Non-surgical threads deliver a natural, safe, and effective facelift, without the risks and downtime associated with surgery. This discreet and subtle option is best suited for those wanting to lift their face and/or get rid of their double chin.
Our dermatologists are highly experienced at the procedure, which they can customize with other treatments to achieve the exact effect her patient is after.
In addition to lifting, the technique offers long-term skin rejuvenation and vibrancy, thanks to its collagen-boosting properties. It is a simple procedure, requiring a local anesthetic, and can last from 30 to 90 minutes. Expect mild to moderate swelling, while recovery time is, on average, three to seven days.
This is an ideal procedure for patients who, when visualizing the result they want, look in the mirror while pulling up the skin on the sides of their face and lifting their chin. The threads, which come in different lengths, are pulled up to create the lift and can be successfully combined with fillers, Botox, and other treatments.
The results last more than two years – although the collagen boost continues even after the threads have been safely reabsorbed by the body – and there is also the option of top-ups.
We believe we can offer the best non-surgical face-lift and double-chin lift in Dubai and the UAE. If you would like to make an appointment with one of our experienced dermatologists, simply fill in your details on the appointment form and we will get back to you shortly
Gravity weighs down on everybody, and over time, facial features tend to droop and sag. This is because the skin’s underlying support framework is steadily depleted as collagen production winds down, facial fat decreases, and muscle tone slackens. Fine lines set in, followed by wrinkles and folds. However, the most fundamental change shows up on the lower part of the face which loses the firm contour of youth and begins to appear more rectangular.
Until recently, the only way to reverse the saggy look has been the traditional surgical facelift. An invasive process which, in simplified terms, involves making cuts at strategic corners to physically pull back the skin and wrap it more snugly over the facial bone structure. This procedure involved general anesthesia and a considerable amount of downtime.
To reverse signs of aging actively, the Facelift with Threads procedure targets the tissues that cause drooping and sagging facial features. Absorbable, single-strand medical sutures made from Polydioxanone (PDO), are inserted into the hypodermis layer of skin, wherever a gentle supportive lift is desired. The carefully configured thread system lifts facial tissue, keeps it suspended in place, and improves microcirculation. An interesting phenomenon now begins to take place.
The threads not only lift the face but also stimulate collagen synthesis around the areas of insertion, by activating the body’s healing mechanism. In a sense, turning back the clock on aging-related collagen depletion. While about it, they also induce lipolysis or fat cell death, which helps dissolve chin fat when used to lift sagging chins.
The beauty of the Thread Facelift approach is that it can micro-target specific areas, to redefine facial features with an unprecedented degree of control and finesse. The procedure leaves no traces as the pin-point incisions and the sutures are invisible.
