The number of threads needed for a lower face treatment varies depending on individual needs and desired outcomes.
Factors Influencing Thread Count:
- Severity of Skin Laxity: More threads are typically required for individuals with significant sagging and wrinkles.
- Area Targeted: A larger treatment area, like the entire lower face, will require more threads compared to a smaller area, such as just the jawline.
- Thread Type: Different thread types have varying lifting capacities and require different thread counts for optimal results.
- Individual Anatomy: Facial structure and skin thickness can influence the number of threads needed.
General Guidelines:
- Minimal Laxity: 10-20 threads might be sufficient.
- Moderate Laxity: 20-30 threads are often used.
- Significant Laxity: 30-40 or more threads may be necessary.
Note: These are just general guidelines. A qualified medical professional should determine the appropriate number of threads based on a thorough assessment.
