The first signal to perform the thread reinforcement procedure is when signs of gravitational ptosis begin to appear. Simply put, the oval of the face begins to “float”. Neither mesotherapy nor fillers can correct this problem. More serious technologies are needed.
Facial reinforcement with threads is one of the most effective procedures for the prevention and correction of age-related skin changes, which does not require surgical intervention. This method has a small number of contraindications and allows you to quickly and effectively rejuvenate your face without long-term rehabilitation. In addition, it does not provoke the development of complications.
The main advantages of thread lift
- No anesthesia required
- No need to stay in hospital
- The risk of side effects is minimized
- The threads are invisible under the skin
- There are no scars or traces of intervention left on the skin
- The result is visible almost immediately, and over time it increases
- The effect of natural skin rejuvenation is obtained
- Facial expressions are completely preserved
- Non-surgical lifting can be repeated
Main indications for thread lifting
It should be noted that thread reinforcement is carried out both on the face and on the body. Among the main indications:
- Sagging tissues (jowls, double chin, drooping corners of the lips)
- Decreased eyebrow level, drooping eyelids
- Transverse and longitudinal wrinkles, folds, creases
- Uneven skin texture
- Low skin tone of the neck and décolleté, wrinkles in this area
- Loose body skin after weight loss / pregnancy / due to age-related changes
The advantage of thread lifting is the ability to specifically correct the problem area.
How do lifting threads work?
All lifting threads work on the same principle. They move soft tissues that have sunk down over time (soft tissue ptosis) from the center to the periphery and slightly upward, fix them in a given position, and then start the process of formation of new collagen in the skin. Neocollagenogenesis occurs thanks to a special formula of threads: they are created from special materials, which contribute to the production of new proteins that make our skin elastic and dense.
Most of the threads are absorbed and removed from the body after a certain time, but they leave a supporting frame that holds the tissue for a long time, maintaining the clarity of the contours.
There are also non-absorbable threads. In the case of non-absorbable threads, the synthesis of collagen and elastin is also activated, while the frame itself is denser, and the result is more pronounced and lasting.
How is the thread lift procedure performed?
The thread lifting procedure is performed using local anesthesia. It usually takes about an hour. At a preliminary consultation, the doctor determines the type and number of threads to achieve the desired result. Using a cannula (long needle), the threads are placed along specific lines under the skin. The punctures for inserting the cannulas are extremely small; after the procedure, there are practically no traces of the injections left.
After the lifting, you can immediately return to your normal life.
At what age is thread lifting recommended?
The first signs of sagging tissues are observed after 30 years, so already from this age you can correct the oval of the face with the help of threads. Absorbable threads provide excellent results for patients under 50 years of age. When there are many wrinkles, skin tone is reduced and severe gravitational ptosis is observed, non-absorbable threads are recommended. They are usually given to patients under 60 years of age.
Is there a recovery period after a thread lift?
A short rehabilitation period is a pleasant feature of a thread lift. The first day after the procedure, the insertion sites of the cannulas are sealed with adhesives. You need to use healing ointments for three days. This type of lifting does not imply any serious restrictions.
How long does the effect of the procedure last?
Depending on the condition of the skin and the type of threads, the lifting effect lasts differently. On average, threads last for 5 years. Once the effect has subsided, the thread lift can be repeated to maintain the result.
What threads are considered the best today?
Thread lifting has gained recognition all over the world. Therefore, more and more modifications of threads for reinforcing soft tissues are appearing on the market. Some of them prove their effectiveness, others leave the market.
Currently, the following lines of threads are considered the most effective and safe:
Clovermed threads (Clovermed)
Areas of application: Face and body.
At what age are they recommended: For age-related changes, threads are usually recommended after 40 years.
Duration of action: 3-5 years.
Non-absorbable Spring Thread threads or Clovermed threads (after the name of the manufacturer) were created in France. Today, every stage of production has been brought to perfection, which ensures and guarantees high quality products.
The threads are made of polyester fiber, which is covered with a silicone shell on top. This provides increased strength and elasticity that lasts for many years. Elastic threads do not break, so they cannot distort facial features in any way.
The structure of these threads differs from the others in the large number of teeth (24 pieces per 1 cm). The teeth are rounded and directed in 4 directions. This allows you to create a strong and reliable frame inside the soft tissues.
There are three standard techniques for a facelift: X-shaped, parallel and V-shaped. This allows you to remove sagging areas of skin, smooth out nasolabial folds, and eliminate asymmetry, for example, in case of facial nerve paralysis.
Using threads, you can remove a double chin, tighten your chest and stomach, arms and legs from the inside.
Non-absorbable threads are good because they provide very long-lasting and stable fixation and tissue tightening. Moreover, Spring Thread has a very interesting design. This is a braided thread made of cotton, which is sealed in silicone - a material that has been well studied and is used, for example, to produce implants for breast enlargement. Silicone is absolutely safe, as it forms a capsule around itself. If suddenly for some reason you need to remove the thread from the soft tissues, then in its place there will still be a capsule that continues to hold the achieved result.
A non-absorbable thread is convenient because as soon as the lifting effect begins to decrease, the doctor will be able to tighten the thread and again achieve the desired result.
Advantages of the technique
Mesothreads in general are characterized by high efficiency and level of comfort. When using Kogi threads for a facelift, the following advantages can be highlighted:
- Availability. To achieve the effect, three to six threads are enough, depending on the initial condition of the skin and the desired effect.
- Comfort of the procedure. During the lifting, the patient does not experience pain.
- Immediate effect. The result is visible immediately, and the patient does not need to stay in the center for rehabilitation.
- Minimum recovery period. For this, 1-2 weeks are enough, depending on the individual characteristics of the skin.
- Safety, since the materials do not contain toxic substances, carcinogens and are not capable of causing an allergic reaction.
- Minimum time required to complete the procedure. It takes 30-45 minutes to install the threads.
Due to the presence of notches, such threads are held much more firmly in the tissues. In addition, to achieve a pronounced effect, you can combine Kogi threads with other types of mesothreads. The results of the procedure last for one and a half years. In this case, corrections can be periodically performed with a smaller number of threads. This will help to significantly increase the period of preservation of the effect of the procedure.
SoftLift threads
Application areas: Face and body
At what age are they recommended: After 30-40 years.
Duration of action: Up to 9 years!
Thread lifting SoftLift is an innovative and at the same time low-traumatic facial sculptor. This cosmetic technique allows you to move and tighten facial tissues very delicately. Make cheekbones and chin prominent, remove sagging, smooth out nasolabial folds and other skin creases, raise the eyebrow line.
These threads can be placed both in the soft tissues of the face and in the décolleté area, chest, inner surface of the arms, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and knees.
The threads are produced by an international holding company at factories in Italy, Japan, Korea, and Russia. The most advanced materials and technologies from around the world are used in the manufacturing process.
The Soft Lift line is represented by the following types of threads: Invisible and Comfort. They differ in composition, structure, and mechanism of action.
SOFT LIFT INVISIBLE (SOFT LIFT INVISIBLE) are self-absorbable threads consisting of 80 percent polylactic acid and 20 percent polycaprolactone. These are reinforcing threads. Their main tasks are: prevention of aging, tissue revitalization, creating the basis for the formation of a supporting frame.
Polylactic acid, in turn, has high regenerative properties and stimulates the active production of collagen and elastin.
These threads also have a lifting effect. They are distinguished by a strong grip, stronger than their analogues. The thread is located in the cannula, which ensures a non-traumatic procedure.
The big advantage of Invisible threads is their length - 24 cm. This opens up the possibility for a cosmetologist to create various schemes - designs on the face and body.
SOFT LIFT COMFORT (SOFT LIFT COMFORT) - non-absorbable threads made of polypropylene. These are lifting threads. Objectives: maximum tightening, lifting sagging tissues, returning them to their original position.
These threads have very flexible, blunt-pointed needles. The flexible needle helps you reach hard-to-reach areas of the face, including the corners of the jaw. Analogs of such threads have pointed needles, which greatly injure the tissue.
A big plus is their length - 62 cm and 104 cm (for analogues, a maximum of 32 cm). With such threads it is possible to create various designs.
During production, the threads undergo special processing, which gives the material additional smoothness and eliminates porosity. This technological technique minimizes the possibility of infection of the implantation area.

Resorblift threads
Application areas: Face and body
At what age are they recommended: Usually, threads are installed from the age of 30, but it is possible earlier - according to the testimony of the attending physician.
Duration of validity: Up to 5 years.
Resorblift – French self-absorbable threads for tightening and general skin rejuvenation. The threads are made from 100% material that is biologically compatible with the human body - polylactic acid, which is completely absorbed and excreted from the body within 9-12 months. But during this time, being inside the body, it has a rejuvenating effect, activating skin renewal and slowing down the aging process. In addition, skin cells begin to actively produce new collagen of their own, which increases skin elasticity. Resorblift threads have special micro-notches directed in opposite directions from the middle of the thread. They are securely fixed in the tissues, thereby tightening the contours of the face and body. The effect of non-surgical lifting is created. A reliable supporting frame is formed around the threads, which will remain in place after the thread has dissolved.
In the upper part of the face, threads effectively smooth out facial wrinkles between the eyebrows and allow you to change the shape of the eyebrows. In the middle zone of the face, threads help eliminate general ptosis, sagging cheeks, and reduce the depth of nasolabial folds. Threads are also used to get rid of a “double” chin, tighten the skin in the neck area, and also improve the condition of areas on the inner surfaces of the arms, thighs, and abdomen.
Cost of the procedure
At a face-to-face consultation, the cosmetologist will tell you the exact price for a facelift with threads.
The doctor needs to see you to choose the appropriate type and number of threads. Usually in Moscow, facelift threads cost approximately the same; the only question is the reliability of the supplier and the qualifications of the cosmetologist. Please check with the clinic administrator by phone for the current cost.

Dermafil Happy Lift threads (Dermafil Happy Lift)
Application areas: Face and body
At what age are they recommended: From 30 years of age
Duration of action: 5-6 years.
These threads are produced only in Italy. The effect of non-surgical plastic surgery is achieved due to the special design of Dermafil threads. Designed in a herringbone shape with very small, almost invisible notches (“teeth”), these threads, when inserted under the skin, are attached using the “teeth” to the soft tissue. Thus, they form a supporting frame that tightens the contours of the face. The notches prevent the movement of fabrics and threads to other areas.
When introducing Dermafil Happy Lift threads under local anesthesia in the area of the face, neck, and body, the doctor immediately forms new beautiful contours. With the help of Dermafil Happy Lift, you can completely get rid of deep nasolabial, chin-cheek wrinkles, raise eyebrows, remove a double chin, folds on the neck, harmonize the oval of the face, and clearly outline the chin.
The main component of Dermafil Happy Lift is caprolactone - a suture material used in surgery for more than 50 years, which over time is completely absorbed in the body and removed from it naturally. During production, double transverse polymerization of caprolactone is carried out using the “Double R2” technology. Thanks to it, the skin is completely renewed due to the formation of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Introduction Dermafil Happy Lift is considered one of the safest lifting methods. There is no surgical intervention, so there are no scars left on the skin. The threads are inserted to a depth of 3-5 millimeters, so damage to large vessels or nerve endings is avoided. Facial expressions are completely preserved. The recovery process proceeds very quickly, since no serious tissue injury occurs. To obtain an instant effect, it is enough to introduce 1-3 threads per zone.
How does the thread facelift procedure work?
The thread lifting procedure is performed by a surgeon or cosmetologist in a clinic using local anesthesia. It usually takes about an hour. At a preliminary consultation, the doctor determines the type and number of threads to achieve the desired result. Using a cannula (long needle), the threads are installed along certain lines under the skin. The punctures for inserting the cannulas are extremely small; after the procedure, no traces of the injections remain.
After the lifting, you can immediately return to your normal life.
