Is ultrasonic scalpel better or thread carving better

With the development of science and technology, many medical beauty projects have begun to enter people's field of vision, and more and more women are willing to choose to improve their appearance through medical beauty projects. For example, common surgeries on the market such as double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty or iris implants are popular among many girls. As people age, they often face problems such as skin aging. Therefore, many people have begun to pay attention to the use of medical beauty to maintain the skin, and ultrasonic knife and thread lifting are two very common methods. So is ultrasonic scalpel better or thread carving better?

1. Comparison of the principles and operations of ultrasonic scalpel and thread embedding

The ultrasonic knife is actually not a knife. It emits high-intensity ultrasonic waves, which make the cells vibrate at a high frequency, and then generate heat energy inside and between cells. When the temperature reaches about 70 degrees, the cells are close to apoptosis. Ultrasonic scalpel causes old cells to die, forcing the body to produce new cells and synthesize new collagen. The lifting effect of the ultrasonic scalpel is caused by the heating and tightening of the "net"-like fascia. The working principle of ultrasonic knife is essentially a process of "destruction to reconstruction". The energy of ultrasound causes tiny trauma to the subcutaneous fascia layer, stimulating the tissue's self-repair mechanism, thereby producing cells with more water and collagen than before.

Thread lifting was introduced to the mainland in 2013. Thread lifting uses different thread materials to be implanted under the skin, so it is traumatic to the skin. The principle of thread sculpture to enhance facial lines is actually to implant absorbable protein threads as thin as a hair into the superficial layer of subcutaneous fascia through minimally invasive small needle holes. In theory, the implanted protein threads will tighten the loose skin tissue on the one hand, and continuously promote the regeneration of collagen and elastin on the other hand. In this way, the effect of lifting sagging skin is achieved. The thread lifting method tightens the loose skin tissue, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle tissue on the face at multiple levels to form a supporting force under the skin.

The applicable scope of thread sculpture: lines on both sides of the face, sagging cheeks, sagging corners of the eyes, and lifting of nasolabial folds.

Advantages and features of thread carving:

1. You can see the effect on the same day.

2. After about 2 weeks, the skin will continue to rearrange itself and produce collagen. From this time on, the skin will become elastic, and problems such as dullness and wrinkles will gradually improve, and the lifting effect will be more obvious.

3. The effective time is about 2-3 years.

Edema: Edema will occur on the day after surgery and will gradually subside from the next day. Depending on the individual's skin condition or blood circulation, the swelling may last for 1-2 days.

Pinholes: Although there will be pinholes at the location of the lifting treatment, they will disappear after 1-2 days for ordinary people.

2. The difference between the two

Ultrasonic knife focuses on firming: The principle of ultrasonic knife is to generate heat at the moment of arrival through the transfer of thermal energy. The thermal energy causes the collagen fibers in our skin to undergo a denaturation reaction and promotes its renewal. The fibers shrink and tighten when heated, thus achieving a skin-tightening effect.

Thread lifting focuses on anti-aging and lifting: From the perspective of the immediate lifting effect alone, thread lifting is a very significant medical beauty treatment method. In addition, in addition to the immediate physical lifting effect, thread lifting can also promote blood circulation during the metabolic process, stimulate the regeneration of collagen, and thus bring about biochemical changes in extracellular components. It is a complex medical beauty method.

3. Comparison of the instant effects of ultrasonic knife and thread carving

Some friends feel that the lifting of their facial lines is not strong right after the ultrasound knife treatment, because in the place where the ultrasound knife focuses, in addition to the tightening of collagen, some collagen will denature or even coagulate. This is the so-called "mild injury". The process of collagen regeneration after mild injury will last for a relatively long period of time. After 6 months, the collagen in the skin is basically stable. At that time, the effect of ultrasound knife lifting the face is the best. Therefore, many doctors say that the role of ultrasonic knife in lifting facial lines is fundamental, and the effect of skin tightening and lifting is basically unquestionable. As time goes by after the ultrasonic scalpel treatment, the lifting effect of the ultrasonic scalpel will gradually appear over time, and the improved effect will not be fully demonstrated until 3-6 months.

The lifting effect can be seen immediately after the thread lifting surgery, especially after treatment of half of the face, there is a certain lifting effect compared with the other side of the face.

4. Comparison of the Disadvantages and Risks of Ultrasonic Scalpel Thread Embedding

Ultrasonic scalpels are divided into imitation ultrasonic scalpels and genuine ultrasonic scalpels. If an imitation ultrasonic scalpel is used, the facial skin of the patient may temporarily become red, tingling, and numb. In addition, a very small number of people seeking beauty may experience allergic reactions. The quality of ultrasonic scalpels varies greatly and is in a gray area in China. It is not directly regulated by any organization, and the market is flooded with many imitation and copycat versions of ultrasonic scalpels. Therefore, in order to avoid the risks of using ultrasonic scalpel, you need to choose a genuine ultrasonic scalpel.

There are many types of thread lifting depending on the thread material. If you use serrated thread for thread lifting, there will be a noticeable feeling of tightness and pain when touching. Making exaggerated expressions will cause pulling pain, which will resolve on its own after a few days. In addition, if the thread lifting operator is inexperienced, unskilled in technique, and lacks a strong sense of responsibility, complications such as bruising and infection may occur when using thread lifting. Therefore, those who want to choose the thread embedding method for augmentation also need to carefully examine the ability and experience of the thread embedding operator and whether the operation site meets the standards.

5. You can only choose one between ultrasonic knife and thread carving

You should not do thread lifting within 6-12 months before ultrasonic knife treatment, otherwise there will be a risk of burns. This is because the ultrasonic knife converts sound waves into heat energy, heating the skin from the inside out to enhance facial lines. If you had a thread lift 6-12 months ago, the thread material in the skin has not been completely degraded by the body. Therefore, you cannot do thread lifting to enhance facial lines before ultrasonic scalpel treatment.

I often hear a saying: "You can tell whether a woman is living a good life by looking at her face." I didn't believe it before. Just because I'm not good-looking, does that mean my life must be bad? I think people exaggerate the role of the face.

Later I discovered that a woman's life is really written on her face. It has nothing to do with whether she is pretty or not. It is the state of her face and the way she treats her face that convey her living conditions and attitude towards life.
