Thread lift

Who isn't bothered by them - sagging cheeks, marionette lines or deep nasolabial folds? But a real facelift (face lift) or repeated injections of hyaluronic acid? Isn't there another solution without surgery that promises improvement?
Facelift without surgery: the thread lift

THREAD LIFT
A firm face without surgery: not an option? Yes, this solution finally exists! The thread lift enables minimally invasive skin tightening. A result that is not permanent, but can mean 2-3 years of improvement.
Depending on the type of thread selected, two different effects can be achieved that can be easily combined with each other:
Thin, simple or curly threads are primarily used to improve the quality of the skin. These - usually colorless - threads are inserted superficially into the skin. This has several positive effects: The small injury to the skin triggers a regeneration process. Blood circulation increases and the complexion appears fresher. The breakdown of the thread and the resulting tissue reaction leads to an accumulation of collagen in the tissue over the following months. The skin becomes thicker and the tissue contracts longitudinally. This also results in a secondary lifting effect after a few months. This method also works excellently on thin neck skin and around the eyes, mouth and even lips. Even puffiness in the lower eyelid area, which is difficult to control, can be successfully treated by thickening the skin.
If thicker threads with barbs are used, the aim is to achieve an immediate lifting effect. The threads lie deeper in the skin. Their hooks pull the tissue in the desired direction. This has a positive effect on the overall facial expression: the eyebrows can be lifted, as can the corners of the mouth. Sagging cheeks can also be lifted and the neck tightened. A small local anesthetic is usually applied at the thread insertion site.
Both types of thread can be combined with each other. However, it may be advisable to wait for the skin to thicken before using the hook sutures.
The cost of the procedure depends on the type and quantity of sutures used, but is generally far lower than that of a surgical facelift.
Depending on the thread used and the patient's wishes, up to 8 threads are used in a thread lift. On average, we recommend 2-3 per side of the face. At a cost of around 200 euros per thread, this results in prices that are far below those of surgery. The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis and, in experienced hands, is rarely asso
For further information, please see the bottom of the page. This is where the advantages and disadvantages of the procedures are presented and the risks and side effects are explained. However, this cannot replace a personal consultation (also via video), in which these aspects are explained and adapted individually. We therefore look forward to a personal consultation with you!
Who is it for?
For all patients who are looking for a non-surgical solution but want a significant change to their aged face, the thread lift is a good alternative. However, it is important to be aware that the effect is only temporary, i.e. after a year the treatment must either be repeated or another form of treatment must be chosen.
An interesting option is to combine the thread lift with other procedures, such as volume augmentation with autologous fat, PRP treatments of the face or peeling treatments of the skin surface.
Details
Finally, the small puncture sites are taped with plasters and, if necessary, the skin is fixed with steristrips (long, skin-colored plasters) for support.
A thread lift at Praxisklinik am Rosengarten takes approx. 60-90 minutes.
After treatment
Sport should also be avoided for approx. 7-10 days. Otherwise, no special aftercare is required.
