Thread Lift
THREAD LIFT
Giving you a subtle, natural-looking face lift treatment.
Effectively lifting and tightening soft, drooping areas of skin by stimulating collagen production. The treatment involves implanting thin, dissolvable polydioxanone threads into the skin’s deep SMAS layer along pre-marked contours. These threads stimulate the production of collagen and tissue contraction as it begins to develop new bundles of collagen around the threads.
Once six-months has passed, the threads that were implanted will have dissolved into the body, leaving the patient with new collagen in it’s place, and a subtle yet effective lift of the area.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the results last?
A visible lift in the skin will be seen immediately after the threads have been implanted. Improving over the next 2-6 months, the lift will be at it’s best 6 months once the new collagen has formed. Depending on the individual, the effects of your new lift will typically remain for 12-24 months once its hit it’s peak.
Will it hurt?
Most treatments are carried out using a local anaesthetic, so the thread lift is not a painful treatment.
How long are treatment times?
Typically 45 – 60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
Is down-time needed after my treatment?
