Wrinkles / Fine Lines Reduction by Non-Surgical Thread Lift

WHAT CAUSES WRINKLES / FINE LINES?

As you age, you will begin to develop ridges and creases in your skin which leads to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. This is an unavoidable part of aging because your skin stops producing collagen, a substance needed to repair your skin and keep it smooth and elastic. Your skin will be drier and thinner, making it more prone to damage, which may also be caused by overexposure to the sun or dehydration.

HOW IT WORKS

The treatment area will be first outlined, after which your doctor inserts PDO (Polydiozanone) threads that are absorbable to rejuvenate your skin. Nets will form between several threads, boosting the collagen production in your skin cells. In addition, your skin also slowly absorbs these threads over the next 6-8 months. It reduces signs of aging, while greatly improving the complexion of your skin. You should notice your skin firming up as a result of the increase of collagen, which also leads to reduced wrinkles and fine lines.

WHY THREAD LIFT?

Thread lift offers results that can last up to 1-2 years, and is a non-surgical procedure suitable for those afraid of undergoing surgery. It also provides results that are almost immediate, with no downtime needed for recovery.

DURING THE PROCEDURE

An anaesthetic cream is applied to the outlined treatment area to numb the skin before the thread lift begins, minimising any discomfort or pain. The insertion of the threads into the specific area will take about 30-40 minutes to finish, depending on the area. There will be a tiny, prickling sensation similar to acupuncture needling but it is not painful.
The threads can vary in thickness and length, depending on the treatment area. Fine lines and the eye area are generally treated using shorter threads, while the neck and jawlines can be fixed using longer threads. Thicker threads may also be used instead of Botox, and inserted into the forehead muscles to reduce the wrinkles there. Your doctor will offer advice about the treatments for specific areas to get optimal results.
