At the Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic in Chalfont St Peter, we know that daily concerns can affect the face and neck, giving the appearance a tired look with features that start to lose their definition. A thread lift can restore a youthful look by lifting loose skin around the eyebrows, cheeks, neck and jawline, as well as working to smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
During a thread lift procedure at our Chalfont St Peter clinic, temporary polydioxanone sutures are inserted into the skin at discreet places around the face and neck. The soft threads work by gripping on to the underlying tissues which helps to pull the skin tight. Collagen will also be produced where the thread has been inserted as this process triggers the body’s need to repair itself. The skin will then become firmer and fuller, with increased elasticity.
Thread lifts are becoming more and more popular as a cosmetic procedure, producing results that are similar to a surgical face lift – minus the lengthy and painful recovery time. The final results may be instantly noticeable, developing further during the few weeks that follow. Patients often express that smoother, tighter skin around the eyebrows, forehead, cheeks, jawline, eyes and neck often leaves them looking 10 years younger, which has a significant impact on their self-confidence. As with many non-surgical treatments, a thread lift offers a temporary solution for youthful rejuvenation of the face and neck. However, the effects can last for up to 3 years for which the progression of the ageing process will also contribute to.
A thread lift may be a suitable solution for men or women who are concerned with lines, wrinkles and sagging skin on their face and neck. The thread lift procedure at our clinic near Gerrards Cross can improve the look of the eyebrows, eye area, forehead, cheeks, brow line and jaw to give a fresher appearance, as well as restoring youthful definition. A thorough consultation with one of our expert clinicians will address your concerns and consider your expected outcome.
Thread lift treatment is considered to be safe for a patient who is deemed a suitable candidate. Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic in Chalfont St Peter ensures that trained and experienced doctors or medical professionals carry out a consultation before a procedure such as this to screen candidates. As a less invasive alternative to having a surgical face lift, a thread lift can be kinder in terms of recovery and side effects.
A cosmetic thread lift uses an application process whereby a soft thread is inserted beneath the skin. This can be slightly uncomfortable, which is why our clinic near Gerrards Cross will ensure a suitable method of anaesthesia is applied beforehand. This will be discussed during your consultation.
Bruising, swelling, redness and very slight bleeding are normal side effects of the thread lift procedure. In less common cases where a patient reacts to the soft thread, some dimpling of the skin may occur, or the threads may alter their position under the skin. Rarely, a patient will develop an infection, headaches or a fever. We have an excellent success rate at Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic, however, if you are at all concerned, please do contact us in Chalfont St Peter.
The threads from the thread lift will settle into place more effectively if the treated area is left alone for the first 12 – 24 hours, however, you should still be able to continue with your day as normal. At Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic in Chalfont St Peter, we advise you not to apply make-up to your face, and to be very gentle when washing. In some cases it is also advised to try and avoid sleeping on your side for a few nights.
A Thread Lift at the Dr Grace Kelly Chalfont St Peter clinic involves inserting threads, made from polydioxanone (PDO), under the skin to help to lift areas of lax skin and stimulate collagen production. This material is absorbable and has been used in surgery for over 30 years. It disappears completely over a year having first created a small amount of new collagen.
