About Thread Lifts in Costa Mesa

Our skin’s underlying support structures deteriorate and we experience loose and sagging skin as we age. Thread lifts are a safe and effective means of revitalizing your appearance.

What Are Thread Lifts?

thread lifts stimulate elastin and collagen growth which rebuilds our skin’s support structures and creates long-lasting results.

Thread lifts use tiny, biocompatible threads that naturally dissolve over time. The procedure will mechanically lift the skin. Lifting the skin can resolve sagging jowls and droopy skin. They also constrict the dermal tissue which tightens the skin and helps correct loose skin.

Types of Threads

Today, there are many types of different threads used for rejuvenating lifts. Each thread has its own specialized purpose. There are three general categories of thread.

Smooth/Mono 

Smooth or mono threads are typically placed in a grid-like pattern to create skin-tightening effects. The grid-like pattern is because collagen and elastin will begin to form around the location of the threads. Smooth threads are usually used around the neck, forehead, and under the eyes. Smooth threads need an anchor point such as the scalp to suspend the skin in a lifted position.

Twisted/Screw/Coiled

Twisted or screw threads have more than one thread wrapped around the needle. They are primarily used to provide a volumizing effect in sunken areas of the face.

Barbed/Cog

Barbed or cog threads come in a lot of varieties, each tailored for a highly specialized purpose. Unlike smooth threads, barbed threads don’t need an anchor point. The tiny hooked texture of the barbs attaches to the tissue underneath the skin and “grab” the area of loose skin to tighten it. The barbs also aid in collagen formation. Barbed threads are popular for areas around the jawline and lips. 

Results

Thread lifts can achieve long-lasting facial rejuvenation by tightening the skin and rebuilding the support structures for healthy skin.[1] Patients report a high level of satisfaction with the procedure.

Aftercare

If you have an important social event, schedule the thread lift at least 3 weeks before the date. Keep the head elevated for the first day to reduce swelling. Any swelling or bruising should be treated with an ice pack or cold compress. Patients are advised to sleep on their backs for at least a week. Sleeping on the side of the face can disrupt the effect of thread lifts.[2]
