Thread Facial/ Neck Lifting
A thread lift is a non-surgical rejuvenation procedure for the face and neck. To compare with a traditional surgical face/neck lift, it is less invasive and has a lower risk.
Why is it performed?
It is performed to rejuvenate the skin and increase volume over the brows, cheeks, and jaws, stimulating the skin to regenerate collagen.
How is the procedure performed?
The thread lift procedure does not require General Anaesthesia or hospitalisation and can be completed in 1-2 hours. Your doctor will evaluate your skin and mark areas where special threads will be inserted to lift and volumise the skin.
The threads are inserted through small needle puncture sites in a barely noticeable manner. Barbs or hooks on the threads hold the skin in place. The threads used will be absorbed by your body in 12-24 months on average for our APTOS thread. However, for a contour lift, a type of thread will be used, which can be a clear, non-absorbable thread.
You should discuss with your doctor during your consultation before your thread lift procedure to determine which type of thread is best suited for your treatment.
Who is an ideal candidate for the procedure?
A thread lift is ideal for those in their 30s to 60s who have minor facial aging without excessive looseness or drooping skin.
How soon can I expect to see results?
You can see some results follow the procedure, which continues to yield the peak result for the next 12-16 months, as the procedure stimulates collagen production.
Are there any risks associated with this procedure?
