The threads are made from Polylactic acid, a naturally occurring substance that has been used in medicine for over 25 years.
The Polylatic threads insert into the subcutaneous tissue, which is 5mm underneath the skin’s surface,
and boast a special patented design. Over time they gradually stimulate collagen production to restore facial volume
and smooth out deep lines and wrinkles.
You will enjoy a dual effect following your Thread Lift treatment, first you will see an instant 1-2cm lift created by the threads.
Then six to eight weeks after your treatment you will see a rejuvenating effect due to increased production of collagen,
which cause by the breakdown of the thread. The threads are completely biodegradable
and will safely absorb by the body over ten to eleven months.
IS A THREAD LIFT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Thread Lifts recommend for people who are looking to combat signs of ageing caused by reduced collagen production.
A Thread Lift is a great alternative to surgery but gives long lasting results, from 12 to 18 months,
and can combine with anti-ageing injections too.
Thread Lifts aren’t suitable for everyone, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding
or who suffer from anti-coagulation or auto-immune conditions.
THREAD-LIFTING – WHAT’S INVOLVED
There are three different procedures known generally as: surgical thread lifting, non-surgical threat lifting and beauty threads.
While all portfolio use mainly for the face, they can sometimes apply on the neck, cleavage and even body areas too.
All three procedures will stimulate the production of collagen (the protein that gives our skin its youthful appearance), restoring firmness.
This means beauty threads, which do not lift, can result in a subtle increase in firmness
in patients aged 30 to 40, the result of the skin’s condition improving.
All types of threads will tighten the surrounding tissues and increase blood supply which in turn can lead to healthier, firmer skin.
It’s essential whoever treats you is properly qualified and has thread- lifting experience. Ask to speak to other patients and see verifiable testimonials.
Watch out too for some practitioners, unable to offer surgical and non-surgical options,
who may suggest beauty threads instead for want of anything else. Remember this does not mean this is the correct course for you.
