3D mesothreads are the latest method of skin tightening, which combines all the advantages of mesotherapy and contour lifting. Thanks to them, rejuvenation has become even easier - you no longer need to go under the knife of a plastic surgeon to “throw off” a few years. You can do this procedure in our BL clinic.
What is thread lifting with mesothreads?
Let's talk in more detail about what this technique is, what reviews characterize it, and what effect you can ultimately expect if you decide to undergo such a procedure. So, 3D mesothreads are a combination of two areas - mesotherapy and skin tightening. Reinforcement using this method in cosmetology has also received a second name - thread lifting.
The main objective of the technique is to reduce ptosis and general improvement of the skin due to the material introduced into it, as well as subsequent enhanced regeneration processes. The procedure causes almost no complications, is easily tolerated by the body and allows you to achieve significant positive results.
Indications for use
We will specify the list of indications for the introduction of 3D mesothreads under the skin. These include:
- ptosis of individual areas of the face or the entire contour;
- the presence of expression and age wrinkles on the forehead, above and below the eyes, in the area of the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, between the eyebrows;
- general unsatisfactory condition of the skin (unnatural complexion, low tone, lumpiness and unevenness).
Having done thread lifting, within a few days you will be able to record the first positive changes. The skin of the face will tighten, wrinkles will smooth out or become less pronounced, the gray tint will disappear, and skin defects will also disappear.
Lifting with mesothreads is carried out not only for the face, but also for individual problem areas of the body. This could be the hands, neck, décolleté, breasts, buttocks, thighs. In this case, several rather important conditions must be observed:
- moderately expressed problems;
- absence of excess fat.
You can often find reviews that 3D mesothreads did not give the expected result. This happens precisely because people neglect the above indications for the procedure. In pursuit of beauty, they self-diagnose and undergo operations contrary to doctor’s recommendations. In this case, it is not surprising that there is no effect from the introduction of mesothreads.

Types of 3D mesothreads
First, let's answer the question, what exactly are these threads? This is a suture material consisting of 100% polydioxanone, a substance that is fully compatible with human skin tissue. To rejuvenate the face, this material is injected subcutaneously using a very thin needle (maximum 0.3 mm in diameter). Thanks to this thickness, the skin is practically not injured. In our BL clinic, mesothreads are also inserted in an atraumatic way - using blunt-ended cannulas that push the tissue apart rather than pierce it. This method of inserting threads does not leave any bruises.
Types of mesothreads:
- Smooth or linear
- Spiral,
- Needle-shaped with notches,
- "Pigtails."
- "Kogi"
All of them allow you to achieve one effect - skin tightening and a clearer contour.
How the effect is achieved
3D mesothreads differ from similar techniques in that they do not tighten tissue, are introduced in the form of a mesh and remain in the body for approximately 6-7 months. At the end of this period, they completely dissolve, breaking down into water and carbon dioxide. Instead, a supporting frame of natural collagen remains, with which the threads are “braided” during their engraftment. It keeps the contour for about 1-2 years, depending on the condition of the skin.
Indications for use
3D mesothread lift is suitable for almost everyone who wants to correct age-related imperfections and tighten the oval of the face. Indications for this are the following problems:
- nasolabial folds and marionette lines,
- small jowls,
- small wrinkles,
- fuzzy contour of the oval face,
- wrinkles between the eyebrows and on the forehead,
- drooping outer corners of the eyebrows and crow's feet,
- wrinkles around the mouth,
- saggy skin after sudden weight loss,
- unsightly skin in the neck and décolleté area,
- sagging skin on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs.
The procedure is also suitable for preventive purposes after 30 years.

Contraindications
Skin tightening with 3D mesothreads will not suit you if you have:
- infectious diseases (acute and chronic in the acute stage),
- inflammatory process at the site of intended impact,
- oncology,
- poor blood clotting,
- During pregnancy and breastfeeding,
- mental disorders,
- tendency to form keloid and hypertrophic scars,
- autoimmune diseases,
- there are non-biodegradable fillers,
- implants in the area of thread insertion,
- fever, elevated temperature.
In addition, the procedure will not be effective for severe gravitational ptosis and for those with thick skin and severe creases. Mesothreads are also not suitable for eliminating lower eyelid hernia.
How does the procedure work?
The session lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of threads introduced. It all starts with disinfection and anesthetic treatment of the correction area. Typically, anesthesia is provided by applying a special cream for 30 minutes. After this, the cosmetologist begins to introduce threads, as we have already said, using very thin needles. The result will be noticeable within a few days. The skin will become tighter and fresher, and facial contours will become clearer.
The principle of operation of the technique
Why does the procedure give such positive results? The thing is that mesothreads have a unique composition. The main active component of this product is an external coating of polyglycolic acid.
Introduced under the skin, 3 D threads form a dense frame that creates new attractive contours of the face or other area of the body that you have treated. The most important transformations begin later: when dissolving, the threads release useful components, which stimulate the launch of regeneration processes. They contribute to:
- improving blood circulation;
- optimal supply of skin cells with oxygen;
- saturation of tissues with nutrients;
- stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin.
In about six months, when the 3D mesothreads disintegrate into water and carbon dioxide, in their place there will already be new connective tissue that can hold the skin in the required position.
Threadlifting with 3D mesothreads implies an effect in several directions at once. Thus, technology has a beneficial effect:
- to the deep layers of the dermis, improving internal processes;
- on the outer layers of the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and eliminating blemishes.
Introduction of mesothread
The main stages of lifting with mesothreads
Reinforcement does not require any special preparation from the patient. As a rule, the session begins with a preliminary examination of the problem area. After this, the specialist draws up a scheme for placing threads under the skin. Then the skin is treated with an antiseptic composition, and then with a special anesthetic cream (local anesthesia).
Mesothreads for the face and body have a minimal diameter, due to which they do not create any discomfort in soft tissues. They are inserted under the skin to a depth of 3 to 8 millimeters using a particularly thin and flexible steel needle.
Threadlifting takes no more than 30-40 minutes, after which patients can leave the clinic and return to their business. Reviews contain information that a short rest during the first 24 hours will be very helpful.
When does the effect of the procedure occur? It is believed that the first changes will become noticeable within a few hours and will reach a maximum by the end of the rehabilitation period. The results obtained last for approximately two years.
How is the procedure done?
- Local anesthesia. A numbing injection or numbing cream will make the procedure less painful. General anesthesia is not required.
- Applying markings to the skin. The doctor determines the correction zones. A needle or cannula with a thread attached to it is inserted in selected places at a certain angle. It is then pulled under the skin to the point of maximum ptosis.
- Removing the needle. The end of the mesothread is carefully pulled in the opposite direction. Soft tissues also shift along with them. The duration of the procedure is from half an hour to 50 minutes (depending on the complexity of the correction and the selected area).
After installing the thread, only one small puncture is formed on the skin at the point where the needle enters. Over time, it will disappear without leaving any scars. The initial effect of lifting is noticeable immediately after completion of the procedure. However, you will be able to fully enjoy the transformation after 2-3 weeks. This time is enough for the soft tissues to get used to their new position.
After lifting with Lead Fine Lift mesothreads, you will not have to stay in the hospital. Immediately after the procedure, you will go home and be able to resume your usual activities. Thread lifting does not require the use of compression masks and dressings, as is the case with surgical rejuvenation. At the same time, the effectiveness of the procedure is comparable to plastic surgery.
Side effects of the procedure
In addition to the significant positive effect that thread lifting has on problem skin, there are also certain negative consequences. So, after the procedure the following complications may occur:
- puffiness and swelling;
- pain (in extremely rare cases, temporary loss of sensitivity);
- bruises, bruises, hematomas;
- sensation of a foreign body under the skin (for one to two days);
- tuberosity of the skin.
A lot depends on how professionally the facial mesothreads were installed. One wrong move can provoke irreversible consequences and complications, which can only be eliminated with the help of plastic surgery. When choosing a cosmetologist, pay close attention to reviews of his work, this will help you find a true professional.
In most cases, thread lifting with mesothreads is quite easy; side effects go away on their own after a few days. You can minimize possible complications by following the recommendations of a specialist.

How is the threadlift procedure performed?
Before undergoing the procedure, the patient must consult a doctor, confirming the absence of relevant contraindications, determining the appropriate number of mesothreads and the preferred area of correction. For thread lifting, local anesthesia is used, with mandatory treatment of the skin with an antiseptic. The patient lies on a couch or is in a special chair. Appropriate markings are made to insert threads under the skin. Next, it is as if the skin is stitched with threads in designated places. After the thread is installed in the appropriate position, a fairly simple disconnection from the needle is made, with it located under the skin. The procedure lasts on average for 30-40 minutes. A prerequisite before undergoing the procedure is a consultation with a specialist, confirming the absence of these contraindications, establishing the appropriate number of threads and the area of correction.
Rehabilitation after thread lifting with mesothreads
What manipulations need to be performed at home after mesothreads have been installed for a facelift? There are several basic rules in cosmetology that are also relevant in this case. These include:
- reduction of physical activity;
- reducing hygiene procedures in relation to the problem area to the minimum possible;
- rejection of bad habits;
- reduction of physical pressure (for example, if you had facial reinforcement done, then in the near future you will only have to sleep on your back);
- avoiding the influence of high or extremely low temperatures on the skin (after the procedure do not visit saunas, baths, etc.).
Please note that if you want to conduct additional rejuvenation sessions using a different method, wait until the end of the recovery period and consult with your doctor about the possibility of additional manipulations. It is the opinion of a specialist, and not the reviews of girlfriends, that should be taken into account in such an important issue.
What are the advantages of lifting with LFL threads over other techniques?
- Minimal damage to skin and internal tissues.
- Lift without surgical incisions.
- Microneedle entry points leave no trace.
- The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
- Short recovery period.
- No scars on the skin.
What manipulations are threadlifting with 3D mesothreads combined with?
Hardware, chemical or injection cosmetic procedures are not contraindications, but on the contrary, they allow you to improve and prolong the aesthetic result of thread lifting. 14 days after lifting with 3D mesothreads, the following manipulations can be performed:
- contour plastic surgery;
- radio frequency (RF) lifting;
- Botox injections;
- plasma lifting;
- mesotherapy;
- biorevitalization;
- gentle superficial peeling.
More traumatic procedures (laser, deep chemical peeling), massage techniques are recommended to be used no earlier than a month after thread lifting with 3D mesothreads.
Contraindications
Of course, thread lifting with mesothreads is not suitable for everyone and not always; in some cases it may be better to refuse such safe manipulations. In the following situations, reinforcement with threads is not carried out:
- lactation and pregnancy;
- cancer and autoimmune diseases;
- blood diseases;
- inflammatory foci (in the problem area);
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- feverish condition;
- problems with the central nervous system;
- colds, weakened immunity.
Main types of threads
Types of 3D mesothreads
Reinforcement is carried out using several types of threads. So, it is customary to highlight:
- Spiral mesothreads (the main purpose is enhanced lifting; they have a fixed length of 5 to 6 centimeters; they are used mainly in the décolleté area, for the correction of nasolabial folds and the space between the eyebrows).
- Mesothreads with notches (often called needle threads, are considered one of the most effective; the main area of application is lifting the cheeks and sagging facial contours).
- Linear threads (the length of the material can range from 2 to 9 centimeters; used under and above the eyes, in the area of the lips, forehead, neck.)
Varieties of 3D mesothreads – a large selection of individual possibilities
- Linear - in the form of thin, smooth fibers, the length of which varies between 25-90 mm. Such threads are widely used for lifting and rejuvenating the face in the chin, lips, neck, also around the eyes, when reinforcing the cheeks, for the effect of lifting and tightening the oval of the face, the temporal region, gradually smoothing out the areas of the upper eyelids and forehead. The size of the linear mesothread is determined individually depending on the specific area of the skin for the procedure; the thickness of the skin, the nature and degree of age-related changes are also taken into account.
- Spiral threads are a universal option, which can be used separately or in combination with other mesothreads. Such spiral threads reach a length of 50-60 mm, with straightening and restoration of the original shape after stretching due to the characteristics of the material itself. This technology is widely used for smoothing labiomental and nasolabial folds, for lifting eyebrows, improving the contour of the chin, and providing a rejuvenating effect for the décolleté area.
- Needle threads provide a pronounced lifting effect due to notches along the entire length of the fibers. Thanks to this feature of the product, the long-lasting effect of fixing straightened skin is maintained. The procedure for introducing such threads is accompanied by a painful effect, so work with local anesthesia is required. The material has found its widespread use in lifting the middle third of the cheeks and face.
