Non-Surgical Thread Lift: Instant Face Lifting & Collagen Stimulation

As we get old, the structural proteins that provide our skin with the firmness, i.e. collagen and elastin, start to lose their stimulus. This causes progressive downward movement of the tissues over the face, which causes jowling, deepening of nasolabial folds, and loss of definition in the jawline. The jump to invasive surgery is too soon, in the eyes of many, but topical creams have weak outcomes.

The Non-Surgical Thread Lift has become the absolute compromise. This is a minimally invasive treatment that offers an immediate mechanical lift and causes the body to initiate its own healing mechanism of strengthening the skin internally. Through the use of Facial Contouring Threads the patient is able to attain a revitalized look with much less recovery time than that of the conventional surgery.

The Collagen-Stimulating PDO Threads Science

Modern thread lifting is a twofold action intervention. Although physical enhancement of lifting the skin is the most evident advantage, the magic in the long term is its material. The modern processes are mostly done using Collagen-Stimulating PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads.

PDO is an absorbable medical-grade polymer which has a long history of use in cardiovascular surgery. These threads become a scaffold when embedded in the skin. In the next few months, the hydrolysis gradually breaks down the threads in the body with a strong net-work of Type I and Type III collagen. This process will make sure that once the threads take away, the skin will be firmer and tighter.

Barbed Thread Lift vs. Smooth Threads

Not every thread has a similar purpose. A barbed thread lift involves the use of specialized suture with microscopic cogs which grip the tissue enabling the practitioner to literally pull back the hanging skin. On the contrary, smooth threads are usually applied in a mesh-like structure to enhance skin texture and thickness without giving it a significant lift.

Common Uses in Contouring of the face

The thread technology is extremely versatile which enables considering highly-customized treatments with respect to particular aesthetic concerns.

Sagging Jowl Repair: Surgeons can use the threads placed near the ear and pulled towards the jawline to re-drape the “pre-jowl sulcus” to create a sharp, youthful, mandibular shape.

The Fox Eye Lift: This particular procedure involves the use of Facial Contouring Threads and involves the raise of the outer tail of the brow and the lateral canthus of the eye to produce a more almond shaped exotic eye appearance.

Mid-Face Volumization: The threads may be used to reposition the fat pads of the malar (cheek fat), which makes the smile lines less pronounced and the features under the eyes hollowed.

Thread Lift Recovery Time What to expect

The comparatively low thread lift recovery time is one of the main benefits of this procedure. In comparison with a surgical facelift, which can take weeks to heal, the majority of patients are back to their normal social life a few days after surgery.

Normal post-treatment effects are:

• Semi-swelling or bruising on the points of entry.
• There was a feeling of tightness within the first week.
• Minor dimpling which usually fades away as the threads become part of the tissue.

Surgical Precision in Non-Invasive Care

The marriage of tension and anatomy is a successful thread lift. The threads are too shallow, and the threads are too deep, resulting in the inability to see and inability to lift, respectively.

Dr. Badie Idris is an internationally trained Consultant Aesthetic Surgeon who is a 17-year specialist in aesthetic and regenerative medicine. He has an MBBS, MS (Surgery), as well as a Ph.D. in Aesthetics (USA), so his style is based on surgical precision. Being part of the American Society of Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Idris is convinced that all Non-Surgical Thread Lifts provided at the London Aesthetics and Rejuvenation Centre are focused on the health of the tissues and the harmonious appeal of nature.

These superior services are offered by the Centre in its three main outlets: DHA Phase 3, Thokar Niaz Baig, and Faisalabad.

Frequently Asked Questions

So, what is the Non-Surgical Thread Lift?

It is a process in which temporary, medical grade sutures are placed in order to achieve a very slight, yet noticeable, lift in the skin. The surgeon does not have to surgically remove the loose skin of the patient, but only hangs it by sewing parts of it.

Who should be the best person in such treatment?

It is best used by persons whose skin becomes loose rather mild and moderate in their late 30s to late 50s. It is a good alternative to people who are dissatisfied with sagging jowls or drooping brows but are not yet ready to undergo a complete rhytidectomy (facelift).

Is there a risk of safety?

Thread lifts are said to be low risk. Possible complications are transitory bruising, infection or thread movement. These risks are much less in case the operation is done by a Consultant Surgeon in a sterile clinical environment.

How long do the results last?

Although the threads are absorbed after 6 to 9 months, the secondary lift that is a collagen lift may continue even up to 18 to 24 months. The outcome of an individual is different, depending on age, skin condition, and other habits such as smoking or exposure to sunlight.

Average non-invasive face lift price?

The price will depend on how many threads are needed and how complicated are the areas to be treated. Although it is cheaper than surgery, the investment is the quality of the premium PDO materials applied and the specialty of the operated surgeon.

Conclusions: The Future of Facial Rejuvenation

The Non-Surgical Thread Lift is the great change in our attitude to aging on our faces. We are assured of long-term and natural results as we concentrate on collagen stimulation and not just tightening.

The right practitioner will be the one who is well informed on regenerative medicine so that your treatment will benefit your skin in the long run.
