Gone are the days of invasive treatments that promised results with the unavoidable caveat of extensive downtime! In 2022, patients across the globe are enhancing their complexions with thread lifts. This minimally-invasive procedure, which might sound daunting to some, is one of the quickest and easiest ways to transform your appearance whilst ensuring you can get back to your life without any disruptions.
WHAT DO THREAD LIFTS INVOLVE?
Thread lifts are a relatively quick facial rejuvenation procedure, with many taking as little as 30-45 minutes to complete! The process itself involves dissolvable threads, which are gently inserted underneath the skin and tightened. This creates a lifted and more youthful-looking appearance, which is visible instantly!
The threads themselves will gradually dissolve but this doesn’t mean that results will simply disappear. Due to the nature of this procedure, your skin will be improved from within, as we will go on to explain.
WHY YOU MIGHT NEED THIS PROCEDURE
Naturally, at The Lovely Clinic, we don’t believe that anyone needs a specific procedure. However, if you want to feel more comfortable about your appearance as you age, thread lifts are the ideal solution. As many of us already know, as we get older, several things accumulate to alter our complexions. Common occurrences include the depletion of collagen and elastin proteins and a loss of facial fat.
As time passes, our bone structure itself doesn’t change but the consolidation of the above can lead to loose, sagging skin that appears less plump than normal. Thread lifts counteract this effect mainly around the midface, jawline, eyebrow area and neck to lift the skin and boost its natural collagen production for a natural, yet effective result. What’s more, as your body will continue to produce more new collagen fibres, your results will improve over time.
ANSWERING A FEW QUESTIONS ON THREAD LIFTS
We understand that you might have a few questions about this procedure, so we’ve taken the time to collate a few that we get asked quite often.
WILL THIS PROCEDURE HURT?
Thread lifts do not hurt, trust us. The incredibly fine needles used during this treatment have been created to ensure you feel as little as possible.
HOW LONG WILL MY RESULTS LAST?
On average, you can expect your results to last for 12-18 months before the bonds created by the threads are fully broken down by your body, but this will ultimately vary from person to person.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME REQUIRED?
As we mentioned earlier, one of the best things about this procedure is the fact there’s very little downtime required! Unlike a traditional facelift, thread lifts may leave you with a little bit of mild swelling and bruising following your treatment but will ease within a few days. You can also take over-the-counter painkillers to reduce any pain but, for many, this usually isn’t necessary.
