A thread lift is a nonsurgical procedure that passes threads underneath the surface of your skin to lift the tissue. They may have tiny barbs or cones, to help grip the skin—and, when appropriately positioned, they give your face a more lifted, toned appearance, especially around the lower face and jowls.
As the threads are absorbed over the first six months, they trigger a boost in your natural collagen production that can improve your skin’s firmness for up to a year. It’s been dubbed a “lunchtime lift” because it’s quick, with minimal downtime, especially compared to a surgical facelift.
During the face lift recovery, patients should allow for adequate healing time and expect some postoperative swelling, numbness, and skin discoloration for about two weeks. All incisions and dressings should be kept dry until the surgeon indicates that showering or bathing is okay.
The most discomfort people typically feel are the numbing agents given before the procedure starts. The actual procedure of injecting the threads are not felt due to the proper preparations.
Just like our Face Lift, Brow Lifts are a minimally invasive technique used to lift sagging forehead of the patient, as well the neck and midface tissue. The procedure provides better lift because of the use of absorbable cones that offers more traction when lifting the soft tissue underneath the skin’s surface. The sutures are placed at the temporal fascia through a puncture that’s made right above the hairline. This will be where the sutures will be anchored.
