The best technique to lift and tighten sagging skin tissues is by using bio-absorbable, biocompatible and biodegradable filament threads. Threadlift is a unique treatment which stimulates the production of collagen in the skin leading to a “Lift” effect.
The threads used in threadlift are derived from suture materials. Here the thread is looped into a fine needle of varying lengths. Hence the needle acts as a medium via which the thread is introduced into the skin.
These are 3rd Generation suture materials called PDO (polydioxanone) and of very high tensile strength,pliable and have smooth tissue passage. It is degraded in the body in maximum 210 days by hydrolysis and excreted through the faeces and urine. It is non antigenic and therefore gives a minimal tissue reaction. Adequate aseptic precautions if maintained, there is no risk of bacterial colonization. Once introduced into the skin, it stimulates the fibroblasts which thereby results in collagen production in the skin. This together with the increased blood flow brings about skin rejuvenation with a lifting effect. This effect is not instantaneous but takes place over 2 months.
