Ageing and sun damage cause our skin to lose collagen and elastin, the fibres that support the skin and keep it flexible and elastic. As these degrade over time, our skin becomes less resilient, and wrinkles and sagging develop.
While facelift surgery is an option for addressing these concerns, many people are reluctant to choose this plastic surgery procedure because of the risks and costs. Fortunately, there is a non-surgical facelift alternative known as a thread lift.
Also known as a thread facelift, a thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses dissolvable sutures to tighten and lift loose, sagging skin.
These threads are inserted beneath the skin through a small incision. Barbs or cones along the threads attach to the underlying tissues, and when pulled, the threads lift the facial tissues.
This procedure helps address signs of ageing in almost any area of the face and can treat the following concerns:
At Biolite Aesthetic Clinic, we perform thread lifts using polydioxanone (PDO) threads, glycolide/L-lactide (PLG) threads and a variety of other thread types. The Silhouette Instalift is one of the popular brand names we use.
At your consultation, we will evaluate your concerns and skin type to determine the best thread lift option for you.
In general, thread lift results can last from one to three years, as the threads stimulate collagen production within the skin for long-lasting results. If you notice recurrent sagging and wrinkles, you may undergo another thread lift procedure to restore youthful facial contours.
