External factors such as sunlight (visible, ultraviolet and infrared), smoking and air pollution, as well as age-related structural changes of bones, ligaments, fat pads, muscles and skin worsen the appearance of the patient.

, for this a special 5-point scale.

wrinkles on the skin of the neck;- changes in the texture of the skin of the neck;
- platysmal bands;
- double chin.

Neck Thread Lift: Expert's Guidelines for Preparation and Rehabilitation Selection of threads and techniques for their setting for different age-related changes in the neck
When a simple neck rejuvenation is required in terms of
skin texture improvement, it is recommended to use monofilament or PDO screw-threaded threads as these threads improve microcirculation and collagenogenesis, and thus correct skin texture.
Thread setting methods:
- A, B - cross technique;
- C, D- hammock;
- E - linear technique. When volume reduction is required due to a double chin,
are injected using the cross-hatching method. The hammock technique is best used for severe sagging skin to ensure good fixation in the mastoid region.
Linear technique is suitable in cases where a simple increase in volume with threads is required, for example, for correction in the area of "Vene ring

One hour before the procedure, local anesthesia is administered using
a mixture of prilocaine and lidocaine. To insert the toothed threads, local infiltration was performed using
2% lidocaine with epinephrine 1:200 000. An 18 gauge needle was used to create the entry point. After that, the insertion of the thread was carried out with observance of aseptic precautions.

Patients were advised not to open their mouths for 48 hours, and to refrain from smoking, vigorous exercise, and beauty treatments for a week.
PDO (
polydioxanone) and PLLA (polylactic acid) threads stimulate fibroblasts, collagenogenesis and neoangiogenesis, thereby improving skin texture and firmness. Repeated sessions
of thread lifting may be required to achieve and maintain the desired result.Thus, threads can be used to improve skin texture as well as eliminate wrinkles and laxity with minimum discomfort
