Want to wipe away a few fine lines, get that perfect arch for your eyebrows or get rid of the unsightly double chin? You can get all of the above done in matter of a few minutes with the help of a painless, non-surgical procedure. The latest instant facelift technique that is gaining popularity all around the world is the thread contour instant lift technique. Dr Ramanjit Singh, Sr Consultant Cosmetic Dermatologist, Medanta The Medicity says, “The latest cosmetic procedure is dermal thread lift and it’s gaining popularity amongst city women.”
A thread lift is classified as a a minimally invasive cosmetic enhancement technique that lifts sagging skin on the face and neck using surgical suture threads and is usually performed on an outpatient basis . The procedure takes around 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
The thread lift procedure involves insertion of very fine threaded needles under the skin to anchor both ends to lift and suspend the skin. Several variations of the threading technique exist, to meet specific patient needs. Once the individual situation has been assessed, generally between 2 and 20 threads will be used. You can expect to go home within half an hour of the procedure. You can also expect to be back to normal activities immediately after. No post care is required. Slight heaviness may be felt for few hours. After the lift, threads take a few weeks to settle into place and integrate properly with the skin. Full results are visible within a month of the procedure and the results lasts for about one and a half to two years. After that repeat treatment is required. As with any procedure, there are risks and complications that may arise following a thread lift. Bruising and swelling may occur in few patients immediately after the procedure– This is natural, and you can expect it to resolve on its own.
A Thread Lift provides modest and subtle changes rather than dramatic results, You can opt to have a thread lift to reduce signs of premature ageing, especially sagging skin on the face and neck.
You are a good candidate for the procedure if:
- You are 40 or above.
- You want to improve your looks by enhancing and highlighting features lost to premature ageing, improving sagging or loose skin on your face and neck.
- The changes that have occurred in your face and neck are not serious enough to warrant a surgical face or neck lift
- You are not expecting dramatic changes, but subtle ones.
- You do not have the time or the need to undergo a surgical face lift at this time.
The biggest advantage of a thread lift is the absence of visible scars , very short downtime with no hindrance in routine activities and a thread lift can also be combined with other non-invasive procedures such as anti-wrinkle injections, laser treatments and facial peels that help improve skin texture.
