The Threadlift Facelift is HereMany people in their middle years become depressed about their 'jowly' appearance. Even those who have looked after their skin scrupulously all their lives are not immune to skin sag in their late forties or fifties.
Sagging skin is an inevitable part of aging. Unlike photo-aging which causes wrinkles, age spots, blotchy complexion and red veins, sagging skin is simply
effect of gravity over time and seems to affect
face more noticeably as it cannot be concealed by makeup.
A face lift used to be
only option open to those who wished for personal or professional reasons to restore a youthful glow to their faces. Other treatments such as laser surgery or chemical peels have no effect.
Fortunately another option has appeared -
threadlift. The threadlift, contour lift or Russian threads, call it what you will, is great for those who shudder at
thought of a surgeons knife, no matter how skilful, cutting into
skin of their face. Other bonuses are less discomfort and
much shorter downtime necessary after this non surgical option.
The threadlift procedure uses an intradermal thread which has tiny 'barbs' along its length. These barbs catch
tissues below
surface of
skin, lifting
surrounding area and producing a subtle but noticeable rejuvenating effect on
face. Tiny slits are made in
skin and
threads are inserted with needles using a zig zag type pattern to ensure they adhere properly. The small slits should heal without requiring stitches and surgical tape is usually instead. The threadlift can be done under local anaesthetic and hospitalization is not needed.
