Aging is inevitable, but it should not necessarily be a negative change to our body.
What is the Thread Lift?
Cog threads are suture threads made of polydioxanone that are inserted under the skin in order to stimulate new collagen production and improve the elasticity of the skin. These absorbable threads rejuvenate the skin and increase its firmness. These 3D Cog threads have spines along the threads that, upon insertion under the skin, hook up to the skin and lift the skin up. Therefore, these cog threads not only rejuvenate the skin but also create an immediate lift to the jowls, jaw line, nasolabial fold, and eyebrows.
Thread lifting is an effective non-surgical procedure that creates an immediate lift and improves the look of the skin.
Natural Alternative to the Surgical Facelift
Let’s compare the cog thread lift with surgical face lift procedures like Botox and dermal fillers.
Thread Lift vs. Surgical Face Lift
Surgical face lift procedures can bring undesirable changes to the skin that may not be easily reversible, and in some cases, these unwanted changes could be permanent. Some of the risks and complications of the surgical face lift are nerve damage, asymmetry of the face, permanent scars, infection, blood or fluid retention, damage to the surrounding tissues, chronic pain, and longer downtime.
Because of this, many people nowadays prefer a more natural, risk-free procedure that creates an immediate lift of the skin without the potential side effects of a surgical face lift.
The thread lift is a great alternative to the surgical face lift, which creates amazing changes to the face. The thread face lift is done in one session, and you typically see the results immediately.
Thread Lift vs. Botox and Dermal Fillers
In the medical cosmetic field, the functions of Botox and dermal fillers are completely different from threads. Botox is typically injected to eliminate fine lines, and it has nothing to do with lifting the skin. In many cases, frequent injections of Botox can cause sagging and droopy skin.
Dermal fillers also function differently from threads. Injection of dermal fillers is intended to fill in wrinkles and deep creases; however, these dermal fillers don’t lift the skin. For instance, the nasolabial fold (laughter line) can be to some degree filled up with the injection of dermal fillers; however, with the Cog threads the cheeks are lifted up and the crease of the nasolabial fold is opened up.
