Threads
When we consistently surpass your expectations
Thread lifting, a minimally invasive technique, repositions facial tissues using dissolvable threads, stimulating collagen for lifted skin. This procedure addresses aging concerns with minimal risk compared to surgery, tailored for specific areas and desired outcomes.
As we age, our skin undergoes changes, losing its firmness and resilience. This leads to the development of wrinkles and sagging. Moreover, the weakening of cartilage contributes to the loosening and sagging of the skin in various facial areas.
During a thread lift procedure, a medical-grade thread is carefully inserted into the face to tighten and lift the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance. This technique can complement other approaches like Botox or dermal fillers to reduce the signs of aging.
Typically, individuals between their late 30s and early 50s are suitable candidates for a thread lift. This procedure tends to yield optimal results for those in good overall health who are starting to notice early signs of aging. For individuals unsuitable for surgical facelifts due to health concerns related to general anesthesia, a thread lift might be a safer alternative.
How Long Do Treatments Last?
Botox usually has three to four months’ worth of effects. At this point, a retreat is advised. As muscular activity gradually increases, lines and wrinkles start to resurface and require further treatment. Because the muscles are diminishing over time, the lines and wrinkles frequently become less noticeable.
How a Thread Lift Works:
Firstly, in a thread lift procedure, your doctor inserts temporary threads beneath your skin, gently pulling it back or upward. This creates a tighter appearance in the treated area as the threads, acting as supportive filaments, secure and hold the skin in place. This immediate effect results in an elevated look for your face.
Secondly, these threads stimulate your body’s natural healing response. They trigger your body to generate more collagen in the treated areas, interpreting the threads as a form of injury. This increased collagen production contributes to a fuller, more plump appearance of the skin, aided by your natural skin collagen protein
What are the steps involved in performing a thread lift?
To execute a thread lift, your skin will be numbed locally. Thin needles called cannulas will be inserted under your skin in targeted areas. These cannulas guide the threads into position. The quantity of threads needed depends on the treatment area. Once the threads are set, the cannula is removed, leaving no scars but potential discomfort.
Areas commonly treated with a thread lift include:
- Cheeks and Jawline.
- Brow arch.
- Under-eye area.
- Forehead.
Risk Of Getting Thread Lifts
Common experiences post-thread lift include:
- Bruising.
- Swelling.
- Mild discomfort at the thread injection site.
Possible complications of thread lifts may involve:
- Irritation leading to post-operative redness.
- Facial stiffness or difficulty in movement due to the threads.
- Infection risk, inherent to any medical procedure.
Types of Threads
“Thread lifts commonly use barbed or smooth threads, each offering specific benefits like enhanced lift or collagen stimulation for skin tightening, tailored to individual needs.”
