What is a Thread Lift?
Thread lifting is a minimally invasive method for skin tightening and rejuvenation. Biocompatible threads are inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten it. These threads stimulate the body’s own collagen production, providing natural and long-lasting results. Thread lifting offers an effective solution for sagging skin and wrinkles without the need for surgery. At InGold Aesthetics clinics, we offer various types of thread lifting, including PDO, PCL, and PLL threads, as well as combinations of these three types.

Types of threads for thread lifting
PDO (Polydioxanone): PDO threads are absorbable threads that have been used in surgery for many years. They dissolve within 6 months but continue to stimulate collagen production, resulting in long-lasting results. PDO threads are particularly effective for tightening and lifting facial areas such as the cheeks, chin, and eyebrows. They offer immediate results and improve skin texture over time. These threads are optimal for non-significant volume and elasticity loss, as well as for gentle yet effective results.
PLL-Fäden (Polymilchsäure): PLL-Fäden sind die am längsten wirksamen resorbierbaren Fäden und können bis zu zwei Jahre lang die Kollagenproduktion anregen. Sie sind besonders effektiv für die Behandlung von tiefen Falten und starken Hauterschlaffungen. PLL-Fäden bieten eine kräftige Hebewirkung und verbessern die Hautelastizität und -dichte erheblich. Diese Fäden sind ideal für Bereiche wie Wangen, Kieferlinie und Hals. Erhafren Sie mehr ( send them to the session with PLL-Threads under Aesthetic medicine-threads).
PCL (Polycaprolactone) threads: PCL threads are also absorbable threads, but they degrade more slowly than PDO threads, resulting in longer lasting effects of up to two years. These threads offer a stronger and longer-lasting lifting and tightening effect. PCL threads are ideal for deeper wrinkles and areas with more sagging skin, such as the jawline and neck.

Combination of threads:
In many cases, manufacturers combine threads, such as PCL/PLL or PDO. This combination allows the advantages of each thread type to be utilized to achieve a customized and comprehensive lifting result. For example, PDO threads can be used for immediate lifting and short-term results, while PCL and PLL threads provide a longer-lasting effect and deeper skin tightening.
