XC Non-Surgical Thread Lift
Until recently, the effective way to address facial skin laxity such as drooping cheeks and jowls was facelift surgery. After all, while skin resurfacing or radiofrequency treatments can help to restore some degree of firmness, once loose skin is present, only a scalpel can truly remove it.
However, not everyone is willing to undergo surgery. Therefore you’ll be happy to know that a new type of procedure has been developed to fill in the gap between non-invasive facial rejuvenation and facelift surgery – the thread lift.
What is a thread lift?
A thread lift is a type of procedure where temporary sutures with barbs are placed under the skin to produce a subtle but visible “lift” in the skin. Instead of removing the patient’s loose facial skin surgically, our doctors will simply suspends it by stitching up portions of it. This has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly and therefore lifting and tightening the face.
In addition to being ideal for lifting the skin, threads also stimulates collagen production which keep our skin strong, voluminous and supple. This is particular important as our bodies gradually produce less and less collagen when we get older and eventually leads to the reduction of skin thickness and the creation of excess skin and wrinkles.
What are the advantages of having a thread lift instead of a facelift?
The biggest advantage of having a thread lift rather than a facelift is the greatly reduced recovery time. Unlike facelift surgery which requires heavily sedation and many days of downtime, the recovery from a thread lift is comparatively easy. Thread lift procedure can be performed under local anesthesia meaning patients themselves can return to work and their daily activities immediately without the need for taking few days off from work. This procedure is therefore ideal for people who have children at home or those who have busy, demanding careers. Thread lifts are much easier to perform then facelift surgery and it is more affordable. The biggest advantage of thread lifts is low risk, thanks to how non-invasive they are.
