Medical Background: Understanding Neck and Face Wrinkles

Over time, our skin loses its elasticity and natural vitality. There are various reasons that lead to the appearance of signs of aging, which often begin to show prominently on the neck and face, the areas most susceptible to external factors and gravity:

Causes and Contributing Factors

Loss of collagen and elastin: As we age, the production of collagen and elastin decreases, which are the main proteins responsible for the skin’s elasticity and strength. This reduction leads to sagging skin and the appearance of wrinkles.
Effects of gravity: Over the years, gravity continually affects the tissues of the face and neck, contributing to skin sagging and the appearance of distinct lines, especially around the jawline and chin.
Sun exposure (UV rays): Sunlight is a major cause of premature skin aging. UV rays damage collagen and elastin fibers, accelerating the appearance of wrinkles and weakening the skin.
Genetic factors: Genetics play a role in determining when and how signs of aging appear on your skin.
Lifestyle: Smoking, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, and ongoing stress are all factors that can accelerate the skin aging process.
Weight fluctuations: Frequent weight loss or gain can affect skin elasticity and contribute to sagging.

Symptoms and Signs of Aging that Can be Treated

Sagging skin around the jawline.
Appearance of “droopy cheeks” or “cheek indications.”
Formation of deep lines around the mouth and nose (smile lines).
Appearance of wrinkles and lines in the neck area, including “turkey neck.”
Loss of overall facial definition.
Appearance of horizontal and vertical lines in the neck.

Latest Research and Developments

Techniques for neck and face lifting with threads are continuously evolving, with current research focusing on the development of new types of threads with a high capacity for bio-stimulation of collagen production, in addition to improving insertion techniques to ensure optimal thread distribution and achieve the best possible results.

There is also a focus on designing fully absorbable threads that dissolve after achieving the lifting effect and stimulating collagen, thereby reducing the likelihood of any adverse reactions.

Who are the Ideal Candidates for Neck and Face Lifting with Threads?

Neck and face lifting with threads is an excellent option for many, but there are criteria to determine how suitable this procedure is:

Ideal Candidates

Individuals with mild to moderate skin sagging: This procedure is particularly effective for those who have begun to show signs of aging, and do not have severe sagging that requires traditional surgery.
People seeking natural results: The threads gently lift the tissues, resulting in a youthful and taut appearance without the “overly tight” look that may occur with some surgeries.
Patients wishing to avoid traditional surgery: This technique offers a non-surgical or semi-surgical alternative, meaning shorter recovery time and lower risks.
Individuals in their late thirties to fifties: This age group typically benefits the most from this technique, as their skin still has some elasticity.
Those with realistic expectations: Understanding the nature of the procedure and the expected results is essential.

Who May Not Be a Suitable Candidate

People with very severe skin sagging: In these cases, traditional surgery (like classic facelift) may be the best solution for achieving noticeable results.
Individuals with chronic health issues: Such as unstable autoimmune diseases, coagulation problems, or uncontrolled diabetes, as these conditions may increase the risk of complications.
Pregnant or nursing women: It is preferable to postpone the procedure until after the period of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
People with active skin infections in the treatment area.
Those with allergies to the materials used in the threads.

At Health & Beauty Turkey, our specialized doctors perform a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s condition, including skin examination, medical history, and discussing goals and expectations, to determine if neck and face lifting with threads is the most suitable treatment.

Preparation for the Procedure: Your Journey to Getting Ready in Turkey

Good preparation is the key to the success of any medical procedure, and to ensure the best experience for you at Health & Beauty Turkey, we follow precise preparatory steps:

Before Traveling to Turkey

Initial remote consultation: We start with an initial online consultation, where you can share clear photos of the face and neck area, and discuss your goals and expectations with our medical representative. The team will conduct a preliminary evaluation of your condition and provide information about the available procedures.
Comprehensive medical history: We will ask you to provide full details about your medical history, including any chronic diseases, medications you are taking (especially blood thinners), allergies, and any previous surgeries.
Medications and supplements: You may be asked to stop taking certain medications and supplements that increase blood fluidity (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil) for a few days or weeks before the procedure to avoid increased risk of bruising and bleeding. Guidance will be provided regarding these medications in detail.
Avoid smoking: It is strongly advised to stop smoking before and after the procedure for a period determined by the doctor, as smoking negatively impacts the healing process and the skin’s ability to recover.
Stay hydrated: Drink sufficient amounts of water to keep your skin and body hydrated.

Upon Arrival in Turkey (Health & Beauty Turkey)

Medical examination and direct consultation: Once you arrive, you will meet your specialist doctor in our clinic. The doctor will conduct a thorough examination of your skin, discuss different thread options, explain the details of the procedure, and answer all your inquiries. An individualized treatment plan will be mapped out based on the anatomy of your face and neck.
Medical tests: Some simple laboratory tests may be conducted to ensure you are healthy and ready for the procedure.
Photographic documentation: Photos of the face and neck will be taken before the procedure to be a reference for comparison after treatment.
Determining anesthesia options: Depending on the type of procedure and its level of complexity, local anesthesia with sedatives, or light intravenous anesthesia may be used. Your doctor will discuss the most appropriate option with you.

Step by Step: Neck and Face Lifting with Threads Procedure

The technique of neck and face lifting with threads is a precise procedure that requires expertise and skill. At Health & Beauty Turkey, we ensure to apply the latest protocols to guarantee comfort and efficacy:

Before the Procedure

Consultation and final diagnosis: As mentioned, the doctor will identify the insertion points and draw guidance lines on your skin, and accurately explain the course of the threads.
Anesthesia: The area is cleaned and well sterilized. If local anesthesia is used, a local anesthetic will be injected at the insertion points, ensuring you feel comfortable during the procedure.

During the Procedure

The techniques vary based on the type of threads used, but the general principle is:

Inserting the threads: Using specially fine needles, the doctor inserts the threads under the skin along carefully defined paths. These threads are often equipped with small barbs or hooks (for popular thread types) that help them adhere to the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
Lifting and tightening: Once the threads are inserted, the doctor gently pulls them, lifting the sagging tissues and redefining the features of the face and neck. The barbs grab the tissues and lift them, providing an immediate tightening effect.
Collagen stimulation: Over time, the threads begin to dissolve (most are absorbable), but this process of dissolution stimulates the body to produce collagen and elastin naturally in the area. This stimulation enhances skin regeneration and contributes to improving its quality and elasticity in the long term, giving you a more youthful appearance.

Types of Threads

Barb Threads: The most common for lifting sagging tissues.
Smooth Threads / Mono Threads: Primarily used to stimulate collagen and improve skin texture, usually applied in large quantities.
Screw Threads: Provide extra volume and support to a particular area, helping to enhance sculpting.
3D and 4D Threads: Feature advanced barbs that provide greater support and stronger lifting results.
PDO Threads: A popular type, fully absorbable, used either for lifting or stimulating collagen.

After the Procedure

Immediate instructions: Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on caring for the treated area, including how to sleep, and what to avoid.
Swelling and bruising: It is normal to notice some minor swelling and bruising in the treatment area. These effects usually fade within a few days.
Pain: You may experience some discomfort or mild pain that can be controlled with pain medications that your doctor prescribes.

Recovery Period and Results

Immediate recovery: You can usually resume most of your daily activities within a day or two after the procedure.
Restrictions: You may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, deep facial massages, direct exposure to strong sunlight, and extreme heat (such as saunas) for a few weeks.
When will you see results? You will see immediate improvement in skin tightening right after the procedure. However, final results improve over time as collagen begins to form, leading to further enhancement in skin elasticity and texture over several weeks to months.
Follow-ups: Your doctor will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure you are recovering well and satisfied with the results.
