Are you unhappy that your skin is losing its firmness as you age? Is your skin starting to sag due to the natural ageing process? Do you find yourself pulling back the sagging skin on your cheeks or neck in front of the mirror, wishing it was firmer like it used to be? Over time, our skin loses its moisturising properties, such as collagen, that keep our skin looking firm and youthful. In the past, invasive procedures such as facelifts were needed to tighten and firm the skin. Fortunately, there is now a minimally invasive treatment to lift and rejuvenate sagging skin. The revolutionary thread lift procedure can effectively lift and smooth the skin while building collagen without the need for invasive surgery.
What is Thread Lifting surgery?
Thread lifting is one of the most popular and highly effective non-surgical methods of lifting and tightening loose, sagging skin. It is performed using special threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), which instantly tightens the skin for a younger-looking appearance. The most common areas of application are the cheeks, jowls, neck and eyebrows. The sutures used in this procedure are FDA approved for correcting the signs of ageing in common problematic areas. They work under the skin’s surface to lift and reposition sagging tissue and skin with safety and precision. This effectively creates a source of support for loose tissue and repositions sagging skin.
How is Thread Lifting Aesthetics performed?
Specially designed PDO sutures are used in the procedure. These FDA approved sutures are considered one of the safest materials to use in the body because they do not form scar tissue. During the procedure, the sutures are gently placed in sensitive areas under the skin. The skin is then tightened and repositioned for a more youthful appearance. Once the threads are in place, your skin responds gently to the threads at a cellular level, encouraging repair and collagen production. The entire procedure takes less than 30 minutes and is performed under local anaesthetic.
When will the results be visible?
You may experience some minor discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers. You will notice the results of a thread lift immediately, but your skin will continue to rejuvenate for 2-3 months after the operation. The results of the procedure will last longer than the life of the sutures. Ongoing treatments may be recommended to maintain optimal results. With this revitalising procedure, you can say goodbye to aged skin and hello to youthful, vibrant skin.
