A Thread Lift is a means to reverse the look of sagging skin, a natural phenomenon of ageing. Through the use of surgical sutures being introduced into certain areas of the face including the brows, nose, cheeks and neck, the procedure can lift and tighten the skin by gathering the threads in the area. These threads feature minute hooks and barbs that catch and lift the skin.
Threads are introduced under the skin via a single needle. The threads can stimulate blood circulation and collagen production, which can result in tighter and more lifted skin.
Thread Lift can be used to lift and improve the appearance of sagging skin in the jowls, cheeks, brows, double chin, neck. It can also be used to heighten the Nose Bridge and sharpen the Nose Tip.
A thorough consultation with a doctor is required to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.
For a Face Thread Lift, you can see immediate improvements as the threads works on lifting it mechanically. In approximately 1 to 3 months, you may see an improvement of skin complexion with a smoother texture. In about 3 to 6 months: Firming of sagging skin tissues, reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. In approximately 6 to 18 months: Full results of the treatment are apparent; skin is taut and supple with a youthful quality.
For a Nose Thread Lift, results are immediate as the threads give your nose immediate mechanical definition and support. Once any swelling has resolved, you will be able to see the final results, which can last anywhere from 6 to 9 months depending on the individual.
The Thread Lift procedure can be completed under and hour and a half or less, with the need to administer a local anaesthetic.
Some complications can include slight bruising and swelling. As with any procedure or treatment, results and side effects can vary by individual.
There are several non-invasive face lifting procedures available, including energy-based devices and injectable treatments. During a private consultation, our doctors will assess your individual needs and recommend a personalised approach to support your skin health and rejuvenation goals.
