Velvet Dual Lift threads feature a unique double needle to help achieve a natural and immediate lifting effect in the desired area.  The threads are made of a clear, absorbable material of polyglycolic acid, which dissolve and help stimulate your skin’s own collagen production.  These threads are injected through a single puncture, which significantly reduces the damage of the tissues to elevate the sagging tissue and lift problem areas.  

Key characteristics of Velvet Dual Lift Threads:

·         Long-lasting lifting effect thanks to relocation of tissues in combination with a firm fixation point

·         Armoring of tissues – skin induration and the removal of sagginess at the injection point

·         Strengthening the ligaments thus preventing gravitational ptosis – formation of an extra SMAS level*

·         Ability to dissolve within one year – they are replaced with connective tissue fibers which extends the lifting effect up to 2 years

·         Convergent incisions on the thread ensure reliable lifting and perfect fixation of the facial tissues with a noticeable effect

·         Extended shelf life up to 3 years thanks to a new vacuum packaging system.

·         Most effective for patients over 35 years of age.

*SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) is a two-layer structure consisting of a superficial 

fascia consisting of collagen and elastin fibers, as well as a layer of mimic muscles. These 

layers create a carcass supporting the skin. One the one side this structure is connected with 

a higher located soft tissues (skin and subcutaneous fat), and on the other side – by means of 

connective tissues and bands with the facial bones. 



Which areas can be treated?

 Velvet Dual Lift Threads can be used anywhere on the face and neck to achieve a lifting, tightening and volumizing effect.

   Facial Contour - Formation of well-defined facial contour, getting rid of jowls and double

   chin

   Lower Face and Jawline - Elimination of wrinkles around lips, removal of jowls and

   formation of well-defined facial contour

   Mid-face and Cheeks - Smoothing nasolabial folds, elimination of furrows of the mid-cheek

   area, formation of prominent cheekbones

   Neck - Tighten the skin and reduce the visible lines and bands

Which conditions make a patient not suitable for the procedure?

·         Severe allergies and hypersensitivity to threads

·         Various acute infectious disease

·         Inflammation of the skin

·         Cancers

·         Tendency to keloids

·         Bleeding tendency and some diseases of the blood (blood clotting)

·         Immune system disorders

·         Pregnancy and breast feeding

About the Procedure

The areas to be treated will be first numbed with a local anesthetic and then marked.  The double needles are injected into identified points, then separated and moved further to the necessary layer.  This helps to avoid damage of large vessels and nerves. 

When the threads are injected they are strongly fixated within the skin tissues ensuring a lifting effect.  The threads are not visible and not felt under the skin.  The procedure together with the anesthesia will take approximately 40 minutes to an hour.  One pack of threads is required to lift one area.

The rehabilitation process is short and complications are not common.  A full recovery takes 10-14 days.
