Description

The increase in demand for non-surgical procedures has led to the evolution of many ‘lunch hour’ procedures in aesthetic surgery. Some patients want less invasive, less painful and economical procedures with short recovery times. Till the last 15-20 years, the only way to address a patient’s complaints of facial skin laxity and tissue descent- such as the development of jowls & exaggerated nasolabial folds – was facelift surgery. Face-lift surgery is still the gold standard procedure for facial ageing. It is the only procedure with definitive, predictable, and long-lasting results in patients with changes of ageing face who want to look young. However, a facelift is a major invasive procedure, has long noticeable scars, a significant downtime for recovery and may have some complications. The thread-lift was invented as a solution to this problem of long downtime, to minimise the scar and reduce the invasiveness of the procedure, but at the cost of reduced longevity. Thread lift is a cosmetic procedure to lift and align sagging tissues of aging face by using absorbable ‘threads’. It also adds definition to facial contours. It improves facial features by lifting sagging cheeks and sagging eyebrows, by correcting marionette lines and by supporting neck. Threads have unique special design in form of soft barbs or cogs which hold and lift the surrounding tissues without any scar. Apart from the lifting effect, the threads also combat aging by stimulating the production of collagen around the threads. This neo-collagen helps to rejuvenate the skin by improving the texture & thickness of the skin. Threads are primarily used to correct the nasolabial folds, mid-facial descent, jowls and neck. To achieve the best results with the Thread-Lift we use a combination treatment with HA (Hyaluronic Acid) Dermal Fillers. The Thread-Lift treatment repositions sagging skin, providing definition and contouring and the HA Dermal Fillers replaces the lost volume smoothing the surface lines and wrinkles.
