Introduction
Whether non-surgical thread lift (water wave thread lift) can effectively treat under-eye bags and nasolabial folds primarily depends on the degree of skin laxity and individual conditions. For individuals in good health with mild skin laxity, this procedure usually yields certain results. However, for those in poor health or with severe skin laxity, the outcomes may be less satisfactory. It is important to note that regardless of individual circumstances, non-surgical thread lift should always be performed at a reputable and正规 medical facility.

Generally, non-surgical thread lift (also known as "water wave lift") is a procedure that restores skin tightness through hyaluronic acid injections or other minimally invasive techniques. The usual reference price for non-surgical thread lift ranges from 3,000 to 10,000 yuan per session, and visible improvement is generally seen within 7 to 15 days. Whether non-surgical thread lift can effectively remove under-eye bags and nasolabial folds mainly depends on the degree of skin laxity and individual conditions. If the individual's overall health is good and the skin laxity is mild, the treatment usually shows some effectiveness. However, if the individual's health condition is poor and the skin is severely lax, the results may be unsatisfactory. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the skin laxity is mild to moderate and the individual's age is relatively young (under 50 years old), with a current good skin condition and still existing skin elasticity, combined with an overall good health status and rapid absorption rate, non-surgical thread lift usually can effectively reduce under-eye bags and nasolabial folds. This method can lift the skin and improve symptoms of skin sagging.

However, if the skin laxity is severe and the individual is older with significant skin aging, including symptoms such as skin drooping and depression, and if the individual's general health is poor, skin elasticity has nearly disappeared, and absorption is slow, then the effectiveness of non-surgical thread lift for treating under-eye bags and nasolabial folds is often unsatisfactory, possibly failing to fill or restore skin tightness. Relief may be achieved through balanced nutrition, regular sleep patterns, and other lifestyle improvements.

It should be noted that regardless of the situation, non-surgical thread lift should always be performed at a reputable medical facility to avoid complications caused by improper procedures. Additionally, maintaining proper local hygiene after the procedure is important to reduce the risk of infection.
