Russian threads are an alternative aesthetic treatment to achieve a natural facelifting effect without surgery, without general anesthesia and without long disability.

The Russian threads are made of a nonabsorbable material called polypropylene and throughout their length they have tiny “spikes” or “extensions” in several directions designed in such a way that the thread is anchored in the supporting tissue of the skin and pulls it according to the direction exerted on it. In this way you get a natural looking face lift. With the passage of time the introduced thread is wrapped by new tissue and formation of new collagen fibers, which provides a lifting effect with improved tone and decreased skin flaccidity.

The procedure offers very good results of rejuvenation in expert hands, more natural and less durable than a facelift surgery and with much lower costs. It is indicated in patients who do not want to undergo surgery or in those patients who do not have enough flaccidity or aging to perform a rhytidectomy or facelift surgery.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and the millimeter-sized incisions are lost in a few days leaving no scars almost since the very fisrt day.

It is an ideal procedure for men and women who have mild cheek flaccidity and want to enhance their cheekbones with less investment than that needed for rejuvenation treatments with last generation reabsorbable tensor threads.
