Thread sculpting has become an “internet sensation” and many beauty seekers want to feel its charm first hand, but have concerns. They are worried that if they don’t do it after the procedure, their face will get older and their skin will become more saggy. Why do you think so? In order to describe the principle of thread sculpting to beauty seekers, it is usually introduced as follows: thread sculpting is used to lift up the sagging skin, the skin becomes tighter and the person looks younger. If the threads are gone one day and the lifted skin falls off, won’t the skin become more saggy? Won’t you look older? First of all, there is a difference between the threads used for thread sculpting and just threads. By implanting absorbable threads into the superficial fascia layer, the lifting effect comes from two aspects: 1. The barbs of the threads hang on the fascia tissue and physically lift it to support, sculpt the contour and resist gravity. 2, absorbable threads in the absorption process, stimulate the collagen tissue around the threads to proliferate, making the skin tighten up and the face become small and elastic to achieve the effect of facial lifting. The commonly used wire for wire sculpture is PPDO surgical wire, which can be absorbed and metabolized in 6~8 months. After the wire is absorbed, the effect of stimulating collagen still exists, and then the effect is mainly maintained by collagen. Generally, the effect can be maintained for about 1 year, the specific time varies from person to person. Secondly, the lifting of the threads will not make the face sag all of a sudden. After the implantation of thread sculpture, artificial ligaments are formed, which play a role in lifting and solving the original sagging problem. As time grows, it gradually increases the elasticity of the local tissues and has turned into a solid mesh structure, while stimulating collagen renewal and increasing the skin’s support capacity, turning from a pre-existing artificial ligament to a support ligament. Therefore, even after the threads buried in the thread sculpture are metabolized, the skin condition will only be better, not worse, compared to without the thread sculpture. Of course, the lifting effect of thread sculpting is limited because aging occurs in several steps, i.e., wrinkle generation, laxity generation, and tissue volume reduction. When the tissue volume is reduced, what is needed is “filler + lift”. When there is sagging, thread sculpture is not suitable for you. Finally, even if you don’t do it anymore, your skin won’t sag more because of the thread sculpting. After the threads buried in the thread sculpture are absorbed, the collagen remains for a considerable period of time. This is often encountered in the clinic, where there is still a lot of resistance when the needles are reintroduced several years after the thread sculpting procedure. Therefore, even if the thread sculpting is no longer done, the skin will not sag any more than before. Thread sculpting is tantamount to delaying the aging process, but it does not prevent continued sagging and sagging and does not guarantee that the youthful state of the face will not change.
