The threads used vary in material, thickness, and the presence or absence, shape, and direction of the cogs (spines). In addition to the \"thread lift,\" which uses long threads with spines, and the \"shopping lift,\" which uses short, ultra-fine threads without spines, there is also a procedure called the \"gold thread,\" in which threads made of pure gold are inserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when we generally refer to a \"thread lift,\" we are mainly referring to a treatment called a \"thread lift. Therefore, in this article, thread lift will be referred to as thread lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopping Lift Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopping lift is a skin beautification treatment in which ultra-fine threads are inserted into the dermal layer deep within the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The insertion stimulus of the thread activates its own skin cells, creates a net with the thread in the skin, and promotes collagen production even in the process of the thread dissolving, which can be expected to have a tightening effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is called a \"shopping lift\" because it can be performed as casually as going shopping. It is also called a \"short thread\" because it uses short threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on shopping lifts, please see the following articles<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-postLink\">\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard -external -noimg\" data-type=\"type3\" data-onclick=\"clickLink\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"p-blogCard__caption\">[Official] Smart Skin Clinic&#8230;<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard__body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"p-blogCard__title\" href=\"https:\/\/smartskin-clinic.com\/en\/menu\/shoppinglift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What Are Shopping Lifts (Threads)? | A Doctor Explains the Effects, Number of Threads, and Downtime | [Official] Smart Skin\u2026<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"p-blogCard__excerpt\">Book online or schedule a free consultation here. &#8220;I&#8217;m concerned about sagging under my eyes and cheeks, and my nasolabial folds&#8221; &#8220;I want firmer, more resilient skin&#8221; &#8220;I want a non-surgical lift.&#8221; If you have concerns like these&#8230;<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overview of Thread Lift<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A thread lift (thread lift) is a treatment that physically raises sagging skin by inserting threads with cogs (spines) into the facial line and around the wrinkles in the center of the face, mainly in front of the temples and ears, and then pulling and securing the threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By shifting drooping fat and creating an ideal contour, the entire cheek is lifted, resulting in the reduction of age-related facial wrinkles such as laugh lines, marionette lines, and bulldog lines, as well as the improvement of facial contours, sagging, and lifting effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Differences between shopping lift and thread lift (list)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The differences between a shopping lift and a thread lift are listed first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Shopping Lift<\/td><td>Thread Lift<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Effect<\/td><td>Tightens and improves elasticity<br>- Improvement of skin quality<br>Improvement of sagging &nbsp;<\/td><td>Lift-up <br>Wrinkle improvement <br>Improvement of sagging<br>Increased elasticity<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Duration<\/td><td>1 to 1.5 years with a peak of 3 to 4 months after surgery<\/td><td>Peaks immediately after and lasts from 6 months to several years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Treatment Method<\/td><td>Insertion of a short, ultrafine, spine-free thread into a shallow layer of skin<\/td><td>A thread with spines is inserted under the skin and fixed by the spines while being pulled<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Treatment Time<\/td><td>30 minutes to 1 hour<\/td><td>30 minutes to 1 hour<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thread material<\/td><td>PDO (absorbent)<\/td><td>PDO, PLA, PLLA, PCL (absorbent),<br>Polyester, silicone (non-absorbent)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Number of bottles (approximate)<\/td><td>10 per site\uff5e <br>Example) Both cheeks: about 40 pieces, 2 x 2 cm: about 10 pieces, 5 x 5 cm: about 20 pieces<\/td><td>About 4 to 20 on each side <br>Example: 6 to 8 on both cheeks if you are in your 30s, 10 to 12 if you are in your 50s.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Adaptation site<\/td><td>Whole face including eyes, mouth and face line<\/td><td>Mainly face line<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Downtime<\/td><td>Swelling: several days <br>Pain: several days <br>Internal bleeding: about 2 weeks <br>Makeup: possible from the next day<\/td><td>Swelling: several days to 1 week <br>Pain and discomfort: 1-2 weeks <br>Internal bleeding: about 2 weeks <br>Makeup: possible from the next day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scars<\/td><td>Hardly noticeable<\/td><td>become gradually thinner<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Interval between sessions<\/td><td>About once or twice a year<\/td><td>About once every six months<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pricing<\/td><td>Cheaper than a thread lift<\/td><td>Higher than shopping lift<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following are some key points regarding these differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference in Lifting Effects between Shopping Lift and Thread Lift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the word \"lift\" in their names, one might associate both shopping lifts and thread lifts with a lifting effect. However, there are some differences as follows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border -border01\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shopping Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check_list\">\n<li>Natural lifting effect by tightening<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thread lift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check_list\">\n<li>Physical lifting effect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are aiming for a lifting effect, a thread lift is recommended. However, it should be noted that the lifting effect is relatively easy to reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main effect of the Shopping Lift is \"tightening\". Tightening leads to improvement of fine wrinkles and \"natural lifting\" of mild sagging. Although there is no physical lifting action, the tightening effect continues for a while after the threads are absorbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference in duration of effect between shopping lift and thread lift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither a shopping lift nor a thread lift has a permanent duration of effect. Changes with aging are inevitable, and new sagging and wrinkles will develop even after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border -border01\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shopping Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check_list\">\n<li>Peak: about 3 months after surgery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration: Approximately 1 to 1.5 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration of effect depending on the number of threads remains the same.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thread lift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check_list\">\n<li>Peak: Immediately after surgery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration: Approximately 6 months to several years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The more bottles you have, the easier it is to maintain strength.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In both cases, regardless of the type or shape of the thread, the effect is gradually lost after the peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lifting effect of a thread lift is lost in a relatively short period of time, and thereafter, a feeling of firmness due to the stimulation of the threads remains, as with a shopping lift. However, because the number of threads is small, the firmness of the lift is not as great as that of a shopping lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In both cases, the realization of effectiveness varies from person to person. In addition, the key to maintaining effectiveness is to follow the recommended \"maintenance interval\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:79px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference between shopping lift and thread lift in the indicated area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopping lift and thread lift are applied to different parts of the body due to the difference in the purpose of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border -border01\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shopping Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check_list\">\n<li>Whole face including eye and mouth area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thread lift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check_list\">\n<li>Face lines, laugh lines, marionette lines, and other central facial areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the purpose of the Shopping Lift is to tighten and improve skin texture, it is applicable to the \"entire face including the eye and mouth area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, the thread lift aims to improve sagging and wrinkles in the \"central part of the face,\" so the \"face line, laugh lines, and marionette lines\" are the indicated areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference in the number of insertions between a shopping lift and a thread lift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of threads used in a shopping thread lift and a thread lift are very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border -border01\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example: In the case of laugh lines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check_list\">\n<li>Shopping lift: 40 pcs~.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thread lift: 6-12 threads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shopping lift, which is cheaper per unit but requires a larger number of units, and the thread lift, which is more expensive per unit but requires fewer units. However, it is nonsense to compare the two in terms of price, because the indications for each are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By selecting the appropriate treatment depending on the symptoms and desired result, it will be easier to realize the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The threads used in a thread lift are intended to lift sagging skin, so there are restrictions on the direction and location of insertion, and there is a risk of discomfort and unnatural results if too many threads are used. There is no risk of unnatural results with too many threads in a shopping lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on the number of shopping lifts, see also the following article.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-postLink\">\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard -external -noimg\" data-type=\"type3\" data-onclick=\"clickLink\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"p-blogCard__caption\">[Official] Smart Skin Clinic&#8230;<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"p-blogCard__body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"p-blogCard__title\" href=\"https:\/\/smartskin-clinic.com\/en\/20reads-effect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Are 20 Shopping Lifts Ineffective?

Because superficial anesthesia does not work subcutaneously, it is necessary to inject a drug into the needle's entry point and the hole where the needle is inserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anesthesia is to be used according to pain.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to surface and local anesthesia, some clinics choose \"laughing anesthesia\" to alleviate anxiety and \"intravenous anesthesia\" to put the patient half asleep to further alleviate pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, anesthesia is not recommended by Smart Skin Clinic because of the considerable physical and financial burden it entails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference between threads used for shopping lift and thread lift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to shopping lifts, thread lifts offer a wider variety of materials and shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border -border01\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shopping Lift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check_list\">\n<li>PDO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short, ultrafine threads without spines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thread lift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check_list\">\n<li>PDO, PLA, PCL, PLLA, polyester, silicone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long threads with spines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direction and position of spines vary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thread material used for the Shopping Lift is a medical material called PDO (polydioxanone), which is also used in surgery and has the property of dissolving and being absorbed within the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the threads dissolve, they become less strong, but the tightening effect continues for some time after absorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to PDO, absorbable threads such as PCL, PLA, and PLLA, which are stiffer and take longer to dissolve, as well as non-absorbable threads made of bio-materials such as polyester and silicone are used for thread lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the following paper describes a study comparing six threads of different shapes used in thread lifts over a 12-week period, all of which showed a collagen-increasing effect, although the strength varied depending on the shape of the spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Japanese translation) Six commercial yarn products were collected and evaluated. General structure, microstructure, elastic modulus, and strength were evaluated using microscopy and in vitro tensile testing 72 female rats were divided into 6 groups. Tissue samples were collected and histologically evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson trichrome staining at weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were differences between the products in terms of barb shape, microstructure, elasticity and strength, which were attributed to the material and barb structure. All yarns showed good biosecurity and increased density of collagen areas in the dermis compared to the control group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This study provided an objective evaluation of barbed products and showed that all products can be used safely with some efficacy in different indications.<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jocd.15691\">Lideng Cao, He Qiu, Donglei Yu, Liu Shuo, Hang Wang.
