First Time Trying Threads In My Face

 Well, I did a thing! Yes, I inserted some threads for the first time into my face. Although there are many places I would have liked to try and treat first, I began with my upper cheek region. Why? Because if you imagine threads as being scaffolding for the skin, one of the places where sagging begins is from the cheekbones down.

Beauty DIY should be slow and steady, there is no rush. I started out with inserting 20 threads, 10 each side in a mesh pattern to create optimum structure.

My experience with the threads wasn't as daunting as I had expected. I made sure to insert each needle bevel up which is the ideal position to penetrate the skin, beginning at a 30 degree angle then proceeding more flush to the skin upon inserting.

You can numb before the procedure but I opted to do without and only felt discomfort when in the wrong plane, when in the correct position the needle glides through the skin with no pain whatsoever. Sometimes it can be frustrating when it seems like you can't get the position just right, on these occasions I just took a beat, enough time for a breath knowing I could stop at any time.

It's imprtant to note that isopropyl alcohol has been my friend to make sure I have a clean environment when doing more invasive treatments.

I have a video of the procedure but be warned that there is a small amount of blood involved and could be triggering to some.
