In the modern medical beauty industry, the demand for facial rejuvenation is getting higher and higher, and people hope to improve aging problems such as wrinkles and sagging without undergoing surgery. Wrinkle Threading means to achieve wrinkle removal through thread engraving. It is a very popular minimally invasive anti-aging technology in recent years.
It stimulates collagen regeneration by implanting absorbable protein threads into the dermis or fascia layer, thereby achieving the effect of tightening, lifting, and smoothing wrinkles.
This article will introduce wrinkle threading in detail from multiple angles to help you fully understand this anti-aging project.
What is Wrinkle Threading
Wrinkle burying thread is thread lift, and its core principle is mechanical lifting and biological stimulation. Doctors will accurately implant protein threads made of absorbable materials such as PDO, PLLA, PCL and other blunt needles into the wrinkles or sagging areas.
Instant lifting effect: The protein thread itself has a certain tension, which can support loose skin like an invisible lifting net, fill in fine lines, and make wrinkles lighter immediately.
Long-term collagen regeneration: When the thread gradually degrades in the skin, it will stimulate the activity of fibroblasts, promote the regeneration of collagen and elastic fibers, and continuously improve skin quality and firmness.
Zone customization: For different wrinkles (crow's feet, nasolabial folds, neck folds), you can choose threads of different thicknesses and shapes to achieve more refined treatment.
Suitable for people who do Wrinkle Threading
Wrinkle burial is not suitable for everyone, it is more suitable for the following situations:
People with mild and moderate wrinkles: such as nasolabial folds, crow's feet, Sichuan character pattern, mouth corner pattern, neck pattern, etc.
Slight facial relaxation: People who have a tendency to sag but do not want surgery to pull the skin.
Pursuing natural effects: Don’t want others to see that they are obviously “touched” and hope for a gradual younger person.
High requirements for the recovery period: people who cannot accept long-term recovery periods and hope to quickly resume daily work and life.
For people with severe facial skin sagging and obvious tissue sagging, surgical skin care or other projects may be required to achieve the ideal effect.
Advantages of Wrinkle Threading
Compared with traditional wrinkle removal methods, wrinkle burial has the following obvious advantages:
Little trauma, quick recovery, and almost no impact on work and life
Wrinkle burial thread only requires implanting the thread body under the skin through a pinhole, which will not require the skin to be cut open and sutured like surgical skin, nor will it cause large-scale scabs like laser projects.
Most people only have slight redness and swelling after surgery, and they can resume their daily work in 1-3 days. Many office workers choose to do a burial line on Friday, take two days off on weekends, and go to work normally on Mondays.
Quick effect, lifting feeling immediately
Once the thread body is implanted, it is like a hidden bracket for the skin. The wrinkles will immediately become lighter, and the nasolabial folds and puppet lines will be improved on the spot. For those who need to improve their appearance in a short time, such as before weddings or important events, wrinkle threading is ideal.
Long-term collagen regeneration, continuing youthful results
In addition to instant lifting, the thread body continuously stimulates collagen production during the gradual degradation of subcutaneous tissue, which is equivalent to "autologous repair". This means that the effect is not short-lived, but becomes more natural over time and can usually last for 12-18 months or even longer.
Customized and enhanced, local improvements are more accurate
Doctors can choose different types of threads according to wrinkles in different parts, such as serrated threads for lifting and smooth threads for fine lines to modify them, and cross-layout creates a "three-dimensional lifting net" to make the improvement more delicate and avoid "stiff faces".
High safety, fully absorbable material
Commonly used threads (PDO, PLLA, PCL) are all degradable medical materials that can be completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water in the body. They are excreted through metabolism and will hardly cause any burden on the body.
Possible risks and side effects
Postoperative swelling and bruising
This is the most common reaction, mainly because puncture and thread implantation stimulate the capillaries. Usually the swelling will be significantly relieved within 2-3 days, and the bruises will be absorbed by themselves in 7-10 days. If you need to recover quickly, you can use oral antiswelling medicines with ice and follow the doctor's instructions.
Mild asymmetry or concave feeling
In the early stage, you may feel one side stretching tighter, or there are slight bulges on the surface of the skin. This is usually caused by the thread body not being completely fixed or local edema, which will usually improve by itself in 2-4 weeks. If it is still significantly asymmetrical for more than one month, you should go back to the hospital for a review.
Transient pain or foreign body sensation
Some people will feel a tugging feeling on their faces, especially when they laugh or open their mouths. Generally, as the tissue heals, this feeling will gradually disappear.
Threads exposure or dislocation
If the doctor's operation level is improper, it may cause the thread to be pushed out of the skin, or the implantation is too shallow, causing the thread to be transmitted through light. In this case, you need to return to the hospital and be adjusted or removed by a professional doctor.
Risk of infection
If the disinfection during the operation is not strict or the postoperative care is improper, it may cause local redness, swelling, pain, and suppuration. In severe cases, antibiotics or incision drainage are required. Choosing formal institutions and following medical advice care is the key to prevention.
The operation process of Wrinkle Threading
A standard wrinkle burying process usually involves the following steps:
Face-to-face diagnosis design: The doctor designs the number, direction and level of buried threads based on the facial conditions.
Disinfection and anesthesia: Local superficial anesthesia or superficial anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience.
Implant thread: Use a blunt needle or guide needle to implant the thread under the skin along the designed trajectory.
Adjustment and fixation: Ensure the accurate position of the thread and the natural symmetrical effect.
Postoperative ice application: Reduce swelling and discomfort.
Postoperative care points
If you want to make wrinkle threading better, postoperative care is very important:
Avoid pressing and excessive expressions: Avoid rubbing your face or exaggerating your expressions the week before to prevent the linear displacement.
Keep the wound clean and dry: prevent infection, use a medical cotton swab to dip iodine to clean the pinholes.
Light diet: Avoid spicy and irritating foods and reduce swelling.
Collective supplements: Intake of protein-rich foods to assist in repair.
Regular review: Return to the hospital for review as recommended by the doctor and adjust the nursing plan in a timely manner.
Comparison of Wrinkle Threading with other wrinkle removal methods
| Method | Principle | Onset of Results | Duration of Effect | Invasiveness | Recovery Time | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thread Lift | Thread implantation + collagen regeneration | Immediate | 12–18 months | Minimally invasive | 3–5 days | Mild to moderate wrinkles, mild skin laxity |
| Botox | Blocks nerve signals | 3–7 days | 3–6 months | Injection | Minimal | Pronounced dynamic wrinkles |
| Hyaluronic Acid Filler | Fills and smooths | Immediate | 6–12 months | Injection | 1–3 days | Static wrinkles, depressions |
| Surgical Facelift | Surgical excision and tightening | Immediate | 5–10 years | Surgery | Several weeks | Severe skin laxity |
It can be seen that wrinkle threading is a compromise between injection and surgery. It has an immediate lifting effect and does not require a surgical recovery period.
Conclusion
Wrinkle Threading is an efficient, minimally invasive, fast recovery method for people who want a natural and progressive youthful life. Through reasonable design and standardized operation, facial wrinkles can be significantly improved and skin firmness can be improved, allowing you to return to your youth without realizing it.
