Modern cosmetology uses different methods of facial rejuvenation. One of them is a tightening mesonite. This technique is unique and has several features. Therefore, before deciding on such a cosmetic intervention, it is necessary to understand the essence of the process itself, to distinguish its varieties, to have an idea not only about the indications, but also about contraindications.
What it is?
Mesothreads are part of a procedure called thread lifting. There was such a cosmetic procedure in our country relatively recently. Mesothreads are special hypoallergenic devices based on polydioxanone. In terms of its structure, the substance used is a suture material that is absorbed independently. It is also called 3D, liquid threads that dissolve under the skin within six months after the introduction of a special scheme.
It is safe for cells and the body as a whole, has been successfully used in medicine for over 30 years. To moisten the implantation zones, these threads are coated with polylactic acid. The material is in thin needles that are inserted under the skin. As a rule, the thickness of the used mesothreads does not exceed 0.3 mm. Needles used for such lifting are characterized by flexibility. This is necessary so that a specialist can treat the skin in its different layers.
Features
The method of facelift with mesothreads refers to non-surgical and originates from Korea. It is based on the method of acupuncture with the principle of exposure to 14 energy channels. According to this, the method of using mesoniths will allow opening channels clogged with stress, unhealthy diet, diseases and poor ecology. The use of these threads, indeed, has a pronounced effect, since they trigger the production of collagen in tissues, which is necessary for nourishing the cells.
Due to the minimum thickness of the injected filaments, which is comparable in diameter to human hair, it proceeds painlessly. The threads allow you to create a frame that allows the skin to look toned and beautiful. Fibers envelop the filaments under the skin, so a lifting effect occurs. In addition, it helps to rid the skin of age pigmentation.
The severity of the effect will be noticeable almost immediately, which is one of the main factors in the popularity of the technique. It is universal and can be applied not only to the skin of the face. The threads are attached to the base of the needles and implanted into the skin after the specialist cleans the needles themselves.
The procedure is characterized by the duration of the effect, which in different cases lasts for 2-3 years.
However, in order to improve the condition of the skin, not only the type of threads used is of particular importance, but also the patient’s skin features, the number of needles installed and the areas themselves. The action of the mesothreads is double directional. Due to the introduction of the filaments at regular intervals in the necessary areas, they create a supporting mesh for the skin, therefore the effect of this technique is more noticeable in comparison with other cosmetic procedures. In addition, the production of collagen is carried out precisely in the places where the threads are installed, due to which the skin is evened out, acquiring the effect of natural rejuvenation.
Advantages and disadvantages
It is necessary to briefly identify the main advantages of this method, which make it popular among modern women. Besides the fact that it is non-surgical and does not require anesthesia, it can be combined with other cosmetic procedures. So, it is compatible with botulinum therapy. The advantage is the fact that to achieve the desired effect does not need a course of procedures: one session is enough.
The method allows you to set mesothreads in different areas of the face. At the same time, it has a positive effect on his condition. After that, blood circulation improves, deep skin folds are smoothed, minor irregularities disappear altogether.
However, with all the effectiveness of the technique, there are also disadvantages. Its cost depends on the number of needles used. If there are not many of them, it will not hit the budget; in the case of tightening large sections, the price does not seem small. Despite the fact that the procedure is considered painless, in some cases it not only creates discomfort when the needles are inserted under the skin, but pain is also noted. In addition, in rare cases with the rehabilitation of the skin, complications, hematomas are possible.
One of the significant factors is the choice of a qualified specialist who has permits for carrying out this kind of cosmetic manipulation. If a layman takes on the job, it can lead to serious consequences.
The technique of installing threads does not tolerate even the slightest violations. If you do it wrong, the skin will be covered with bumps or become edematous.
Kinds
It should be noted that the threads used for the cosmetic procedure can have not only different lengths, but also the structure. Regarding the length, specialists more often use varieties of 38 and 50 mm. As for the options themselves threads, they are selected taking into account the characteristics of the skin. To date, three types of thread lifting are used in cosmetic practice. It is important to understand their differences, since each type of thread is aimed at solving specific problems.
Linear
Such threads are called basic, this is the main and most common raw material in the implementation of trade-lifting. The structure of this material is smooth, such a thread tightening is considered to be preventive. This is due to its ability to slow down the aging process of the skin. Apply this type of lifting to strengthen various problem areas of the skin, including not only the face, but also the neck.
Such threads are even and have a wide range of length (from 25 to 90 mm). They are applicable for the correction of facial contours, as well as the neckline. These threads are the simplest of all. Line is nothing more than a monofilament suture material of a simple installation. It is a tool for giving the skin elasticity, correcting minor peri-fold folds, correcting the shape of the lips, as well as getting rid of the second chin.
Spiral
Such thread for threading is often called screw. They are considered quite effective, because they allow to achieve the maximum anti-aging effect. This is explained by the fact that after removing the needle, the thread takes its natural form in the form of a spiral. Such a procedure is not only effective for removing a second chin, but can also affect the shape of the eyebrows, rid the skin of linear folds, and improve the contours of the face.
The length of these threads can be 50-60 cm. They are also convenient because they can be part of a comprehensive rejuvenation of the skin. Such varieties are especially indicated for women after 40 years, and are also actively used in the area between the eyebrows. Despite the spiral structure, they do not violate the natural facial expressions.
Serrated
Such threads in cosmetology are called needle-like as well as with notches. Of all the varieties, they are the most powerful, capable of making the face lift as pronounced as possible without surgical intervention.The structure of the material is characterized by the presence of bidirectional teeth, which are located along the entire length of the thread. This feature allows it to stay inside as firmly as possible, strengthening the fabric frame.
Such threads, in addition to the above tasks, are able to eliminate the asymmetry of the face, which is their advantage. This is a contour plastics tool that can be applied, including for the skin of the body.
The disadvantage of this type of technique is possible pain during cosmetic manipulations. Therefore, before performing it, the doctor uses local anesthesia. The duration of the session usually does not exceed 40-45 minutes.

Course of operation
At the stage of preparation for the manipulation, the patient passes tests, according to which the doctor determines the presence of allergy to the materials used. In addition, it turns out the client's anesthetic tolerance. Tredlifting is carried out with preliminary cleansing of the skin at the treatment sites. The impact zone is treated with special antiseptics, and then with an analgesic in the form of a gel-like liquid.
The beautician performs mandatory markup, which allows him to see the further direction of insertion of each needle with mesonnity. To do this, use a special white pencil. Needles with threads are removed from the package and injected one by one under the skin in the indicated places.
At this stage, you need to consider: the procedure should not be accompanied by pain. If they are, it indicates the wrong mechanism of work of a specialist.
After the thread is installed and detached, the doctor removes the needle. Then the skin is again rubbed with an antiseptic preparation. If after removing the needle appeared bleeding wounds, apply hydrogen peroxide.
The approximate number of threads for different zones is as follows:
- for nasolabial folds from 3 to 5 pcs. for each;
- for lifting eyebrows from 5 to 10 pcs .;
- for chin or forehead from 10 to 12 pcs .;
- about 10-15 pcs for rejuvenation of cheeks;
- to eliminate the second chin no more than 10-15 pcs .;
- for the rejuvenation of the neck about 20 pcs .;
- for circular suspenders from 40 to 50 pcs.
Work with 3D mesothreads requires a special qualification of a doctor. In this case, there is a violation of the skin, so the doctor in the clinic takes all measures to eliminate skin infection. There should be no makeup on the face. In the clinic, the doctor performs quartz and the room. He selects the length of the thread, taking into account the characteristics and thickness of the skin of a particular patient.
Never properly selected thread sticks out of the skin, no matter how active the facial expression.
What you need to know?
You should not trust the first clinic, and especially advertising, going there to rejuvenate the skin. Despite the fact that the technique is non-operative, it can only be carried out by a certified specialist. It is worth considering: the session is not done at home, it is a violation of sterility. Before you entrust your skin to a particular specialist, you should seek advice in several places.
This will make it possible to compare the opinions of each doctor and determine who is more credible. It should be borne in mind: if the doctor begins to put pressure on the patient, assuring him of vital global rejuvenation right here and now, this clinic should be immediately excluded from the list of selected. Remember: no qualified specialist, related to his work, from a professional point of view, will not impose any method on the patient. He will weigh all the possible risks, make an anamnesis, will not boast the degree of his qualifications, but will tell you how the procedure itself and the rehabilitation of the skin will pass. He will not make the patient feel dying without cosmetic intervention.
You can choose a doctor based on the reviews that the World Wide Web is rich in today. This will make it clear who can be trusted with your health. If you are promised complete elimination of wrinkles, you should not believe such clinics. In fact, 100% get rid of them will not work because of the natural age-related changes in the skin.
The effect will be: the skin will become more toned, fresh and smooth, the number of small wrinkles may decrease. In addition, deep folds will become less pronounced. The face contour can also be tightened by reducing the severity of the “bulldog” cheeks. But no more: it is impossible to make the skin, like in an infant, you need to understand this.
Possible complications
As a rule, with the proper conduct of the procedure after it does not occur side effects. However, if there are any, this indicates incompetence of the doctor or non-compliance by the patient of his recommendations on measures during the rehabilitation of the skin. It is worth noting briefly the main points, the cause of which you need to know because sometimes non-professional beauticians try to hide their mistakes during the rehabilitation period.
- For example, if after the procedure the so-called accordion effect is noted, this indicates the incorrect introduction of needles without taking into account the anatomy of specific skin areas. In this case, the skin will be tightened. In this case, eliminate the trouble will not work.
- Other negative effects include the formation of subcutaneous nodules. They can look like small wen. The reason for their formation is the uneven distribution of the thread during needle extraction. It will not be possible to get rid of them independently: you will have to wait from complete dissolution.
- Sometimes installed threads can be seen. This suggests that they were injected into the surface layer of the skin, or it is too thin. Peculiarities of the skin in places of future processing must be clarified before it is planned to put the thread.
- If after the procedure, instead of healing the skin, suppurations and inflammations have formed, this indicates an elementary violation of sterility. In this case, even an abscess is possible.
In addition to these side effects, after the procedure, bruises and swelling may appear. These phenomena are not considered to be something wrong, since with the introduction of needles in most cases small capillaries are touched. Negative effects usually disappear in a few days. The same applies to the appearance of small folds that may appear after the session. As a rule, they pass independently within one or two weeks, since this is enough for the threads to fall into place.
However, if such an effect is noticed, the physician who is installing the mesoniths should know about it.
