Thermage Thread Lift is a combination of Thermage FLX and Thread Lift procedures to boost the lifting effect and bring out the best outcome for customers. How it is done and what we need to know about this combination are stated in the following article. Let’s find out together.
What is a Thermage Thread Lift?
Senescence has been a concern of many people as it will result in sagging skin, wrinkles, and even volume loss. These facial flaws make people lose confidence and become insecure about their appearance. The facelift has been the golden standard in correcting any facial imperfection but not that many people are open to the idea of undergoing surgery, especially facial surgery. That’s why there are alternatives that bring comparable results as a facelift does but in a less invasive way. Two of those are Thermage FLX and Thread Lift.
Thermage FLX lifts and tightens the skin in an effective, non-invasive way by utilizing the heating effect of radio frequency radiating from the handpiece to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Thermage brings back a younger and fresher look without any damage to the skin.
Wherein thread lift draws taunt the skin by inserting bio-thread into the skin and then tightening them. It’s a minimally invasive way compared to a surgical facelift but still effective. The collagen thread will dissolve over time but the tightening effect can still be maintained thanks to the continuous collagen generated from the thread.
Thermage thread lift combines the above techniques to maximize the lifting effect of 2 non-surgical facelifts so customers can archive a satisfactory result with a relatively shorter recovery time and minimal damage to the facial skin.
Candidates for Thermage Thread Lift
Thermage Thread Lift is a safe solution that helps improve your skin condition as long as you are not satisfied with the current condition of your skin. Candidates who should consider using this technology are listed below:
– Customers who are in good health suffer from loss of elasticity due to a lack of collagen and elastin in the skin.
– Customers who experience failed attempts with other procedure
– Customers who are afraid of a surgical facelift and prefer a less invasive procedure.
– Customers who don’t fall into any contraindications of either procedure: patients with an implantable pacemaker, an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) or any other electronic implantable device, or if pregnant or breastfeeding, or Any other contraindications as decided by the surgeons.
Working principles
– Thermage FLX:
Thermage FLX uses radio frequency to generate heat into the deep, collagen-rich layers of the skin, while the tip vibrates and cools the surface to help aid in patient comfort. The generated heat separates the water molecules from the fibrous collagen, leading to an immediate contraction, resulting in skin tightening.
– Thread Lift:
The thread used in this procedure is collagen bio-thread, contained in a thin, hollow cannula and inserted into the skin’s subcutaneous layers. The thread latches to loose tissue inside the skin and is repositioned as the needle is removed, which helps draw taunt the sagging skin.
