Tiếng ViệtThe eyes are the “windows to the soul,” but they are also the first to show signs of aging, from wrinkles and sagging eyelids to tired-looking bags under the eyes. Therefore, the thread lift procedure is being widely discussed among women as a “secret to youthful skin without surgery.” However, alongside the praise for its “miraculous” effects, many people wonder: Is thread lifting painful? Are the results really as effective as rumored? Let’s find the answers with HBio Clinic in the following article!
Is thread lifting painful?
In reality, thread lifting only causes a slight tingling sensation, not intense pain as many people worry. Before the procedure, the doctor will administer local anesthesia to the eye area, so throughout the process, you will feel almost no pain, only a slight pulling or tingling sensation when the threads are threaded under the skin.
After the procedure, the eye area may be slightly swollen or feel tight for the first 1–3 days, depending on individual sensitivity. This is a completely normal reaction of the body as threads are inserted into the subcutaneous tissue to stimulate collagen production. These signs will quickly subside with cold compresses, adequate rest, and adherence to the doctor’s aftercare instructions.
The most important factors determining whether or not you experience pain are:
- The doctor’s skill: An experienced doctor will perform the procedure accurately, minimizing tissue damage.
- The type of thread used: Collagen threads, PDO threads, or high-quality gold threads help reduce friction and irritation.
- Supporting technology: Modern thread lifting equipment makes the process gentler and safer.
Therefore, thread lifting around the eyes is virtually painless, with only a slight feeling of tightness for the first few days, which is completely tolerable. With a standardized medical procedure and advanced technology, this is a safe eye rejuvenation solution with quick recovery and no need for a long downtime.
What are the benefits of thread lifting for the eye area?
Thread lift is a non-surgical rejuvenation method that comprehensively improves aging issues around the eyes such as sagging, wrinkles, drooping eyelids, and eye bags. When the doctor inserts thin, biodegradable threads into the subcutaneous tissue, they create a natural lifting force, while simultaneously stimulating the body to produce collagen and elastin – two crucial components for firm, smooth, and elastic skin.
As a result, after a thread lift, you will notice:
- Significant lifting of the skin around the eyes; Eyelids become more defined, eye bags are reduced, giving a fresher and younger look; Reduced wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes; Fine wrinkles are significantly improved after just one treatment, and the skin is smoother; Stimulated natural collagen production; Skin is not only instantly tightened but also gradually rejuvenated over time; Long-lasting results from 2-5 years. Depending on the type of thread and individual characteristics, the results can last for many years without surgical intervention.
- No long recovery period needed. After thread lifting, you can resume normal activities; just gentle aftercare for the first few days is required.
Overall, eye thread lifting results in brighter, healthier, and younger-looking eyes, brightening the face and significantly reducing signs of fatigue or aging. This is why this method is popular, especially among those who want natural rejuvenation without surgery.
How much does thread lifting around the eyes cost?
The cost of thread lifting around the eyes in Vietnam varies considerably, depending on several factors such as the location, the type of thread used, skin condition, and the surgeon’s skill. Below is a summary of reference prices and influencing factors to give you a clearer picture:
