Threadlifting, or bio-reinforcement of the face with special threads, is a confident solution to age-related skin problems. The procedure is not new, it has proven its high effectiveness in practice and is successful among women after 30–35 years. But cosmetology does not stand still, creating new, improved preparations and materials. Darwin 3D threads are made of caprolactone, this is a new generation material. Over time, the threads biodegrade, leaving behind tightened, clear contours, a face without facial and age wrinkles, pronounced nasolabial folds.
Briefly about thread lifting
Thread lifting with 3D threads, or thread lifting, is a popular cosmetic procedure performed to tighten skin that has lost its former elasticity and firmness, helps smooth out wrinkles and nasolabial folds, model the oval of the face and emphasize the cheekbones. A high effect after the procedure is guaranteed.
The essence of the rejuvenation technique is as follows: mesothreads are inserted into the subcutaneous fatty tissue using cannulas and stretched to achieve the desired lifting effect. A collagen “framework” is formed around the threads, holding the skin in a taut state. Over time, the thread “frame” biodegrades, but the lifting effect remains.
Attention! Threadlifting threads vary in length, thickness and material. The smaller their diameter, the less traumatic the procedure will be, and therefore the fewer side effects and pain.
As for materials, there are many of them. Absorbable 3D Darwin threads are widely used for thread lifting. Let's give them special attention.
Types of mesothreads
Biomaterial strings not only tighten tissues and hold them in the desired position, but also activate collagen production processes, rejuvenating the skin. Depending on the severity of the patient’s problems and the problems being solved, different types of mesothreads are used.
Monofilament or linear threads
Monofilament is a smooth string for universal use, 25-90 mm long. They are installed in any part of the face: at the dermal level for lifting and in the muscle for increasing tone. Monofilaments are used to prevent age-related changes on the face, reinforce the neck, chin, skin on the temples and model the contour of the lips.
Spiral threads, Screw or Dauble Screw
Spiral threads are 1 or 2 monofilaments twisted into a spring. They stretch during insertion, and after removing the needle they return to their original position. Springs tighten fabrics better than monofilaments and give a pronounced lifting effect.
Spiral mesothreads are introduced at the subdermal level. The length is 50-60 mm.
FOR REFERENCE
Tatiana Kuznetsova
Monofilaments and spring threads belong to the 1st generation of biomaterial.
Thread braids, TORNADO
“Pigtails” are 2 monofilaments twisted together. They hold tissue better than 1st generation material, so they are introduced into the most problematic areas or areas with high density. Spiral mesothreads are introduced into muscle tissue, middle and deep layers of skin.
Needle threads with notches, Cog
The notches along the entire surface of the threads help them to be securely fixed in the tissues, which is why kogi are considered the most effective for tightening the oval of the face and cheeks. The strings are inserted into the middle layer of the dermis.
Liquid mesothreads
Liquid mesothreads are a bio-gel made from hyaluronic acid and zinc chloride. It is introduced into the dermis using cannulas, along the lines of the future frame. The body reacts to the gel by tightening the tissues at the injection sites, which gives a tightening effect.
ATTENTION!
Tatiana Kuznetsova
Liquid mesothreads are not used under the eyes and in the neck area.
The technique is used for loss of elasticity and tone of the skin, dehydration. From 0.1 to 3 ml of gel is injected into one zone.
IMPORTANT!

Composition and structure
3D threads DarVin (Darwin) for face lift are produced by Italian. They are made of polycaprolactone fibers. This is an innovative material created using Matrinet technology.
The presence of the polymer in the skin promotes restructuring and revitalization of the dermis, creating optimal conditions for the formation and growth of new fibers.
Darwin mesothreads have a complex structure, in the form of a triple plexus. In professional circles they are also called caprolactone 3D structure.
3D threads are transparent and smooth, and come in several sizes: 30, 50, 70 mm. They are embedded in a thin needle made of high-strength medical alloy, which does not deform due to the resistance of the fibers during puncture. Thread thickness: 0.07 mm (6/0 USP). The sterile blister contains 5 threads.

Mesothreads
MIRACU threads are the gold standard of mesothreads!
Advantages of MIRACU mesothreads:
— The carrier needles are made from the highest grade surgical stainless steel with a solid internal structure, which guarantees the strength of the needle (the process of manufacturing, grinding and polishing the needles is fully automated, which ensures a strict sequence of stages in the production process and guarantees the highest quality of each needle).
— the needles have a high-tech coating of a microlayer of biologically inert silicone, which makes their surface absolutely smooth
— the geometry of the tip of the carrier needle has been optimized: it has a unique “pine needle” shape, thereby ensuring painless and comfortable placement. There are no analogues in the world!
— using the unique Shape Tester technology, all particles of steel shavings are removed by electrolysis, resulting in the safest and “cleanest” needle.
— quality control complies with international standards CE, FDA and ISO9001/13485, which, combined with the use of high technology, guarantees flexibility, durability, and strength of the needle.
Unsurpassed diamond sharpening, flexibility and a sharp cut - all this contributes to the fact that the carrier needles cause minimal tissue damage. Inserting threads using the MIRACU carrier needle gives the clinician excellent maneuverability and the ability to control the depth of implantation.
DERLI mesothreads produced by Hyundae Meditech and White Medience. High-tech equipment, unique patented developments, quality control - all this provided the companies with leading positions in the market, and their products with the trust and recognition of leading industry experts.
The range includes threads made of materials: PDO and PCL.
Polydioxanone ( PDO) is a polymer resorbable suture material that is compatible with human tissue. This material was borrowed from surgery, where it has been used successfully for a long time. This is a completely biodegradable, sterile, allergenic, non-toxic, non-pyrogenic material with the least irritating effects.
After implantation of polydioxanone threads, after about a month, the formation of one’s own collagen occurs around the implanted threads, thus creating a framework of one’s own collagen fibers, which further provides a lifting effect, since polydioxanone is completely biodegraded within 6 to 8 months after injection.
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is another well-known, bioabsorbable surgical suture material. Hypoallergenic, fully compatible with human tissue. It has a biostimulating effect that affects the production of new collagen fibers by fibroblasts. One of the advantages of polycaprolactone threads is their white color, which is suitable for patients with thin skin or for working with areas of the face where the skin is thin (for example: the periorbital area).
MESOPROFF offers an optimal range of mesothread varieties that allow you to effectively solve the most common customer requests:
Mono threads – monofilament smooth threads for volume correction, reinforcement and biostimulating effect;
Screw/Spring threads – modified, smooth, twisted threads (spring, pigtail) for easy movement of tissue sections and correction of small folds;
— Volume/Volumetric – modified smooth threads for local volume correction;
— Co g and Barb are modified threads with notches and protrusions for moving, including heavy fabrics, along tension vectors to the fixation point.
Indications for the use of mesothreads:
Face
- vertical and horizontal forehead wrinkles
- excess skin of the forehead and its ptosis
- drooping of the lateral edge of the eyebrows
- excess skin of the upper eyelid
- “crow’s feet” and radial wrinkles of the lower eyelid, excess skin of the lower eyelid
— correction of nasolabial and labiomental folds
- ptosis and atony of the skin over the projection of the masticatory muscle
- “double chin” and excess skin above the projection and under the edge of the lower jaw
- vertical dermal lines and excess skin in front of the auricle

Body
- ptosis of the skin and its excess in areas of the body, especially on the inner surface of the shoulder, thigh, and anterior abdominal wall
— correction of post-liposuction dermal defects
— correction of stretch marks and scars
Efficiency of use
DarVin threads trigger an active mechanism of tissue neocollagenesis, thanks to which a high rejuvenating effect is achieved in a short time.
Patients 45+ should take into account that thread lifting will not help them lose 10 years; to achieve this result, it is recommended to use plastic surgery, contour plastic surgery, and SMAS lifting.
Darwin threads allow you to correct the oval of the face, make contours clearer, smooth out skin texture and refresh your appearance. An innovative technique helps get rid of fine wrinkles and hide deeper ones, sculpt cheekbones and tighten cheeks. The effect of the procedure lasts 6–10 months.
Types and description of threads
Cosmetic mesothreads are the simplest implants designed for installation in various areas of the face. Thanks to the threads, the skin looks tightened and the facial contour is smoother. The average length of a mini varies from 2.5 to 9 centimeters. The diameter is minimal, and the threads themselves are perfectly smooth. The thread material is polydoxanone. Scientists believe that it dissipates completely within 7-9 months.
Due to the complete hypoallergenicity of implants, mesothreads do not cause redness, rejection or other side effects. Polydoxanone breaks down into water and carbon dioxide, and is then excreted from the body naturally.
Linear (monofilament) implants are thin and easy to use. Ideal for the mouth and eyelid area. Unfortunately, it is problematic to correct areas with thick skin - too many linear threads will be required. This option is somewhat cheaper than needle and spiral threads, but you will have to buy more packages.
Thread braids look like braids woven in an unusual way. Thanks to the increased diameter, the threads are suitable for lifting thick skin and dense areas of the face.
Needle versions with notches are distinguished by reliable fixation and improved quality. The direction of the needles depends on the species. In total, implants are divided into two types - Kogi and Rose. The creation of a strong frame and the natural appearance of the skin are guaranteed.
Let's look at the most popular series of mesothreads for injection.
Popular brands of mesothreads
The most effective threads are from the Valencia brand. They are produced in South Korea. The assortment is represented by various needle types. Thanks to this, working with a large volume of skin is simplified. Valencia is suitable for people who are prone to allergies or have sensitive skin. The healing period is no more than fourteen days. The cost of such threads is two thousand rubles.
Darwin threads are made in Italy. They were loved due to the long-lasting effect of skin rejuvenation. Mesothreads can be used both to prevent and correct age-related changes. The invasiveness of the procedure is low - 29G needles are used for implantation. The threads are certified in the Russian Federation and comply with safety standards. Five Darwin mesothreads will cost you five thousand rubles.
Miracu is a product of DongBang. Threadlifting with their use is not traumatic, since the needles are produced using diamond sharpening. The threads do not leave marks on the face, so the rehabilitation period is shortened. Miracu is used for the correction of wrinkles, a circular facelift, and getting rid of crow's feet. The cost of one mesothread is three thousand rubles.
A special series of KogAespir are South Korean implants with unidirectional notches. This option not only gives the skin elasticity, but also helps get rid of age spots. The products are also certified and completely safe. The cost of one ordinary thread is one and a half thousand rubles. The needle version will cost more - three and a half thousand per piece.
Is preparation necessary?
The result and ease of rehabilitation largely depends on the professionalism of the cosmetologist. Therefore, when choosing a cosmetology center or salon, do not be lazy, study real reviews about the staff, and inquire about the availability of permits and certificates for thread lifting.
A consultation before thread lifting is required. On it, the cosmetologist assesses the degree of the problem and chooses the optimal way to solve it, the order of introducing threads, and their number.
The preparatory stage includes examining the patient for the presence of contraindications. For this purpose, blood and urine tests are prescribed, and medical history is studied. Women take a pregnancy test.
It is unacceptable to take medications that affect blood clotting or drink alcohol before the procedure. At least 2 weeks before thread lifting, it is prohibited to visit solariums, saunas and baths, perform peelings, deep facial massages, and any complex cosmetic procedures.
Order of conduct
Thread lifting is performed only in a cosmetology office, under sterile conditions in a strictly defined sequence. This takes 20–60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the problem and the number of threads installed.
Be sure to inquire about what threads are being inserted, their expiration date (Darwin threads for facelifts are stored for no more than 4 years), and make sure the packaging is intact.
Important point! Do not trust thread lifting to non-professionals. This is dangerous due to complications and facial asymmetry. Failure to comply with the rules of sanitation and hygiene can provoke tissue infection and an inflammatory process.
Algorithm for introducing DarVin 3D threads:
- Applying markings and thread insertion patterns.
- Cleaning and disinfection of covers.
- Conducting local anesthesia with Lidocaine and Ultracaine.
- Installation of 3D threads in subcutaneous fat tissue. Please note that the depth of insertion is important. If the threads are installed deeply, it will not be possible to achieve the desired lifting and tightening of tissues, and after superficial insertion, marks and visible tension may remain on the patient’s face.
- The puncture sites are treated with an antiseptic solution.
The lifting effect is noticeable immediately after the procedure, but this is not the final result. In the future, the effect will intensify and grow. The effectiveness of the procedure can be fully analyzed after 2–3 weeks.
How does the procedure work?
Pay attention to the expiration dates of the threads. We offer only high-quality products, and specialists will explain to you in detail the nuances of implantation and care of mesothreads. The packaging is opened in front of the client. It is advisable to arrange a fasting day before the actual procedure.
The session itself will take from forty to sixty minutes. The time is affected by the characteristics of the threads, as well as the area into which they are implanted. No further medical supervision is required. You will be able to go home immediately after the procedure.
Threadlifting takes place in several stages:
- Using special products, cosmetics are washed off the face.
- The skin is treated with an antiseptic at least three times.
- The specialist marks the implantation areas with a special marker. As a rule, these are parallel lines or a grid. The scheme is developed in accordance with the quality of the skin and the desired result of thread lifting.
- Anesthetic gel is applied at the patient's request. Pain relief is also performed using injections. This is relevant in the case of using reinforced materials and threads with notches. As a rule, linear threads do not cause pain.
- Mesothreads are inserted using thin needles. Once they are all in place, the needles are removed one by one. The edge is fixed with a finger. The frame is carefully stretched to fit the shape of the face.
- All puncture sites are treated with a disinfectant. The specialist applies a restorative composition to the skin, which will quickly relieve side effects (swelling, puffiness).
So, to tighten your cheeks, you will need from twenty to thirty threads. Ten to fifteen units are enough for the forehead and chin. For a circular facelift, from forty to fifty mesothreads are used. Nasolabial wrinkles are corrected with five to ten units, neck – with twenty.
Where is it made in Moscow and how much does it cost?
The price of a facelift with DarVin 3D threads consists of the number of threads installed, the cost of additional services for anesthesia, cleansing and disinfection of the integument. The cost of one DarVin 3D thread varies between 1100–1500 rubles.
The overall cost of thread lifting is also influenced by the class, rating of the clinic (cosmetology center), and the level of qualifications and professionalism of the staff. In Moscow, you can perform a face lift using innovative threads at the expert clinic of aesthetic medicine "Triera", the beauty clinic LS CLINIC.
Contraindications
Lifting with Darwin mesothreads should not be performed on patients under 20 years of age and with:
- inflammatory, infectious diseases;
- oncological neoplasms;
- disorders in the functioning of the cardiovascular system, in the presence of implants;
- mental disorders, diseases of the nervous system;
- disorders of the blood clotting mechanism;
- herpes in the acute stage;
- dermatitis on the face;
- exacerbation of chronic ailments;
- increased sensitivity of the integument.
Pregnant and lactating clients should refuse the planned procedure during periods of hormonal imbalance and menstruation.
Consequences and side effects
The use of Darwin threads is atraumatic and has no side effects. If the level of professionalism of the cosmetologist is insufficient, the technique of lifting is violated, and errors during the rehabilitation period can lead to swelling, inflammatory processes of the skin, pain in the places where the thread is installed, and noticeable depressions on the face.
Within 1–3 weeks, tissue restoration and collagen fiber synthesis occur. The process is complex and important, so it is necessary to adhere to the rules of care specified by the doctor:
- sleep on your stomach;
- do not use decorative cosmetics;
- exclude visiting the solarium, bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool;
- any overexertion, high loads and sports should be postponed;
- touch problem areas as little as possible;
- use only cosmetics recommended by a cosmetologist;
- try not to make sudden movements, smile widely and open your mouth;
- no massages, rubbing or cosmetic procedures for the next month.
Pain, a burning sensation on the face, swelling that does not go away for a long time, any other unusual signs are a signal to immediately visit a cosmetologist. Self-medication is also contraindicated.
In rare cases, the following complications are possible:
- herpes;
- tissue infection with subsequent inflammation;
- edema;
- facial asymmetry;
- folds are visible, the skin seems to be gathered.
Note! When lifting the face with DarVin 3D threads, the thinnest needles are used that do not deform and do not damage the blood vessels in the skin. Any complications are the result of the cosmetologist’s low professionalism and the client’s mistakes in postoperative care.
What to do after the procedure
The needles used for thread lifting cause little damage to the skin, so punctures from them heal within 2-5 days after the procedure.
From the second to the sixth day, the face is wiped with non-alcohol antiseptics: chlorhexidine, miramistin, to prevent infection. Ointments: Bepanten, Lyoton will speed up skin healing. ATTENTION!
Tatiana Kuznetsova
On the first day after the procedure, apply cold compresses for 15 minutes every 2 hours. The next day the patient can return to his normal daily routine.
Comparison with other threads
3D Darwin threads are one of the three popular threads for thread lifting. They are non-invasive, safe to use, high quality and effective in solving age-related skin problems.
The polymer from which they are made does not cause allergies or tissue rejection, is easily perceived and actively stimulates the synthesis of a new collagen “framework”. Unlike competitors, DarVin threads can be used after 20 years.
Among worthy competitors, cosmetologists highlight:
- "Aptos" with notches - belong to the category of non-absorbable threads, they cope well with tissue ptosis. The lifting effect is pleasing for several years, but there is a high risk of complications and rejection.
- “Tornado” - have a spring shape and are effective for correcting mature skin. They are recommended for use by patients 50+.
- "Kogi" - self-absorbing threads, provide high results. Unlike Darwin threads, the biodegradation process is shorter, lasting up to 6 months.
Healing period after the procedure
The effect of the procedure can be assessed even without paying attention to slight swelling. It grows over the course of a month or two. During the first seven days, the skin is restored, as during the reinforcement they are slightly damaged.
Hematomas, swelling and increased sensitivity persist for up to ten days. To speed up healing, it is better not to use any extraneous means, just follow the doctor’s requirements.
For the first few days, treat your skin with sterile wipes. Use an alcohol-free antiseptic to wash your face. After each cleansing of the skin, apply Bepanten cream. Avoid touching your face with your hands, change your bedding more often (ideally every day), and sleep only on your back.
The material dissolves within four to eight months. For a month, it is advisable to refrain from active sports, visiting the pool, sauna and solarium. Try to minimize negative emotions in your life.
The effect of the threads lasts for several years. The procedure can be repeated at your discretion, but a repeated consultation with a doctor is required. The result is prolonged through the use of various types of mesothreads,
Advantages and disadvantages
Positive properties of Darwin threads:
- atraumatic, do not cause allergies or rejection;
- provide a lasting lifting effect;
- can be used to correct young and mature skin;
- high strength;
- do not require special training;
- have a short rehabilitation period;
- Suitable for sensitive areas around the mouth and eyes.
The disadvantage of the innovative technique can be considered the high cost of the material.
Patient reviews
Patients respond both positively and negatively to lifting with mesothreads, including DarVin 3D threads. The main factor of dissatisfaction remains the discrepancy between the expected effect and the achieved one in cases where the procedure was performed after 45 years. Therefore, when going for thread lifting, keep in mind that for young patients the procedure will provide a more lasting and noticeable result than in adulthood.
Here's what users say about facelift with mesothreads:
In the following review, the patient is absolutely dissatisfied with the procedure performed and the result after it. It should be assumed that this is caused by the doctor’s unprofessionalism.
And in this review, the cause of dissatisfaction was the dubious quality of the threads and the patient’s unjustified expectations.
DarVin 3D threads are a new generation of mesothreads in cosmetology, capable of safely and quickly restoring the oval of the face, hiding wrinkles, lifting the corners of the eyes, mouth and sculpting cheekbones. The advantage of the procedure is a high result and a minimal rehabilitation period. However, do not forget about the importance of the level of professionalism of the cosmetologist, otherwise the effect may be the opposite.
