Thread-lifting is the art of inserting bio-absorbable or permanent suture threads in to specific areas of the skin in order to lift the facial features and to assist in the production of vital youth-giving substances such as collagen and elastin. Our surgeons provide bespoke thread lift treatments, by combining techniques for the best results.
We all know that the ageing process can play havoc with our skin. It can can cause facial laxity, volume loss, dullness and dehydration – leading to lines and wrinkles and a lacklustre appearance. Features such as jowls can appear as well as heavy eyelids and a turkey neck. Learn about thread lifting for the neck.
None of this is something we neither look forward to or wish for, but if the signs of ageing are beginning to concern you, we offer a long-term, effective treatment to physically lift and tighten the skin, back in to place without the use of surgery, Botox or dermal fillers. This treatment is called thread-lifting.
Dr Medispa cosmetic surgery and skin clinics are CQC-approved settings for thread lifts, and all of our doctors are surgeons, which makes them more experienced and attentive to detail than clinics where doctors come from a GP background.
An in-depth consultation is required before any treatment with our surgeons at Dr Medispa. Patient concerns and des. A formulaic approach is required for the best outcome when it comes to thread lifting, so facial measurements are taken in order to develop a bespoke treatment.
Treatments are performed in state-of-the-art facilities Patients who choose Dr Medispa for their thread lift will receive industry-leading aftercare and follow up.
If you are in your late 30s to early 50s, you’ll probably be noticing moderate to advanced signs of skin ageing. This window of time is perfect for thread-lifting. Older patients with more significant ageing issues would tend to be more suited to a procedure such as keyhole facelift surgery.
However, before any treatment can proceed here at Dr Medispa, you will be asked to attend a no-obligation consultation, so that one of our specialist doctors can assess your individual skin concerns as well as check your medical history, to determine whether you are suitable and healthy for thread-lifting.
Not everyone is suitable for a thread lift. Those that are showing deep signs of ageing may be recommended to have a Keyhole Facelift™. Developed by our chief medical officer Dr Somji, the Keyhole Facelift™ blurs the line between non-surgical and surgical anti-ageing treatment, without the need for invasive surgery and long recovery.
There may be some slight discomfort during a thread-lifting procedure, however, with the use of a topical anaesthetic and the more advanced, modern products and methods now available, the treatment should not be painful.
Results with PDO threads can last anything from 6 months to 18 months and Silhouette Soft threads last up to 2 years. The results from Spring Threads last from 3 to 5 years, making them extremely cost-effective as a long-term solution to skin and facial ageing. Your individual requirements and unique facial concerns will determine which type of thread/s your doctor will recommend.
Threads are extremely versatile and can be applied in all areas of the face and neck as well as in the elbows, knees and décolletage. In fact, anywhere where there is loose, lax and sagging skin can benefit from thread-lifting.
