Abstract

Objectives: A unique thread cog design and inert, non-reactive materials make this one of the most powerful, long-lasting, and safest nonsurgical thread lifts on the market. The thread has been analyzed for 11 years in thousands of patients and there is no fibrosis at implantation sites, very few complications, and high patient satisfaction. Both the nonsurgical and surgical approaches will be shared for the face, neck, and brow. Adjunctive therapies complement this procedure, including internal bipolar RF and fat grafting for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation in the right patient. Introduction: Drawing from over a decade of clinical use, this talk focuses on the utilization of a permanent, biologically inert thread designed to achieve effective and lasting facial lifting. This thread is particularly well-suited for patients with mild to moderate laxity in the mid-face and lower third of the face, offering predictable and stable results. The presentation will explore the unique characteristics of the thread and its broad applicability in achieving natural-looking outcomes with minimal downtime. Materials / method: This session is a comprehensive discussion of the author’s clinical experiences, including the indications, contraindications, and optimal patient selection for this thread. Various techniques for thread placement, best practices, and unique characteristics of the material will also be addressed. Insights will be drawn from extensive clinical data and laboratory analyses spanning 11 years and thousands of patients. Results: The thread has demonstrated excellent patient tolerance and biological compatibility, supported by long-term clinical outcomes and laboratory studies. Its use has resulted in durable lifting effects, making it a reliable option for both surgical and non-surgical candidates. It is particularly effective when combined with other modalities, including internal bipolar radiofrequency, fractional RF, fat grafting, and minor surgical procedures. Conclusion: This thread lift technique offers a safe and effective solution for facial rejuvenation, suitable for a wide range of patients. Its versatility allows for seamless integration with adjunctive treatments, enhancing outcomes and providing personalized care for patients seeking minimally invasive or combination approaches to facial rejuvenation. This presentation will provide a detailed roadmap for clinicians seeking to optimize their results with this innovative thread lift technology.
