Objectives: In recent years, thread lifting methods have been increasingly employed in the practice of specialists in dermatology and aesthetic surgery. Currently, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of different threads and methods available for facial and body rejuvenation. Often, companies do not provide adequate training for doctors who purchase these products, neglecting to consider potential consequences.

Introduction: The advice offered by the authors is based on the application of thread lifting methods by a group of doctors with over 30 years of experience. The results of different methods applied to more than 300 patients were researched to evaluate the effectiveness of these techniques. Over the years, the technique of subcutaneous thread placement has been refined for safer and more effective application.

Materials / method: As a result of long-standing work, the authors have succeeded in compiling all the nuances and details of thread application for facial and body rejuvenation. They have managed to differentiate and structure the thread lifting process and offer colleagues practical advice and techniques to achieve the best results with the majority of threads available on the market.

Results: The aim of the presented work is to enhance the safety level of thread lifting applications, ease the workload for doctors, and improve the quality of the results obtained. The extensive experience beginning with non-absorbable threads and transitioning to absorbable materials has enabled mastery in methods of face and body correction using threads, proper patient selection, and treatment protocol customization.

Conclusion: The authors are adept at combining other procedures and methods with thread lifting techniques. This presentation will reveal all the tips and tricks for obtaining the best results in thread lifting methods.

Objectives: I would like to bring my twenty-year experience in the use of traction threads in the culture for the correction of ptosis and moderate asymmetries of the face

Introduction: In Aesthetics, minimally invasive treatments are constantly increasing, as demonstrated by AICPE statisticians.
Minimally invasive practices are located in the middle between Cosmetic Surgery, a practice that commits the patient to a long and annoying recovery, and Aesthetic Medicine, a branch of medicine that completes aesthetic practices with less effort.
These new treatments do not replace traditional surgery, but complement each other by offering, in most cases, new, less cruel alternatives, especially acting in the preventive phase.

Materials / method: let's consider the Support Threads, used in surgery for many years, then perfected and simplified in the last 18 years to make them less bloody and absolutely painless.
The threads act as tensors and are implanted in the subcutaneous tissue, repositioning the tissues and lifting the treated areas.
The treatment of the threads must be completed by a reintegration of the volumes with traditional fillers and above all by a correct treatment of the skin surface with peeling, IPL and non-ablative radiofrequency.

Results: Results: since 2006 we have treated 400 patients with this combined method, having a booster effect to filler treatment alone.

Conclusion: Conclusion: We can conclude the main characteristics of these treatments:
1. All procedures are outpatient
2. Long-lasting but reversible results
3. Scarcity of side effects
4. Treatment of all components of the "aging face"
5. Lower final cost to the patient compared to surgery
6. The goal is a natural outcome
7. The improvement is gradual
8. The social impact for the patient is almost zero
