However, complications of facial threading, including irritant dermatitis, folliculitis, koebnerization, verrucae, and impetigo, have also been reported. Although facial threading carries some potential risk, many women are still interested in this natural, traditional beauty technique.
Thread lifts are low risk, thanks to how noninvasive they are. There is virtually no risk of scarring, severe bruising, bleeding or other complications after having a thread lift. In rare cases, patients may experience irritation, infection or their sutures becoming visible under their skin.
Threading is also hygienic because nothing but clean strands of the cotton come in contact with the face. Those with sensitive or aging skin find threading is less likely than waxing to cause wrinkles or skin pulling.
Complications: Although thread lift is considered minimally invasive, some sutures and cuts are required. There is still a risk of complications such as bruising, thread breakage, thread extrusion, fever, and infection.
But, the average person should get their eyebrows threaded every 2-3 weeks. Since the process removes hairs from their roots, the time for the hairs to grow back will be dependent on many factors, but we recommend coming in for eyebrow threading treatment every 2-3 weeks.
Results from a thread lift aren't meant to be permanent. Successful effects typically last from 1 to 3 years. Like other dissolvable dermal fillers, such as Botox, the threads used in the procedure will eventually be absorbed by the tissue underneath your skin. After a thread lift, you can resume your normal routine.
The threads also stimulate fibroblasts to produce more natural collagen, which creates a “volumizing” and rejuvenating effect. Facial wrinkles will be erased and sagging skin will be lifted, resulting in more youthful-looking skin and more defined facial features.

When the sutures begin to dissolve, it is likely you will notice the gradual return of sagging features. However, there is evidence to support that collagen is produced in the tissues surrounding the threads, which can lead to a longer lasting effect.
No, your hair will never grow thicker or darker after threading. Since threading removes the hair from the root, your hair will become finer over time.
You can expect a complete recovery from your thread lift in no more than two weeks. It's important to get advice from your doctor on what activities to avoid as the tissue heals; for example, we recommend you avoid vigorous exercise and facial massage.
Wait for a time period of at least two hours after threading face for taking a hot bath or shower. The threaded area can be gently washed with the help of anti-bacterial soap. If the threaded area turns red, then apply some rose water or mild cream on it to return the skin to its normal colour.

Since a thread lift is less invasive than a facelift, a greatly reduced recovery time means results show much sooner compared to a facelift. Still, a thread lift is a form of minor surgery so it may have side effects. Some potential side effects include: Tenderness or pain after the procedure.
On average, patients require between 2 – 4 threads on each side of the face for a mid-face thread lift. An additional 2 – 4 threads may be needed for the lower face and/or neck.
The absorbable threads make skin lifted immediately through mechanical effects. And these threads stimulate neocollagenesis process of tissues, which results in the production of new collagen.

Like all medical procedures there is a possibility of complications. However, with the right practitioner, pre-care and post-care, the risks of any complications arising during thread lift recovery is greatly reduced.
Overall, most patients see the results of their thread lift lasting for around 12-15 months in total.
