What are thread lifts?
A thread lift procedure is also known as a non-surgical facelift and also a ‘lunchtime facelift’ due the speed of the treatment. A thread lift is a minimally invasive anti-ageing aesthetic procedure where dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin with a needle. The threads are hidden underneath the skin and the procedure leaves no visible scarring.
Thread lifts also have an anti-ageing effect by stimulating the skin’s production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid (HA). This element is termed bio-revitalisation.
Thread lifts are the perfect treatment for patients who feel like they would benefit from a face-lift but do not want to go through the surgery and don’t like the costs involved.
Why have a thread lift?
As skin ages it starts to become thinner and becomes more inelastic, and thus starts to show signs of sagging. Thread lifts offer a minimally invasive solution to this sagging as facial tissues can be moved to their original position. This worldwide, popular treatment has a fast recovery time and is known for its fantastic results.
