Thread Lift
Chiang Mai ALIST Clinic offers a facelift and neck lift using dissolvable threads, a new method that provides quick and effective facial tightening, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
There are two types of threads chosen by Chiang Mai ALIST Clinic: Dragon threads and PDO threads.
Is Dragon Thread better than regular thread? How long does it last?
Everyone already knows that thread lifting is a technique to tighten the face, helping to achieve a more defined facial contour, lift the cheeks, and address sagging to create a more youthful appearance. However, ongoing advancements in medical technology have led to continuous improvements in thread lifting procedures, providing better and longer-lasting results. One such innovation is the Dragon Thread.
Dragon Thread is suitable for individuals dealing with sagging cheeks, deep wrinkles in specific areas, or those looking to lift and tighten their facial features to achieve a more slender appearance. Immediate results can be seen after the Dragon Thread procedure.
The threads are larger, allowing for a longer-lasting effect without the need for a large quantity, resulting in less discomfort compared to regular thread lifting.
Dragon Thread stimulates cell activity and collagen production beneath the skin, promoting firmness and clear tightening of the skin in the treated area.
Dragon Thread is a safe and larger alternative to traditional threads, ensuring a comfortable procedure without noticeable discomfort. The threads gradually dissolve over approximately 3-6 months and can last up to a year.
Chiang Mai ALIST Clinic's technique involves assessing the facial structure and aligning the threads to complement the face's natural contours. By using Dragon Thread, the threads are secured beneath the SMAS layer to lock the skin layers and lift them, achieving a tighter and lifted appearance.
Dragon Threads are designed to enhance facial features, reduce sagging, and provide an immediate and noticeable lift, resulting in a more refined and youthful appearance.
After the thread procedure, slight redness or bruising may occur in the treated area, which is normal and will subside within 2-3 days. It is advised to avoid pressing, massaging, or forcefully manipulating the treated area for four weeks and refrain from intense facial expressions during this period.
