What are collagen threads? Collagen is considered one of the important substances that has a major role in increasing skin elasticity and strength. There are about 27 types of collagen that the body produces naturally every day. However, this substance gradually decreases in secretion as one ages, and therefore the skin needs collagen from an external source to protect the facial skin from wrinkles and the appearance of facial stretch marks and sagging. In our topic, we will present to you the new collagen thread technology to delay the signs of aging and how this technology can be completed in a hospital.

 What are collagen strands? 

A face lift with threads depends on the use of stitches made of threads made of various materials according to the needs of the face, using special needles made by a specialist doctor, which allows not to make large incisions in the face. Among the benefits of a face lift with threads is enhancing the production of collagen in the lower layer of the skin, which is a protein known for its role in giving the skin strength and freshness, such as the “Tephriti Lift” technique for lifting the face. However, the body’s production of collagen may gradually decrease with age, which leads to the skin weakening and separating from the tissues, so the face lift process with threads plays a role.

A thread lift can be used to treat various areas of the face, such as the forehead, cheeks, jaws, and eyebrows, as well as the jawline and neck. This treatment is suitable for patients between the ages of 30 and 55 who suffer from mild to moderate signs of sagging skin. It is also an ideal option for patients who cannot undergo surgical procedures for medical reasons. 

This procedure relies on local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. Thread facelift is considered a quick and effective treatment with few complications and side effects and gives immediate results. Therefore, thread facelift shows amazing results before and after the procedure, achieving a high success rate and giving the face a brighter, more vibrant appearance.
