Dermal threads, often referred to as ‘thread lifts,’ are absorbable sutures that are introduced under the skin to lift and rejuvenate sagging skin tissues. These threads are made of biocompatible materials, which are commonly used in surgeries, meaning they naturally dissolve and are absorbed by the body over time.
But, do they really work? The answer is yes. Thread lifts provide immediate results by mechanically lifting the skin. Additionally, as they dissolve, these threads stimulate collagen production, providing a more prolonged rejuvenating effect. The result is a tighter, more contoured appearance without the need for invasive surgery.
The longevity of a thread lift largely depends on the type of threads used, the area of application, and individual factors like skin type, age, and lifestyle. Typically, the results of a dermal thread lift can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Over time, as the threads dissolve, the body’s natural collagen production will take over, ensuring that the skin remains lifted and tight. Regular skincare and sun protection can also help maintain the results for longer.
