Which is better, ultrasonic knife or thread carving?

There is a saying in the business world that women's money is the easiest to make. Love of beauty is women's nature. In addition to loving shopping, women are also very keen on taking care of themselves. Many newly launched skin care products are sought after by female friends because of their advertised efficacy. In recent years, some medical beauty institutions that can perform ultrasonic scalpel and thread lifting have appeared on the market. So which one is better, ultrasonic scalpel or thread lifting? Let's find out together.

Thread lifting and ultrasonic scalpel each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

To know which one is better, you need to understand which method is more suitable for the patient. It is recommended that you make a choice based on your own situation and expected results. You should also understand the difference between thread lifting and ultrasonic knife.

2. The difference between the principle and function

Thread carving: Thread carving mainly involves burying absorbable protein threads into the skin fascia layer. The absorbable protein threads are used to tighten the loose skin tissue and muscle tissue on the face at multiple levels, forming support points under the skin and stimulating collagen production, thereby improving local wrinkles and tightening the skin.

Ultrasonic scalpel: As people age, their skin loses a lot of collagen. Ultrasonic scalpel can cause aging cells to die, prompting the body to produce new cells and synthesize new collagen, thereby improving severely sagging skin. The layer used is deeper than thread lifting.

Thread lifting: The effect of thread lifting lasts shorter than that of ultrasonic scalpel, because the wire used will be degraded in the body, so the effect lasts very short, and generally needs to be redone every 6 to 12 months. The advantage of thread lifting is that it works quickly, so the lifting effect can be seen quickly.

Ultrasonic knife: The effect of ultrasonic knife generally lasts up to 8 years, but if you do not pay attention to moisturizing and sun protection after the operation, the effect duration will be reduced. The effect of ultrasonic knife will not be seen immediately. It usually takes 3 to 6 months for the effect to be fully manifested.

Thread lifting: There are many kinds of thread materials for thread lifting, so there are also several degrees of risk. If serrated thread is used as the material, there will be an obvious sense of tightness on the face, and it will be painful to touch. When making exaggerated expressions, there will be pulling pain, which will not be relieved until several days later. Furthermore, due to the doctor's lack of experience and improper technique, there may be risks such as facial bruising, infection, and thread exposure after the operation.

Ultrasonic knife: There are two types of ultrasonic knives: imitation ultrasonic knives and genuine ultrasonic knives. If you choose the imitation ultrasonic knives, it may cause temporary redness, tingling, numbness and swelling on the face and other discomforts. In addition, a small number of people will experience allergic reactions.
