The collagen thread lift is a non-surgical method used to support tissues in the face and neck area. Collagen threads are made from PLLA materials. These biocompatible threads are gradually absorbed by the body over time, providing structural support to the tissues while also stimulating fibroblast activity during the process. The threads are inserted beneath the skin to support areas prone to sagging. The procedure involves minimal intervention to the superficial tissue and is tailored to each individual. A collagen thread lift is performed only after a medical evaluation and under the guidance of a physician.
How Is the Collagen Thread Lift Performed?
The procedure is planned after an assessment by the doctor. Biocompatible threads are inserted into the subcutaneous tissue using special cannulas under local anesthesia. These threads help support the superficial tissue and maintain its position. The treatment is commonly applied to areas such as the face, jawline, and neck. The duration and technique of the procedure may vary depending on the individual’s anatomy and specific needs.
Which Areas Can Be Treated with a Collagen Thread Lift?
This method can be used to support the soft tissues of the face and neck. Commonly treated areas include:
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Neck
- Around the eyebrows
- Under-chin area
- Temples
The treatment areas are determined by the physician based on each patient's unique anatomy and goals.
How Many Threads Are Needed in a Collagen Thread Lift?
The number and length of threads to be used depend on the patient's facial anatomy, skin elasticity, the treatment area, and the desired outcome. Based on the skin's age, quality, and the extent of elasticity loss, the number of thread pairs may vary. There is no fixed standard — each procedure is custom-designed for the individual.
