The subtleties of the facelift procedure with mesothreads, the peculiarities of introducing fibers into the area of the eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, and the lower part of the face. The effect of threadlifting before and after, recommendations for maximum and long-term results. Facial mesothreads are the finest biological fibers that are inserted under the skin and provide long-term tightening of the dermis and smoothing of wrinkles.
Threadlifting procedure with mesothreads
3D mesothreads are very thin fibers composed of biologically inert suture material - polydioxanone. It completely disintegrates under the skin within 180-240 days, does not cause rejection or allergic reactions. From above, the fibers are coated with polyglycolic acid.
How to make a lift with mesothreads: features of the procedure
Lifting with mesothreads is performed using a special guide needle, inside of which there is a biological fiber. The needle is very thin and flexible, which allows the beautician to insert it at the desired angle and direction.
The diameter of the guide needle is only 0.1 mm, so it passes across the muscle without injuring its fibers. Damage to the skin of the face at the puncture site is insignificant, sometimes after the procedure, small bruises may form in these places, which are easily masked with cosmetics.
The length of the needle depends on the area of lifting with mesothreads and can be from 25 to 90 mm. Basically, the treflifting procedure is performed under local anesthesia, but any area on the face can be tightened without the use of anesthesia. The thinnest needle, when correctly inserted, moves apart, and does not pierce the muscle fibers, so there is no acute pain sensation.
A facelift with mesothreads should only be performed by a qualified specialist. Despite its apparent simplicity, this manipulation requires special knowledge and experience, since the needle is inserted strictly perpendicular to the direction of the muscle fibers. To perform a high-quality ligature lifting, knowledge of the anatomy of the face, the location and direction of the muscles are required.
Despite the full compatibility of the material with the tissues of the body and its harmlessness, there are a number of contraindications for carrying out the threadlifting procedure:
- The period of acute inflammatory diseases, accompanied by high fever, weakness, decreased immunity.
- Malignant or benign formations at the insertion sites of the mesothreads.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Inflammation of the skin of the face.
- Tendency to form keloid scars.
- Autoimmune or severe somatic diseases.
- Cardiac ischemia.
- Arterial hypertension of high severity.
- Presence of previously installed non-decaying implants in the lifting area.
The cost of the procedure depends on the number of threads used, as well as on their type. Correction of wrinkles in one area will cost you 5 or 6 thousand rubles. Full face reinforcement costs from 50 thousand rubles and more.
Using mesothreads for the face
Lifting with mesothreads will allow you to remove flews, gravitational ptosis and other sagging of the skin, get rid of lip-chin wrinkles, even out the oval of the face, tighten the second chin, and improve the contour of the lips. The duration of the procedure is on average 40-50 minutes.
For a facelift, different mesothreads are used, which differ in the degree of impact on the muscles:
- Linear or line … They allow you to slightly tighten the skin, smooth out fine wrinkles, strengthen the turgor of the cheeks (read about the Botox Active Expert cream-mask for skin rejuvenation).
- Spiral or screw … Smooth the crease under the lower lip.
- Needle or cog … Reinforce facial contours, reliably tighten sagging skin.
- Mesothreads-pigtails … Strong interwoven fibers, help to remove a double chin, strong cheek ptosis.
Depending on the type of 3D mesothreads, you may need from three to thirty threads of different lengths to lift the lower part of the face:
- To eliminate wrinkles in the mouth and chin, 3-5 threads are injected on each side.
- To lift the double chin, use 8-10 needle or intertwined 3D mesothreads, or 20 linear or spiral fibers.
- To correct the oval of the face, you will need to install 20-30 linear mesothreads on each side.
- To slightly enlarge and form a clear lip contour, mesothreads are injected directly along the border.
Before lifting, the beautician draws lines with a pencil, along which the guide needles will be inserted. The result is a grid of small squares. To tighten the chin, guide needles are inserted first from one side, the threads are fixed, the needles are removed. The procedure is then repeated on the other side of the chin.
It should be noted that linear threads can be used for the first salon procedures for skin rejuvenation, that is, from the age of 25. Whereas more expensive and strong fibers with notches are recommended to be introduced no earlier than 35 years. To slightly enlarge and form a clear lip contour, mesothreads are injected directly along the border.
How to use mesothreads for eyebrows
Ligature lifting allows you to raise the eyebrows, correct their asymmetry, eliminate the drooping of the upper eyelid, tighten the sagging skin in the temporal zones. The needles are inserted upward: they start from the hairline and go to the forehead.
During the procedure, 5 to 10 mesothreads are used. The duration of eyebrow thread lifting is 15-20 minutes.
The procedure is often combined with the introduction of threads into the frontal area. This can significantly reduce deep vertical and horizontal wrinkles. Also, with the help of lifting, the glabellar folds are smoothed out.
Lifting with mesothreads of nasolabial folds
Many women are not happy with their appearance due to the presence of deep nasolabial folds. With the help of threadlifting with mesothreads, their manifestation can be significantly reduced or eliminated completely.
The procedure is carried out quickly, within 15-20 minutes. The beautician inserts the guide needles into the folds, leading the thread up to the cheeks.
To smooth out the nasolabial folds, it is required to fasten 3-5 threads on each side. Thus, in total you will need no more than 10 threads for the procedure.
3D mesothreads under the eyes
The eye area requires special attention and care. But even a reverent attitude towards your skin and constant care will not prevent the appearance of expression and age wrinkles.
Ligature lifting helps to align the area around the eyes, namely to remove crow's feet in the corners, eliminate fine and deep wrinkles, and rejuvenate the periorbital area.
No threads are placed directly under the lower eyelid, the needles are inserted closer to the temples. At the same time, the procedure allows you to tighten the cheekbone and lift the eyelid. The introduction of guide needles under the eyes is carried out using special techniques that prevent the formation of bruises or bruises.
To lift the eye area, you will need to insert three to five 3D mesothreads on each side. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes.
When deciding on a skin tightening in this area, contact a highly qualified master who has a positive experience in carrying out these manipulations.
The effect of lifting with mesothreads
The action of polydioxanone is based on the production of collagen fibers, which form a strong framework and maintain the youthfulness of the skin. The production of collagen can take up to six months, so the improvement in the condition of the skin will be noticeable immediately after the thread lifting procedure, but the main effect of the mesothread will have only a couple of months after the injection.
Use of mesothreads: before and after
In most cases, clients are satisfied with the procedure. The effect lasts for a long time - up to two years. When using mesothreads with ramifications, spikes or notched claws, facial tissues are fixed for an even longer period.
After the threadlifting procedure, you will get the following visual effect:
- The facial skin looks 5-6 years younger, it becomes smoother and more elastic.
- Even deep folds and wrinkles in the forehead and nasolabial triangle are smoothed out.
- The chin lines become more defined, sagging skin and fat deposits are eliminated.
- The face looks more expressive, an eyebrow lift gives an additional openness to the look.
- The corners of the lips rise, a spectacular contoured border appears, and crow's feet in the eye area disappear.
- The consequences of unsuccessful facial surgeries are eliminated.
- The complexion acquires youthful freshness, dark circles under the eyes disappear.
After the tightening, the skin looks absolutely natural, the great advantage is the absence of the cancellation effect as a result of the disintegration of the threads.
The threadlifting procedure is mainly recommended for maintaining the youthfulness of the skin, therefore it is carried out from the age of 25. In the case of deep and long-standing wrinkles, very strong flabbiness and sagging of the skin, huge flews and a pronounced second chin, the introduction of threads will not be able to completely eliminate existing defects.
How to fix the effect of lifting with mesothreads
One of the disadvantages of the procedure is a number of restrictions and mandatory requirements that must be met after a facelift with mesothreads to obtain the maximum result. Despite the absence of a rehabilitation period, there may be slight discomfort in the area of thread insertion after the procedure.
It is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics during the first 12 hours. During the week, you should refrain from visiting the sauna, steam bath, solarium, intense exercise in the gym. This can lead to displacement of the polydioxane fibers.
In order for the process of formation of the collagen frame to be most efficiently and reliably fixed the tissues, the following rules should be observed within 4-6 weeks:
- Watch your facial expressions - do not frown, try to avoid prolonged laughter, loud singing. Make sure that the area with the inserted threads remains at rest.
- Avoid sharp chewing movements, solid or bulky foods.
- During sleep, you need to maintain a position "on your back" so as not to squeeze the tightened area with a pillow.
It is not recommended to do various hardware procedures and mechanical peels for 1-2 months after lifting. It is better to postpone the massage of the face and neck for at least a month.
Complications after tightening with mesothreads
It should be noted that, despite the pronounced skin rejuvenation after tightening with mesothreads, the unprofessionalism of the cosmetologist can lead to the following complications after the procedure:
- Seals at injection sites … The thread may not straighten after disconnecting from the guide needle, subsequently forming a collagen bump.
- Transmission of polydioxane fibers through the skin … Occurs due to improper, superficial needle insertion. As a result, it can lead to asymmetry of the contour of the face or deformation of the skin.
- Accordion effect … If the thread is incorrectly positioned, not smoothing, but tightening of the fabrics may occur. At the same time, the skin is collected in waves and takes on an unaesthetic and unnatural appearance.
- Violation of blood microcirculation and weakening of facial expressions … It is observed with the wrong axis of introduction of mesothreads. Unlike botulinum toxin preparations, facial expressions after ligature lifting should remain at the same level, just gathering wrinkles are quickly smoothed out due to the presence of a collagen framework.
The main problem is that these consequences cannot be corrected, and you will have to put up with the resulting deformation until the threads are completely resorbed and the collagen framework breaks down.
In addition, a violation of the basic rules of hygiene by a cosmetologist can lead to infection of the skin and the formation of purulent inflammations. Often, there are cases of large bruises, bruising, swelling and bruising when the guide needle is inserted incorrectly.

Lift with mesothreads helps to eliminate most age-related or natural changes in the skin of the face. In some cases, it is more effective than the administration of botulinum toxin preparations. This is an excellent opportunity to combat age-related changes for allergenic women, since the material is absolutely compatible with body tissues and does not cause reactions or rejection. The procedure always gives a double effect - it tightens the skin and at the same time removes wrinkles.
