How Can You Make Dissolving Thread Lifting Last Longer and Keep Elasticity for a Long Time?

Many people choose thread lifting because they expect a fast and noticeable lifting effect.

Thread lifting is not a permanent procedure, so its effects gradually decrease over time.

So, what is important if you want to maintain the lifting effect for as long as possible?

Is it enough to simply focus on the type of thread?

In fact, the most important factor in determining how long thread lifting lasts is not only which thread is used, but also how the procedure is performed.

In particular, because thread lifting must physically pull up tissue, the medical staff’s experience and skill have a major impact on the result.

Before the procedure, it is important to carefully analyze your skin condition through a thorough consultation and choose the right thread and treatment method accordingly.

You need to choose a thread that suits your skin.

The threads used for thread lifting come in various materials and forms.

They also each have different characteristics.

In general, threads are commonly classified by material into PCL, PLLA, and PDO threads, and each shows some differences in duration and effect.

The most widely used PDO thread lasts from about 6 months to as long as 1 year.

As the thread slowly dissolves, it stimulates the surrounding skin tissue to produce collagen.

PLLA threads last about 1 to 2 years.

They have a stronger collagen-forming effect than PDO threads and are excellent for improving volume.

PCL threads are the longest-lasting type of thread, sometimes lasting from about 2 years to as long as 3 years.

As they gradually break down in the skin, they produce a tissue-regenerating effect.

They can be a suitable choice if you want long-term lifting.

Then does that mean longer-lasting threads are always better?

Not necessarily.

Even with the same thread, the duration and effect are influenced by how it is inserted, how deep it is fixed, and how it is positioned to match the facial structure.

In particular, areas with a lot of movement, such as around the mouth or along the jawline, can cause the thread to loosen more easily, so it is necessary to choose the right thread for each area and adjust the insertion method accordingly.

The procedure method determines how long the effect lasts.

Thread lifting is not simply a procedure that ends after placing the threads and pulling them.

The threads must be precisely placed so that they are properly fixed inside the skin and can promote collagen production effectively.

Several factors, such as the insertion site and direction of the thread, the depth, and the pulling force, must work in harmony to achieve a natural and long-lasting effect.

If these factors are not considered and the procedure is done carelessly with a one-size-fits-all approach, problems can arise.

If the thread is inserted too shallowly, the skin may become uneven, and if it is inserted too deeply, the lifting effect may not appear sufficiently.

Also, if the thread is not properly fixed, it may loosen over time or sag in an unintended direction.

To prevent these problems, the procedure must be performed with a clear understanding of the structure of the skin tissue.

The medical staff’s experience and skill are important.

To perform thread lifting properly, the patient’s skin condition must be accurately analyzed, and the optimal procedure method must be determined based on that analysis.

What matters in this process is the experience and skill of the medical staff performing the procedure.

If the medical staff lacks experience with thread lifting, they are more likely to set the insertion site or depth incorrectly, which can result in the effect not lasting as long as expected or producing an unnatural outcome.

The skin condition and facial contours should be carefully analyzed, and the procedure should be performed with the most suitable thread and method according to the patient’s facial condition.

Therefore, when considering thread lifting, do not simply compare prices or thread types; also check how skilled the medical staff are with the procedure and how carefully they analyze your face during the consultation.

The length of time the effect lasts after dissolving thread lifting depends not only on the type of thread used, but also on the skill and experience of the medical staff who performed the procedure.

Even when the same thread is used, the difference in effect and duration can be significant depending on how precisely the procedure was carried out.

Therefore, if you are considering thread lifting, I recommend receiving treatment from a medical professional who first checks whether it is suitable for your face and skin condition, rather than simply focusing on whether the thread lasts a long time or produces a strong effect.
