FAQ
Thread lifting is performed using moderate infiltration anesthesia, for which a 1% solution of Ultracain is injected into the proposed puncture area and along the contour of thread placement. Some patients may experience unpleasant sensations. The same reaction is possible at the beginning of the procedure, when the puncture is made through which the threads will be inserted. In addition, it should be noted that pain sensitivity increases during menstruation, so it is recommended to perform the procedure after this period is over.
No preliminary preparation is required. However, approximately a week before the correction, it is advisable to refrain from taking antiplatelet agents (acetylsalicylic acid, aspirin, dipyridamole, pentoxifylline, xanthinol nicotinate, etc.) and biologically active additives (dietary supplements) that affect blood clotting. If the medication has been prescribed to you for serious medical reasons, consult with your treating physician.
Complications after thread lifting are quite rare. Hematomas, inflammatory reactions, asymmetry, hypercorrection, contouring of threads, linear bleeding along the path of thread placement, and skin retraction at needle puncture sites are considered uncommon but acceptable situations. These symptoms can last from a week to 3 months and usually resolve on their own. Medical observation is required if such symptoms occur.
Depending on the area of correction, the patient's age, and individual preferences, non-absorbable or absorbable surgical threads are used. The former are made of polypropylene, a synthetic suture material that has been used in surgery for over 50 years. It is safe, non-allergenic, and not rejected by the body. Absorbable threads are made of biosynthetic suture material called polylactic acid, which has also been used in medicine for over 15 years.
Polylactic acid is completely eliminated from the body within 360 days. Additionally, the threads contain L-lactic acid, which provides additional rejuvenating effects by activating natural skin cell renewal processes. L-lactic acid is released until the threads are fully absorbed, resulting in continuous improvement of the procedure's outcome over time.

The recovery period lasts about 1-2 weeks. To shorten the recovery period, the following may be prescribed:
- Lymphomyosot - 15 drops 1-2 times a day (there may be contraindications, consult with your treating physician).
- Plasma lifting - before, during, and after the procedure, and every 7-10 days (a total of 3-4 procedures).
- Microcurrent therapy and other restorative procedures - on the day after correction and throughout the entire recovery period.
- Medical cosmetology - 2-3 weeks after the procedure.
- Mesotherapy, biorevitalization, Botox - 2-3 weeks after thread insertion.
The result is noticeable immediately after the procedure and becomes more pronounced by the end of the second week. The duration of the effect depends on the correction area and the type of threads used. With absorbable threads, the effect lasts for 1.5-2 years, while with non-absorbable threads, it can last up to 3-5 years. The procedure can be repeated no earlier than 2 months. The number of procedures is determined individually by the treating physician.
