Thread lift is a gentle method – without the use of scalpels or incisions – for skin tightening. Aging causes collagen and elastin levels to decline, resulting in loose, sagging skin.
A thread lift uses special threads with very fine barbs, placed under the fat tissue of the face to recreate a defined facial contour and raise falling tissues. Sunken eyebrows return to their youthful position, the corners of the mouth no longer sag, and the mid-facial area retains its volume. With just one treatment, a tired face looks young and fresh again and this effect will continue to improve over the next few months.
Different types of thread can be used depending on the desired result. The procedure is performed under local anesthetic; if the guest wishes, he can actively participate in the procedure and decide on what changes he would like to make. Side effects such as swelling or small bruises at the insertion sites will disappear within a few days after the thread lift.
Thread lifting is recommended for lifting the chin and cheeks, corners of the mouth, nasolabial fold, midface, nose, neck, double chin and eyebrows. Using threads, an overall rejuvenation of the facial skin may also be achieved.
What kind of results can be expected after Thread Lift and how long does the results last?
The result of Thread Lift is immediate and even more noticeable with time as your skin produces more collagen over the next several months.
Are there any side effects after Thread Lift?
Like any procedure using a needle, there is a chance of bruising and swelling. However, for the majority, the bruising and swelling is minimal and if it does occur, usually resolves in less than a week and can be covered with makeup easily. Some patients report mild discomfort post-treatment which resolves quickly in a day. In very rare instances, threads may be displaced or become partially visible; they can be easily removed if necessary and new threads can be placed.
