At Melior Clinics in Tallinn three thread treatments are available: a thread lift with COG threads, Fox Eye for the eye area, and mesothreads. They are non-surgical, but a short recovery period is needed.","melior_seo_body":"<h2>What thread treatments are and how they work<\/h2><p>Aesthetic threads are made from an absorbable material such as polydioxanone (PDO), which has been used in surgery for decades. Each thread is placed under the skin with a fine needle or cannula. Over time it is absorbed, while new collagen forms around it.<\/p><p>There are two types. COG threads have tiny barbs that anchor in the tissue under the skin and hold sagging tissue higher mechanically. Mesothreads are smooth and very fine: they do not lift, but support skin density and elasticity, which change over 4\u20138 weeks. Both types stimulate collagen.<\/p><h2>Thread treatments at Melior Clinics<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/lifting-cog-threads\/\">Lifting COG PDO threads<\/a> \u2013 face, neck and brow lift, 4\u201316 threads<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/fox-eye\/\">Fox Eye<\/a> \u2013 2\u20134 COG threads lifting the brow tail and outer eye corner; also available with botulinum toxin injections<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/teenus-toode\/mesothreads\/\">Mesothreads<\/a> \u2013 face, neck, d\u00e9collet\u00e9, eye and lip area, abdomen<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/prices\/\">Prices are listed in the price list<\/a><\/li><\/ul><h2>What the treatment involves<\/h2><p>At the consultation the specialist assesses skin laxity, previous treatments and your goals, and chooses the type and number of threads. With very heavy eyelids, a surgeon's opinion may be more appropriate. Alcohol and over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen are usually avoided for 48 hours beforehand, as they increase bruising; prescribed medicines are not stopped without a doctor's advice.<\/p><p>Mesothreads and Fox Eye take 30\u201360 minutes, COG threads 60\u201390 minutes. Numbing cream or local anaesthetic is used, and most patients describe pressure or a slight pulling sensation. COG threads and Fox Eye are usually single treatments, repeated when needed; mesothreads are often done as a course of 2\u20133 sessions 4\u20136 weeks apart.<\/p><h2>When threads are not suitable<\/h2><ul><li>pregnancy and breastfeeding;<\/li><li>active inflammation, infection or skin disease in the area;<\/li><li>clotting disorders or anticoagulant use;<\/li><li>autoimmune diseases or a recent severe inflammatory illness;<\/li><li>allergy to the thread material;<\/li><li>recent surgery in the same area.<\/li><\/ul><p>The final decision is made by the specialist at the consultation.<\/p><h2>After the treatment<\/h2><p>Swelling, tightness, tenderness and small bruises are common temporary reactions, usually passing within 1\u20135 days after mesothreads and 5\u201310 days after COG threads. Swelling may cause slight asymmetry in the first days, which usually settles. The usual recommendations are:<\/p><ul><li>no exercise, sauna, sunbeds or facial massage for 5\u20137 days;<\/li><li>after COG threads, no strong facial expressions or opening the mouth wide;<\/li><li>no touching or massaging the area, and sleeping on the back with the head slightly raised;<\/li><li>no make-up on the treated area for 24\u201348 hours.<\/li><\/ul><h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2><h3>How long does a thread lift last?<\/h3><p>A COG thread lift lasts on average 12\u201318 months, Fox Eye usually up to about 9 months and mesothreads 9\u201312 months, depending on skin condition, age and lifestyle.<\/p><h3>Does a thread lift hurt?<\/h3><p>With anaesthesia, discomfort is usually moderate. Most patients describe pressure, slight pulling or pricking, and the area may stay tender for a while.<\/p><h3>Thread lift or fillers \u2013 what is the difference?<\/h3><p>COG threads lift sagging tissue, whereas dermal fillers add volume to specific areas. They address different concerns and can be combined; the plan is agreed at the consultation.<\/p><h3>Can threads be seen or move?<\/h3><p>Threads placed at the right depth are not usually visible, though slight unevenness may be felt in the first days. Following the aftercare advice reduces the risk of shifting.<\/p><p>The service is provided by Melior Clinics (Star Company O\u00dc, Estonian Health Board (Terviseamet) licence L04198), Liivalaia 53, Tallinn, Stockmann department store, 5th floor.<\/p>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/melior.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=1480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
