Thread Lift
V SOFT LIFT is an innovative procedure to rejuvenate and regenerate the skin. It is a minimally invasive procedure using absorbable PDO (monofilament polydioxanone) threads, a medical grade thread used for suturing for over 20 years. The thread is of potent synthetic fibre and dissolves after a certain time in the tissue.
FAQs
Thread lifting addresses some problems associated with facial ageing that are only otherwise dealt with by invasive surgery, in particular sagging aspects of the low face, neck and jaw line. It offers anti-ageing solutions for those not wishing to undergo surgery. Although the results cannot be compared to surgery, the treatment is more affordable and tolerable. The treatment can be combined with other treatments, such as fillers, and can be performed over a period of time rather than all at once.
Parts or whole of the face can be treated in order to achieve lift, replenishment and revitalisation. The cheeks, jawline, mouth corners, eyebrows, frown and neck all respond well to the treatment.
Many thin threads attached to needles are inserted into the dermis in a meshwork pattern, feeling somewhat like a filler treatment. The threads are placed at specific sites for the desired lift and the needles removed. The threads provide lift and reproduces youthful facial features including thicker skin. The treatment is performed with a local anaesthetic similar to that used for minor surgery.
The effect lasts one to two years, depending on age, lifestyle and skin condition. Results generally last longer in people who take care of their skin and general health by avoiding the sun, attention to a healthy diet and not smoking.
You should notice several immediate positive effects, such as lift and repositioning of the tissues. After four weeks you will appreciate an improved, smoother and fuller complexion with restoration of the youthful balance of the face.
Swelling and possible bruising may occur with treatment.
