Few women celebrate their 35th birthday with joy. Time takes its toll and appearance, corresponding to biological age, ceases to correspond to the state of the soul. Then aesthetic medicine comes to the rescue, in which many effective techniques have been invented. One of these anti-age-methods appeared in South Korea, but in our latitudes it has gained popularity due to its effectiveness. This technique is called thread lifting or reinforcement of facial and body tissues with mesothreads.
In this article we will talk about Lead Fine Lift mesothreads, which actually “sew together” the face, while remaining invisible and imperceptible. Over time, the threads dissolve, but a strong frame remains. This means that the 40th name day will be greeted in a solemn mood.

The operating principle of lifting with LFL threads
Threadlifting (thread lifting) consists of creating a frame of strong threads in the tissues, which are inserted using a special needle or cannula, instantly tightening the skin and fixing it in this position for a long time. The GMTClinic center uses various types of threads for thread lifting, including modern 3D Lead Fine Lift mesothreads. Lead Fine Lift mesothreads are premium threads.
Indications for contour plastic surgery
- gravitational ptosis (sagging) of the tissues of the face, neck, décolleté;
- deep, medium and fine wrinkles in various areas;
- drooping eyebrows, wrinkles at the temples;
- drooping cheeks, jowls, nasolabial folds, marionette wrinkles;
- drooping corners of the mouth;
- sagging and wrinkles in the submandibular area;
- depressed scars, scars, other defects in the relief and structure of the skin;
- prevention of aging (reinforcement is performed to prevent ptosis).
In which areas is a mesothread lift performed?
Most often, thread lifting is used to model the face, neck and décolleté, that is, areas with the most tender and delicate skin, susceptible to early aging.
Using mesothreads, you can remove wrinkles on the forehead and folds between the eyebrows, reduce the severity of nasolabial furrows and smooth out crow's feet around the eyes.
In addition to the face, the reinforcement procedure can be used to tighten the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, breasts, inner arms and folds on the sides - that is, any area of the body where it is necessary to restore shape.
BENEFITS OF LEAD FINE LIFT:
- LFL threads are made of biologically inert sterile material - polydioxanone, which completely dissolves over a period of 180 to 240 days, stimulating the process of intensive neocollagenesis around itself. Collagen formation occurs gently, without fibrous thickening of the skin, the tightening effect lasts about a year.
- Thanks to the special profile of the threads (smooth, spiral, notched), in all cases a pronounced tightening and reliable fixation of the tissues is ensured.
- Patented Diamond Sharp needle grinding and sharpening technology makes the procedure as precise, comfortable and almost painless as possible. It is also possible to work with a cannula.
- These threads are used by doctors in more than 20 countries around the world.
- Lead Fine Lift mesothreads are the first threads registered in Russia for thread lifting of facial and body tissues (registration certificate No. ФСЗ 2012/13378 dated December 14, 2012).
Types of mesothreads
Lead Fine Lift products are optimized for three-dimensional lifting techniques and include mesothreads for fiber reinforcement in different areas of the face and body. They are indicated for use at the age of 35-40 years.
Spiral
These mesothreads are designed to restore facial contours. With them you can tighten sagging cheeks and chin. Recommended for patients over 40 years of age.
Linear
Straight, smooth, monofilament mesothreads used to eliminate folds and wrinkles. Used to work with thin sensitive skin.
Needle-shaped
An improved type of linear mesothreads. They are installed in the same way as linear ones, but unlike them they have microscopic notches. By catching on the fabric, they hold the thread where it should be. Most often they are used for anti-aging correction of moving parts of the face - the area of the nasolacrimal duct, perioral and periorbital areas. Lead Fine Lift needle mesothreads are significantly more expensive, but require less to install.
HOW IS THE THREAD LIFT PROCEDURE?
- Before the procedure, the doctor cleans and disinfects the skin and applies “markings” to the patient’s face, which determine the places and directions of placement of the threads. There is no need for injection anesthesia, thanks to the finest diamond sharpening of the needle or cannula, experience and the “light hands” of our doctors. LFL threads are inserted according to pre-planned markings, only one puncture is performed for each thread, and no traces of punctures subsequently remain.
- The procedure itself lasts only about 30 minutes, and the result is visible immediately.
Basic information about the procedure
Mesothreads are synthesized from polydioxanone, a hypoallergenic suture material capable of self-resorption. This material has long been successfully used in cardiology and surgery.
The cosmetologist selects places to introduce threads. The procedure itself is performed under the anesthetic effect of a special anesthetic gel or cream, which reduces discomfort. The correction is carried out under sterile conditions.
For the procedure, thin and flexible needles made of high quality steel are used. A special thread is pulled into the needle. After installation, it acquires the properties of a spring.
The threads create a special skeleton that does not cause discomfort or deformation of the tissue. Under the influence of enzymes, such a framework gradually dissolves. This takes about six months. At the injection site, a compaction forms, pulling the skin tissue upward. Thanks to this, the fabrics acquire clearer outlines. The duration of the procedure is 40 minutes – 1 hour.
The cosmetic effect lasts 1.5 – 2 years. An average of 30-50 threads are required for the face, of which 10-15 for the chin area, 25 for the forehead area.
PREPARATION FOR THE PROCEDURE, REHABILITATION, CONTRAINDICATIONS
- LFL mesothreads are composed of polydioxanone, a durable and sterile surgical material that is used for postoperative suturing of fibers. It was not chosen by chance for the production of threads, because... It is environmentally friendly and particularly smooth. Since polydioxanone is absolutely biologically inert and does not cause allergies, there are few contraindications to the Lead Fine Lift procedure, and they boil down to the usual contraindications for any invasive procedure: inflammatory processes in the acute stage, blood clotting disorders, a tendency to form keloid scars, pregnancy, lactation, oncological diseases.
The procedure does not require special preparation - the day before it you should stop drinking alcohol, taking blood-thinning medications, and taking excessive fluids.After the procedure, you should avoid physical activity, visiting the dentist, sauna, swimming pool and intense sun exposure for two weeks. There is no rehabilitation period as such; small bruises may appear at the puncture sites, which disappear without a trace within a few days.
Complications and contraindications
Even though Lead Fine Lift threads are carefully polished, thin and almost atraumatic, if installed poorly they can ruin everything. When the thread is pulled together, the skin may turn into a faint “corrugation”. In places where the thread is installed, compactions often form and are noticeable if the thread is located closer to the surface of the skin than necessary. Due to the wrong direction of thread insertion, blood microcirculation may be disrupted. It happens that the rejuvenation procedure is selected inappropriately for the patient’s age.
Contraindications include:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- any infectious diseases;
- oncological diseases;
- bleeding disorders;
- heart diseases;
- rash or growths at the sites of suspected punctures.
The patient is in no danger if he goes to a reliable aesthetic medicine clinic and sees a good specialist. All risks and complications are eliminated in this case.
LIFTING RESULTS:
Depending on the type of LFL thread (smooth, spiral, needle, serif), it is possible to achieve different goals. Doctors at GMTClinic skillfully combine threads to ensure an ideal result:
- immediately after the procedure , the effect of tissue tightening is visible, the face becomes noticeably younger;
- wrinkles and folds are smoothed out, a clear, youthful oval of the face is formed;
- over time, the skin is further smoothed and tightened due to the formation of its own collagen around the threads;
- the result of the tightening is maintained even after complete resorption of the threads - up to 1–1.5 years;
- thread lifting lays the foundation for maintaining skin in good condition for many years to come.
What it is?
4D mesothreads are the thinnest threads made of durable hypoallergenic surgical material polydiaxanone, with the help of which a “framework” is created under the skin, tightening and supporting soft tissues.
Along the entire length of the thread there are notches located on four sides, due to which the lifting effect is manifested in four planes. After implantation, a collagen sheath is formed around the thread, which, after resorption of the suture material, remains for a long time; the threads serve as natural support for the tissues and prevent their subsidence .

WHAT TO COMBINE THE PROCEDURE WITH?
- Thread reinforcement with Lead Fine Lift threads is performed both as an independent procedure and as the final stage in intensive rejuvenation courses. After completing a hardware course of procedures, threadlifting helps improve and consolidate the results achieved. Thread reinforcement is ideally combined with peelings, botulinum therapy, biorevitalization; these procedures can be carried out within 2-3 weeks.
Advantages of using 3D mesothreads
- Threadlifting with mesothreads allows you to improve the contours of soft tissues and postpone the use of plastic surgery methods until a later date.
- Lack of rehabilitation period. When reinforced with mesothreads, there are no incisions on the skin, and pinpoint punctures heal quickly. The technique of introducing mesothreads into tissue makes it possible to avoid the use of anesthesia, thereby reducing the risks of massive hematomas and allergic reactions.
- The visible result occurs immediately after the procedure, increasing over 2 months, the effect lasts for 2 years. Threadlifting improves the overall condition of the skin by stimulating blood circulation at the site of mesothread insertion.
- Mesothreads create an elastic frame in the reinforcement zone, uniform in thickness, without disrupting tissue microcirculation. There is no risk of contouring.
- Mesothreads are successfully combined with other methods of aesthetic medicine - facial mesotherapy, contouring, plasma lifting, Botox, chemical peeling.
- Mesothreads for thread lifting are 100% biocompatible with tissues and do not cause allergic reactions or rejection.

Progress of the procedure
Threadlifting is very labor-intensive even when performed by an experienced doctor who has worked with different types of threads for a long time. The work requires skill, precision and qualifications. Therefore, you can and should demand that you be presented with documents, licenses and certificates confirming the doctor’s professionalism.
Thread lifting procedure using Lead Fine Lift mesothreads
The session begins with the application of anesthetic cream. Then the doctor attaches the mesothread to a special needle using a connector and inserts it under the skin. The thread is installed perpendicular to the fabric fibers. On the return stroke, the thread detaches from the connector and remains in the skin. The needle remains in the skin for several minutes. This is necessary for high-quality installation of the thread. If you remove the needle immediately, the thread may stretch a little, gathering the skin into an accordion.
After removing the needles and disinfecting the puncture points, the patient is free. There is no need for a rehabilitation period after thread lifting. There are also no prohibitions on any actions or other cosmetic procedures.
