Clinical evaluation of the efficacy and safety of double needle thread lift for facial rejuvenation

Abstract

Background: The double needle thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to enhance facial contours and promote skin tightening. Despite its increasing popularity, comprehensive clinical data evaluating its efficacy and safety are limited.

Objective:  To assess the clinical outcomes and safety profile of the double needle thread lift in patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

Methods: This study involved 50 participants aged 30-50 years with mild to moderate skin laxity. Each participant underwent a double needle thread lift procedure. Outcomes were evaluated at baseline, and at 1, 3, and 6 months post-procedure. Primary endpoints included patient satisfaction, physician-assessed improvement using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), and objective skin tightening measured via digital imaging. Secondary endpoints included adverse events and pain assessment using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Results: At 6 months post-procedure, 85% of participants reported high satisfaction with the aesthetic outcomes. GAIS scores indicated significant improvement in facial contours and skin tightness in 78% of cases. Digital imaging showed a mean reduction in skin laxity of 25%. Adverse events were mild and transient, including swelling (60%), bruising (50%), and mild discomfort (30%). No severe complications were reported.

Conclusion: The double needle thread lift is an effective and safe option for patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation, with high satisfaction rates and a favorable safety profile. Further long-term studies are warranted to confirm these findings and optimize procedural techniques.
