Thread Lift In Delhi

How does a thread lift work?

In a typical facelift, a surgeon will remove loose skin and fat from the face. Whereas with a thread lift, the surgeon will lift the skin and suspend it. The procedure involves stitching up portions of the skin with special threads that pull back the skin. The process induces the production of collagen and helps to achieve smoother skin.

The threads commonly used include APTOS, DEFINISSE, and PDO threads. Each of them has its benefits and indications. For example, APTOS thread lifts are great to replenish the lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, brows, lips, and jowls. The PDO thread lifts help to relax the tendons and muscles as well as stimulate collagen production in the skin.

The DEFINISSE threads are a more recent advancement that interacts with the facial tissue and is resorbable. The DEFINISSE threads are very effective in lifting and reshaping the facial contour. They work by stimulating collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin production and give a very natural result.
