Collagen thread lift

The material of these very small threads connects to the subcutaneous tissue and activates fibrosis in the surrounding area. After a few days, the epidermis is firmer and smoother as a result of natural connective tissue growth (fibrosis).

Benefits of collagen-synthesis threads

• Little down time (small hematomas are possible)
• No visible scars, only minimal entry points
• Fast healing
• Quick treatment time (15 to 40 minutes)
• Low risk of pain
• Visible result one to two weeks after the procedure

Disadvantages of collagen-synthesis threads

• The effect lasts six to 12 months
• Severely degenerated skin (elastosis) and massively sagging skin areas (dermatochalasis) cannot be corrected with it

How does the treatment work?

The treatment is carried out under local anesthesia or an anesthetic cream, which is usually sufficient. The very fine threads are inserted directly into the deep tissue (subcutaneous tissue) via a very fine cannula. The threads that will be used, the region to be treated (neck, chin, lip, etc.) and the number of threads to be inserted are discussed with the patient beforehand.

Minimally invasive procedure

The minimally invasive procedure activates fibroblasts and generates new connective tissue. As a result, facial skin is slightly tightened (bioregeneration). This gentle method leaves no wounds or scars. After a certain period of time (depending on the type of thread), the threads are absorbed by the tissue and the effect wears off again. However, the results can usually be seen for six to 12 months. It is possible to place additional threads again at any time.
