Smash your pumpkins and toss your costumes — holiday season has officially arrived! Our favourite festive time of the season has arrived.

Christmas is all about Love, Family and of course reflecting on the past year, our successes, failures and lessons. It is also a time to appreciated what you have and be grateful for your health, happiness and family as well as generously giving out your love in the form of gifts and more.

So how about, you also treat yourself this Xmas. Taking time out for yourself – especially at Xmas – might seem like a far fetched idea but you truly deserve to sit back, relax and learn how to truly treat yourself this Christmas..and we have the perfect gift for you.

As we get older, our skin gets saggy and loses its elasticity. This causes wrinkles, creases and folds of skin to appear. This might all sound scary or simply perhaps something that you could not imagine changing but none of the 2 is true. A thread lift (also known as a non surgical facelift) is a minimally-invasive treatment that lifts sagging areas of the face without the need for sedation or an overnight stay. It’s performed under local Anaesthetic and takes as little as 30 minutes, with patients able to walk-out and return home a short while after.

How Does it Work?

The Thread Lift (suture facelift) is a revolutionary treatment  to tackle sagging skin or lines and wrinkles. Without the use of any incisions or surgery, anchoring sutures are placed under the skin using a fine needle to elevate the sagging tissue and lift problem areas. The treatment can take as little as 30 minutes under local Anaesthetic and requires no hospital stay afterwards.

The sutures used in the treatment are completely bio-degradable, meaning they will not need to be removed. Their principle component, polylactic acid, encourages the body’s production of collagen, meaning your skin will appear naturally fuller over time, even after the sutures have dissolved.

HOW DOES IT FEEL

Topical and/or local anesthetic will be used to numb the area. A small needle will be used to create a porthole for the cannula to deliver the threads. This sensation is similar to the feeling of Botox or dermal filler injections. Some possible swelling and bruising may occur but most patients report minimal discomfort both during and after the treatment.

WHAT ARE THREADS

Threads are naturally absorbable sutures inserted into the face, neck, and body. These threads are used to smooth, volumize and tighten problem areas for a more supple, youthful appearance. Our practitioners use a variety of thread lengths and sizes to treat more precisely for best results.

WHAT KIND OF RESULTS AND DOWNTIME CAN I EXPECT?

This scalpel-free procedure is a perfect solution for anyone seeking an instant smoothing and contouring lift. Thread lift patients see firmer, rejuvenated skin that gradually improves, thanks to its collagen boosting effects, and can last as long as 18 months. Unlike a traditional facelift, the thread lift doesn’t utilise incisions or any manipulation of the deep tissue, meaning far less downtime for patients. Some patients may see post-operative swelling and/or bruising for 1-2 days. Our highly-trained providers are happy to answer any questions you may have about the procedure itself and the results you can personally expect.
