Have you heard many great things about thread lifts and want to undergo the skin care treatment yourself? Here are a few things you can expect from your thread lift experience!
Gradual facial rejuvenation
The effects of thread lifts are usually not immediate – in fact, it may take you a couple of weeks to begin to notice the effects of your thread lift. This is because the main purpose of thread lifts is to boost natural collagen production in the body – a process which takes time.
Increased collagen levels in your body will improve your overall skin complexion, by restoring flexibility in the skin, lifting the skin as well as keep it markless. However, to keep your body’s collagen production consistent, you may also need to receive maintenance treatments every six to twelve months, depending on your skin’s condition.
Potential side effects
Along with the benefits of thread lifts are the potential side effects. No skin care treatment comes without risks and thread lifts fall into the same boat. Most of your side effects will occur during the first day or two after your procedure – and depending on your skin’s health, can resolve rather quickly.
Potential side effects of thread lifts include:
- Infection
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Numbness
- Slight asymmetry in parts of the face
- Small suture bumps under the skin
You can expect many great things from thread lifts – however not all will grant you the same effects. This is because there are many different brands of threads used in thread lifts such as the Matrix PDO Mono Threads.
It is important to research which type of thread you will be losing and compare its potential effects with your expectations and desires before committing to a procedure. Consulting with a skin care specialist about your skin’s circumstances and skin care treatments available to you may also be helpful.
