in the intervention area.

Rehabilitation after the procedure

First 2-3 days: it is recommended to wear a compression bandage on the face.

Minor: swelling, bruising, increased sensitivity are possible and will disappear in 7-14 days.

Restriction: avoid intense facial movements, thermal procedures, sports for 10 days.

Return to active social life: from 3-5 days.

How long does the result last?

The effect of the procedure lasts from 8 to 18 months – depending on the type of threads, age and individual characteristics of the skin. After their absorption, the skin remains more toned and elastic due to the stimulation of natural collagen synthesis. If necessary, the procedure can be repeated to maintain the result. In the future, the threads will not become an obstacle for a surgical facelift.
