Face thread lifts
Thread lift if a non-surgical minimally invasive lifting technique that uses 100% bio-absorbable threads to contour the shape of the face, neck and nose.
The procedure involves the insertion of threads about 5mm under the skin with a thin yet flexible cannula. The cannula gently pushes aside the skin to minimise discomfort and bruising. No incision of the skin is made. Once the threads are inserted, they can be tightened as desired. The threads act as a permanent support structure for the tissue of the face and neck, helping to redefine facial contours and induce collagen production. The ends of the threads are cut off; no stitches are necessary. An ideal procedure that immediately helps to give contour, lift and shape the face as desired without going under the knife. The threads have been scientifically proven to be fully absorbed by the body in 6 to 8 months, however the effect of the treatment can last for up to 2 years as the body starts to produce new collagen and tissue fibroblasts, which will in turn result in tighter skin and a lifting effect, making one look rejuvenated and refreshed.
