Threadlift – Achieve a Lifted, More Youthful Appearance at Minnerva Clinic

Sagging skin, loss of facial definition, and the appearance of jowls can significantly impact how old we look and feel. If you're seeking an effective, minimally invasive solution to lift and tighten these areas without undergoing traditional surgery, a Threadlift offers a remarkable alternative. At Minnerva Clinic, we perform advanced Threadlift procedures using specialized, absorbable sutures to gently elevate sagging tissues and stimulate natural collagen production, restoring a firmer, more defined, and youthful facial contour.

Our skilled doctors at Minnerva Clinic are experts in the art and science of Threadlifts, tailoring each procedure to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals for natural-looking, revitalizing results.

Understanding Facial Aging & How a Threadlift Provides a Non-Surgical Lift

As we age, collagen depletion, gravity's effects, and volume shifts contribute to a less youthful facial appearance. This can result in:

Sagging cheeks and jowls
Loss of jawline definition
Drooping eyebrows
Loose skin on the neck

How a Threadlift Works to Counteract These Changes

A Threadlift is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting fine, biocompatible threads beneath the skin using a thin needle or cannula. These threads are often equipped with tiny barbs, cones, or cogs that anchor onto the soft tissues.

Immediate Mechanical Lift: Once inserted, the threads are gently maneuvered to lift and reposition sagging skin and underlying tissues into a more youthful position. This provides an instant, visible lift.
Collagenesis (New Collagen Production): The presence of the threads, and the micro-trauma caused by their insertion, triggers the body's natural healing response. This stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin around the threads.
Long-Term Tissue Support & Rejuvenation: As new collagen forms, it creates a supportive mesh under the skin, enhancing firmness and elasticity. Even after the threads dissolve, this new collagen structure continues to provide support.

Threadlift Results & Aftercare: Enjoy Your Rejuvenated, Lifted Appearance

Seeing Your Results

You will notice an immediate lifting effect. This initial lift will be further enhanced over the following 2-3 months as your body generates new collagen around the threads, leading to increased skin firmness, improved texture, and a more defined facial contour.

How Long Do Results Last?

The longevity of Threadlift results can vary, typically lasting from 1 to 2 years, depending on the threads used, your age, skin condition, and lifestyle. The collagen stimulation provides enduring benefits. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the lifted appearance.

Essential Aftercare

Expect Some Swelling & Bruising: Mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common and usually subside within 1-2 weeks.
Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive facial movements, and dental work for about 1-2 weeks.
Sleeping Position: Try to sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first few nights to minimize pressure.
Gentle Skincare: Cleanse your face gently and avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas vigorously for a few weeks.
Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used if needed for any discomfort.
Follow-Up: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments so your doctor can monitor your healing and results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is a Threadlift painful?

Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment areas, significantly minimizing discomfort during the procedure. You might feel some pressure or mild pulling sensations. Post-procedure soreness is usually manageable with simple pain relief.

2. How long does the Threadlift procedure take?

The procedure typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of threads being inserted and the complexity of the areas being treated.

3. How many Threadlift treatments will I need?

For many patients, a single Threadlift procedure can provide satisfactory results. Depending on your goals, a touch-up session might be considered later.

4. Is there any downtime after a Threadlift?

There is some social downtime. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and tenderness for several days to a week or two. Most people resume light activities within a few days.

5. What are the threads made of, and are they safe?

Threadlift threads are made from biocompatible materials like PDO (Polydioxanone), PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid), or PCL (Polycaprolactone), which have a long history of safe use in medical sutures and dissolve in the body over time.

6. When will I see the final results from my Threadlift?

You'll see an immediate lift, but the full results, including collagen stimulation benefits, become more apparent over 2-3 months as the skin firms and tightens further.

7. Can a Threadlift replace a surgical facelift?

A Threadlift offers a significant, minimally invasive lift for mild to moderate sagging. It does not replace a traditional surgical facelift if there is substantial skin laxity or a desire for more dramatic results.

8. Who is a good candidate for a Threadlift?

Good candidates are typically individuals in their late 30s to 50s experiencing mild to moderate skin sagging who desire a noticeable lift without undergoing surgery.

9. Are there any restrictions after a Threadlift?

Yes, you'll be advised to avoid strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, dental procedures, and sleeping on your face for a certain period to allow the threads to settle and tissues to heal properly.

10. How long do Threadlift results last?

Results typically last from 1 to 2 years, sometimes longer, depending on various individual factors and the type of threads used. The stimulated collagen provides ongoing benefits.
