Thread Lifting
- A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that is an alternative to facelift surgery. Thread lifts claim to tighten your skin by inserting medical grade thread material into your face and then pulling your skin up by tightening the thread. This has effect of pulling the skin back slightly and therefore lifting and tightening the face. In addition to being ideal for lifting the skin, threads combat aging in another way by stimulating the body’s healing response and causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas. This is important because of the vital role collagen plays in the aging process.
- Collagen helps support growth factors that greatly influences the condition of our skin. In addition to being used for wound healing, collagen helps to keep our skin strong, voluminous and supple. As we get older, our bodies gradually produce less and less collagen. This loss of volume and strength is a large factor in the creation of excess skin and wrinkles. As the skin grows weaker, it’s no longer able to support the tissues beneath it adequately, meaning that gravity pulls it downwards and stretches it.
