Why use Threads ?
Threads offer a non-surgical solution for lifting and tightening sagging skin. They work by inserting dissolvable sutures beneath the skin to create a natural lift while stimulating collagen production. This treatment is ideal for those seeking to address skin laxity in areas like the face, neck, and jawline, offering immediate results without the need for invasive surgery. Threads not only improve facial contours but also enhance skin texture and firmness over time as collagen builds in the treated areas.
How do Threads work?
A non-surgical method by which a series of dissolvable sutures are inserted into the hypodermis, providing immediate lifting while stimulating collagen production for long-term skin improvement. There are two types of threads: one enhances skin quality, and the other provides physical suspension for a more defined lift. The threads dissolve in a natural manner over the course of 6 months to 2 years, the dissolving action stimulates collagen production in the area.
What can I expect?
Thread lifting is a quick, minimally invasive procedure with no required downtime. After the sutures are placed in the hypodermis to lift and tighten the skin, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days. Results are visible immediately, with continued improvement as collagen production is stimulated over time. Depending on the type of threads used, you’ll either experience enhanced skin quality or a more physically lifted and contoured appearance.
