Thread Lift
A thread-lift is an effective anti-aging technique. It is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure to gently lift sagging skin on the face and neck to produce a more youthful appearance. Specially designed Polydioxanone (PDO) or COG (barb) threads are strategically positioned in the skin with a fine needle and left behind.
What are the Benefits
Thread Lifts are best suited to those desiring a defined jaw line, a lift in their deep nasolabial folds and downward angles of the mouth.
Thread Lifts are the most minimally invasive treatment option for brow lifts, reshaping and re-contouring of the face.
How does it work?
After preparing your skin, our doctor will insert the threads along the direction of the desired lift into various parts of the face. The threads dissolve within a period of 3 weeks to a month.
Optimising results
You will start noticing results within a week. The lifting effect is at its peak 6 months later when collagen has formed around the threads. The effect can last for up to 1-2 years depending on your lifestyle.
Post care
- During the week following treatment, do not undergo any dental surgery, and avoid facial massages or any beauty treatment.
- For the first few weeks, avoid any contact sport.
- Preferably sleep on your back.
- In the event of pain, take a pain reliever according to your doctor’s prescription.
