Face Lifting Threads

Dermatology, cosmetology and skin care are the most specializations of medicine in which modern techniques are being invented, in order to discover more efficient and less painful methods. Among the latest technologies: Thread facelift, that is available at Perla Dermatology Clinic, which restores face and neck youth, without sagging or wrinkles and has an anti-aging effect. 

From now on we can say goodbye to painful surgeries with Dr. Inas Musa.

Over time, collagen and elastin fibers break down and skin begins to age, causing it to sag and give an unpleasant appearance. Previously, the only solution was surgery, but surgery, as it is known, has many side effects, including pain and scar formation that may be disfiguring, the need for a long recovery after the operation, as well as the high cost.

 As for the thread lift, it achieves similar results with less pain and without the formation of scars or side effects.

Lifting Threads Types

There are many types and forms of threads, most of them are absorbable by body tissues after a period of time and are the better. Others are not absorbable.

polydioxanone (PDO)

polylactic acid (PLA)

polycaprolactone (PCA)

The procedure takes place at Perla Dermatology Clinic. At first, the patient’s goals are discussed, as well as knowing the medical and drug history, then the skin is cleansed and local anesthesia is performed. A puncture is made in the skin with a special needle, then threads are inserted through the path, fixed and tightened to obtain the desired result, then the free part of the thread is cut. This process is repeated in several areas of the face and neck. The results appear immediately after the session but the final shape may take after several weeks, as threads stimulate the growth of fibers and useful substances within skin layers and subcutaneous. Typically, the effectiveness of threads lasts about a year and a half.

It must be emphasized that patient should choose their doctors carefully, and rather pay attention to the so-called people who are not doctors, because the lack of experience and accuracy in work may lead to asymmetry in the face, as you may notice tighter areas than others. The non-expert may also injure the nerves or blood vessels in the face during the insertion of the thread. Therefore, it is important to have skill and knowledge performing this procedure. And this is what you will find at Perla Dermatology Clinic under the supervision of Dr. Inas Musa, an expert in this field.

After the procedure, you may notice minor bruises where the needle was entered. Doctor may prescribe some medications and ointments that relieve pain and edema. It is possible to return to the routine life after the procedure, but you must be careful not to receive any trauma on the face, as well as not to tighten it for several days. Facial movements such as laughter should not be exaggerated for some time so as not to affect the aesthetic result.

Threads are characterized by stimulating beneficial changes in the skin that make it not return to the way it was before its use, even after its effect has worn off and is absorbed by tissues.
