Face Lift

The thread lift facial procedure is a type of procedure where a cosmetic surgeon uses temporary sutures to create a subtle and a recognizable lift in the skin. With this procedure, the surgeon does not remove the patient’s loose facial skin but merely suspends it by stitching up some of its portions.

This technique generally pulls the skin back slightly thereby lifting and tightening the face. It also triggers the body to direct large surges of collagen to the treated region.

Collagen in Thread Lifts. 

The skin is the largest organ on the human body and it is made up of a factor called collagen. Collagen has many importances which include; supporting the growth factors, helps in keeping a youthful appearance, aids in the wound healing process, keeps the skin firm without sagging and so on. 

However, as we grow or get older, the body produces less collagen which makes an individual prone to wrinkles, sagging skin, scars among others. 

The thread lift procedure helps to reduce the aging signs and the looseness of the skin thereby strengthening it. 

THREAD LIFT PROCEDURES. 

For lifting the facial tissue, NovaThreads and Silhouette InstaLift threads are used. These are approved by the FDA and can be conducted in modern dermatologist clinics. 

The NovaThreads are sutures made from biocompatible material known as PDO designed to be safely reabsorbed by the body. The NovaThreads are available in different types and are excellent in collagen stimulation. 

The Silhouette InstaLift- This type of thread lift depends on the use of biocompatible temporary sutures to lift the face. The main purpose of this type of thread lift is to lift the face than to stimulate the collagen.
