Thread technology can rightfully be considered one of the most popular and effective methods in aesthetic medicine. Their main feature is that this is the only procedure that can be compared in terms of efficiency with surgical lifting, as it allows you to directly move the tissue. It is due to this feature that thread methods are used today not only for face correction, but also for improving other areas, in particular the neck area.
Read the interview of a candidate of medical sciences, dermatovenereologist, cosmetologist, associate professor of the department of reconstructive and plastic surgery, cosmetology and cellular technologies of the FPO Russian National Research Medical University named after M.V. N. I. Pirogova Alisa Sharova.
What problems can be solved with a thread neck lift?
Neck rejuvenation is a rather difficult problem from the point of view of a cosmetologist, because this area differs in its physiology and anatomy from the face. Many techniques that we can apply on the face are not always applicable on the neck. On the other hand, this zone ages and often betrays a woman's age much more clearly than facial changes.
Neck thread lifting with Aptos threads – this is a very correct and physiologically justified procedure, which allows both preventing the further manifestation of aging of the neck, and, to some extent, restoring this area and restoring its youthful appearance.
But, of course, we, as cosmetologists, do not work with one technique, and very often doctors ask what needs to be done to get a pronounced effect, and at the same time create the most comfortable conditions for the patient. This requires both rehabilitation and preparation for the thread lifting procedure, because we understand that thread technologies bring cosmetology very close to surgery. And therefore the correct preparation of the patient before the procedure – this is the key to a long-term and high-quality result, as well as successful rehabilitation.
What are the features of preparing a patient for a neck thread lift procedure?
There are a few key points to highlight here. Firstly, this is the correct selection of patients, because we can not do everything, and we need to clearly define where the patient is surgical and where – cosmetic. When we talk about preparation, by and large, we can prepare a patient for a thread lift in the same way as for a surgical procedure.
It is very important to use those techniques that will affect the main links in the pathogenesis and manifestations of skin aging, as well as predict the reactions that we can get after thread lifting, and these are inflammatory reactions!
Accordingly, it is necessary to assess the patient's immune status and the level of his stress, because in high stress, the healing processes are much harder and more difficult for the patient to perceive. It also controls the tone of the subcutaneous muscle of the neck – platysma. For this, first of all, botulinum therapy is used.
In my opinion, botulinum toxin injections in this case are one of the central and very important points, because they allow you to limit the mobility of the skin in the neck area, thus improving the conditions for the subsequent integration of threads, and get a much more pronounced and high-quality result.
As for the preparation of anti-stress and immunoregulatory – it can be drugs taken orally: adaptogens and vitamin-mineral complexes, as well as placental therapy. The latter, in my opinion, is one of the very promising and effective methods that allow you to quickly rehabilitate the patient after the procedures, get a pronounced increase in their results, and also prepare the patient for certain manipulations.
What does the rehabilitation of patients after a thread neck lift mean?
As for rehabilitation – it is important to highlight time periods.
- Early period, when there are acute post-procedural manifestations, primarily traumatic. Our task at this stage – create conditions for good healing, prevent infectious complications, and minimize the acute inflammatory reaction. For this, drug therapy with anti-inflammatory drugs helps us well, as well as in some cases, the appointment of a short course of prophylactic antibiotic therapy. Plus, we should not forget about hardware cosmetology, which also allows us to quickly cope with post-procedural swelling, inflammatory reactions, bruises and soreness. These are low-intensity laser radiation, microcurrent therapy, mechano-vacuum therapy.
- As for the medium and long term – it is more of a consolidation and maintenance of the result. Here we can connect other hardware cosmetology techniques, for example, laser technologies that allow us to work with the quality of the skin. These are also injection techniques, such as biorevitalization, plasma therapy and complementary contouring techniques to fill the neck furrows. An important role is also played by the work with the quality of the skin with the help of mesotherapy, plasma therapy and amino acid formulations. In this way, we create an additional incentive for skin cells when they respond to the implanted threads, and create the most favorable conditions for them to realize their potential.
What determines the duration of recovery after thread techniques?
Of course, it depends on what technique we use, how many threads we put, and how aggressive our procedure is. In my practice, I try to use low-traumatic techniques, which involve the implantation of threads using a cannula. Aptos threads, which are represented in Ukraine by Top cosmetics, have such methods as Excellence Visage and Excellence Body, because they give good results in reinforcing and strengthening the structures of the neck, but at the same time, the patient practically does not turn off daily life, recovers very quickly, and the rehabilitation process proceeds as comfortably as possible for him.

What are the main advantages of Aptos thread methods?
Certainly, thread technologies – it not surgery, and we must understand where there is a limit to our capabilities. But, unlike surgery, thread technologies allow not only to mechanically move the skin and soft tissues, but also work for a long-term result. This is due to the stimulating effect of the thread structure itself, since as biodegradation occurs, collagen synthesis is stimulated by fibroblasts, and we see a real improvement in skin quality. This is confirmed by the histological data that have already been obtained. As for the comparison of Aptos thread methods, presented in Ukraine by Top cosmetics, with other cosmetology techniques – here the main advantage lies in their similarity with surgical procedures.<
Thread technologies – these are techniques that allow you to really move tissue, which no other technology can do.Although we call a lot of things in cosmetology lifting, but, as a rule, we are talking about either indirect or visual lifting, but not true. And just filament technologies allow to move tissues, redistribute and drape skin folds, and thus obtain an effect that brings this technique closer to surgical lifting. I believe that this is the main advantage of Aptos.
thread methods.
