THREAD
LIFTS
• Face lift effect
• Skin revitalisation
Thread lifts have all but taken over Instagram
in the past couple of years, with many pundits
speculating thread lifts are the secret trend
behind the ubiquitous “IG face”.
Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure
that elevates the soft tissues of the face using
specially designed internal sutures and can
deliver dramatic results that can almost rival
a surgical facelift for the right candidate. The
procedure involves the use of multiple fine
biocompatible threads to lift and support skin
and tissues on the face (usually mid face) and
neck. By inserting threads into the cheek area,
not only can the cheek be suspended to a higher
position, but collagen production can also be
stimulated, thus improving the hydration, tone
and texture of the skin.
The threads dissolve within around nine to 12
months, whilst maintaining the revitalising and
lifting effect for around 2 years. Thread lifts are
performed under local anaesthetic and usually
take around one hour. While there may be some
visible swelling and bruising, you can go back to
work right away if you’d like.
Depending on the thread, results are
immediately apparent, but you should notice
further improvement in the days and weeks
following, as swelling and bruising starts to
subside. CBM
