00:00Hey friends, I'm Stacey and this is Gorgeously Aging. Thank you so much for sharing a piece
00:11of your day with me. Today you guys we are talking about thread lifts and there is so much
00:17misconception and flat out lies out there in the industry and I want to dispel some of those and
00:25also just have a very candid conversation about my experience with threads and why I have hundreds
00:31of them in my face, what their benefits are, and which kinds of threads you should be wary of.
00:37There's also a lot of bias in the industry, especially surgical bias. Obviously surgeons
00:43want you to have surgery, but there is a time where surgery is needed and threads aren't the
00:49best option. So I want to talk about that today and just share my honest experience and who I think
00:57might really love threads and who I think may be disappointed by them. So we're going to jump
01:03right into it and I just want to show you guys an image. This was my thumbnail and it just shows
01:11some of the places on my face I've had threads around my eyes, on my cheeks, pretty much everywhere
01:16I have threads. So threads can be a really valuable tool in not only creating lift and support under
01:26the skin, but acting almost as a filler. So the areas where you can use threads to plump up the skin
01:33where you've had volume loss would be like the nasolabial folds, the marionette lines. You can use them
01:38under the eyes. You can really use them anywhere on the face. So for those of you who are unfamiliar,
01:44threads can be made up of several different materials. PDO are the most common, polydeoxidone.
01:51There's PCL, polycaprolactone, and PLLA, polyolactic acid. I personally love PDO threads. They are very
02:00gentle in the skin. They are like the material of dissolvable sutures and over time they dissolve
02:06and as they dissolve, collagen is built up around those small threads, creating a natural collagen
02:14meshwork in the skin. Some of the threads that have gotten a bad name are basically those same types
02:22of threads but very thick and they almost go in like a surgery. You're numbed deep in the tissue.
02:29It's a big cannula that goes in. They pull and you might have seen the images where they kind of pull
02:34up these threads that are sticking outside of the skin and that lifts the face and gives you a thread
02:40lift. Now even smaller threads give the face lift. It's just different. It's different mechanics.
02:47So the ones, the really robust, thick, thick lifting threads do have some potential problems.
02:54Some people have liked them. They're not something that I would opt for but some people really enjoy
03:00those types of lifting threads. I think when you get to that point where you're having a really deep
03:05cannula thread and you're having those long strings of thread pulled out and they're pulling down tight
03:12and really pulling back, that's probably a good time to consider surgery. One of the things I wanted
03:19to show you here is something that I recently saw online and this is an image of a woman who was I think
03:26five days post thread lift who has a lot of dimpling and this is one of those horror stories or the things
03:33that people worry about looking unnatural. You also hear about these types of thread lifts and the
03:39threads breaking and then looking uneven. One side's more lifted, the other side isn't and it's just not
03:45a good look and for that reason I understand why people would be wary of this type of thread use
03:53and this is where a lot of surgeons say thread lifts are bad, they're terrible, I don't recommend them,
03:59even dermatologists because they're talking about this kind of thread lift. Now the smaller threads
04:06which is an example of this and this is the kind of threads that I do, they don't cause dimpling but
04:13they do cause, they do create support, collagen and lift in the skin. Now if you want a surgical
04:21thread lift like results, you're going to be disappointed in this type of procedure but if you're looking to
04:28prevent aging, prevent sagging, create support in the skin, use threads in place of fillers,
04:36this is an incredible option. Now I wouldn't have put more than a hundred threads in my skin
04:42as a 54 year old, almost 54, I'm 53 now, almost 54 year old master in medical esthetician. I would not
04:49have put more than a hundred threads in my skin if they weren't working. I never get guessed as my age and
04:57whenever I'm out and about people always think I'm much younger than I am. Now I'm not trying to toot my
05:02own horn but I think that the things that I'm doing are working and I wouldn't continue doing something
05:07that isn't giving me results. So these are the kinds of threads that I'm talking about that I think are
05:13fantastic for aging skin. Definitely look into them, talk to your provider about your options. If you want to learn
05:21more about advanced facial rejuvenation, you can find all of my free educational videos, demonstrations
05:28at rumble.com slash gorgeouslyaging. If you forget that website, you can always just go to
05:36gorgeouslyaging.com and there's links to it from there as well. So these are the kind of threads,
05:42they come in various sizes, they come in various thicknesses, but the smaller, not huge threads,
05:48threads. And I even like some of the cog threads, which do create a little more lift, but not the
05:55super deep, not the ones that cause dimpling, not the ones that can potentially in the future
06:00affect your ability to have a surgical facelift if you should decide to have one. So I think it's
06:08really important to remember that not all threads are the same. There's a lot of misinformation out
06:14there and a lot of surgical bias because obviously surgeons want you to have surgery. So not all
06:20threads are the same and the ones that they typically are talking about. And let's just go back to this
06:25image of Demi Moore. This, I can't say for sure, but my guess on the left in this photo, the indentations
06:34were created by threads. Now, again, I can't be a hundred percent sure, but obviously that first picture
06:40is an older picture since then Demi looks fantastic, has had some face work done. And that's the thing
06:47we want to avoid is that dimpling, puckering, unnatural look. And that's why I stick to some
06:53of those shorter PDO threads and they're just thinner. They, they meld into the skin so much more
07:00nicely. They don't create, create dimpling and they don't create that issue of a thread breaking
07:05because these are not threads that are pulled tight. They are threads that go into the skin,
07:10create a webbing, build natural collagen, create support in the skin. So I wanted to share those
07:18with you guys because I just think so many people are pushed away from threads thinking that it's kind
07:26of just that option that create could potentially create this crazy dimpling scenario. And that's not
07:32the only option out there. And I would definitely do your research. Don't trust what I have to say,
07:39you know, definitely get information from many different sources, but talk to people who maybe
07:44had really good results with some of those smaller threads because they are such a valuable tool.
07:50So the ones that I like to use are cog, are, I use, I have used some cog threads, but I like screw threads,
07:57triple threads, multi-filament threads, um, mono threads, which are really easy. They're just a very
08:03small, thin thread. And again, they're inserted more shallow into the skin. They dissolve gradually over
08:12time. They can be used as a substitute to filler and they create a beautiful mesh work supporting some
08:19of that underlying tissue like fat pads and just keep things lifted as we age. Now, sometimes people get
08:27to a point where the laxity in their skin reaches a point where these thinner threads aren't going to
08:33be effective, especially if really the results that you want is a surgical facelift. So if the results
08:41you want is a surgical facelift, I would say avoid these thinner, smaller threads or even the more
08:47robust lifting threads and invest in a surgical facelift. And I think this is where a lot of surgeons
08:53really talk negatively about threads is because people maybe have the wrong expectations. If you want
09:03surgical facelift results, then that really does require this surgical facelift. But if you're comfortable
09:10with a little bit of lift and a little bit of support, natural collagen and using threads to fill those areas of the
09:16face that need a little extra fullness from volume loss, they are a super valuable tool. So thank you so
09:25much for sharing a piece of your day with me. If you guys have any questions about my thread experience,
09:30I am such a big fan of threads. There's something that I do annually, maybe every other year. I think
09:36there was a year when my son passed away where I skipped threads, but I typically try to do threads every
09:42year, once a year. And it's not that that collagen, you know, once you build collagen, it stays there for
09:48quite a long time. But the surface area on your face is rather large and neck. And because the threads
09:55are so small and tiny, by repeating it annually or every other year, you're just reinforcing that meshing
10:02or webbing of support. Some people can go as long as three or four years. I just am such a fan of them
10:08that I find an annual treatment to be ideal for me. So thank you so much for joining me. If you have
10:13any questions about threads or my experience with threads, feel free to comment. And I will see you
10:19in my next video. Be good to yourselves and to others. I'll see you next time.
