Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure to lift sagging facial regions, caused by ageing. It is performed under local anesthesia, takes less than an hour and does not even require any hospitalisation.
As we age, the loss of collagen and elastin in our skin can lead to wrinkles and folds. Loss of collagen combined with the loss of fat leads to a tired and aged appearance of the face.
Silhouette soft sutures is a revolutionary treatment to combat signs of ageing. Without cuts or surgery, sutures used are placed under the skin with a thin needle and lift sagging tissue sections. The sutures used are completely biodegradable, which means they will not have to be removed. They are made of polylactic acid, which stimulates the production of collagen, which means that your skin will look fuller and more natural even after decommissioning ends.
The results are a youthful appearance with gently lifted tissues as well as wrinkles and folds. Recovery is quick. There may be some very mild bruising and swelling in the days after treatment, and mild tension in the treated areas.
The surgeon will give you advice tailored to your lifestyle. Treatment is aimed at obtaining volume and tightening of the skin in areas where sutures are placed. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require any incisions or stitches.
