Thread Lift
This is the ultimate treatment for tightening up the jawline and neck as this is a physical lift without the knife. We all look in the mirror and pull our skin back, thinking if only it would stay there. Well this is where a Thread Lift comes in. Threads are placed under the skin and when retracted cause the skin to lift and be anchored in position. They are similar to a long suture which has hundreds of small knots on it which is how they hold the skin in the lifted position.
At Persona we use Spring threads, made of a revolutionary new material giving much better, longer lasting results. Many top London clinics & Medical Aesthetic Doctors are now using these new threads due to their excellent safety profile, great lifting and tightening capacity and long lasting results. They are aptly named “spring” because they are elastic so can easily stretch and contract with facial movements therefore reducing the risk of breakage and creating a very effective yet natural enhancement.
What is a Thread Lift?
Thread lift is a cosmetic procedure that offers a minimally invasive alternative to facelift surgery. It tightens your skin by inserting medical-grade thread material into your face, “pulling” your skin up by tightening the thread.
Also called a barbed suture lift, it aims to lift and sculpt the shape of your face. Thread lifts use temporary, medical-grade suture material to “stitch-up” your skin so that it’s drawn taut.
Treatments have been around since the 1990’s, but innovations in the material used for thread lifts have led to an increase in popularity in recent years.
The typical candidate for this treatment is in their late 30s to early 60s. A person who is generally in good health and is just starting to notice the signs of ageing may benefit the most from the subtle impact of a thread lift.
Those who can’t have a surgical facelift because of medical conditions that make general anaesthesia risky may consider a thread lift as a safer alternative.
How does a it work?
The thread lift procedure is fairly straightforward; we thread thin, dissolvable sutures underneath your skin, and are then able to pull your skin tight around your forehead, lower face, jowls, neck, or brows (Fox Eye Lift)
Invisible, painless “barbs” grab on to your skin and make sure that the thread grips your underlying tissue and muscles as the thread is pulled tight.
Once a barbed thread is inserted, your body’s healing response is triggered. Even though you’re not injured by the threads under your skin, your body detects a suture material and stimulates collagen production in the affected area. Collagen can fill gaps in sagging skin and restore a more youthful elasticity to your face.
Targeted areas for a thread lift
Many people choose a thread lift for facial areas that “sag” or look less tight over time. These areas include:
- jowls and jawline
- brow line
- under-eye area
- forehead
- cheeks
- neck
