If you’re battling with skin that’s struggling to keep it’s laxity, a traditional facelift isn’t your only option. To restructure sagging skin, a thread uplift offers the results of a classic facelift but without the painful and expensive surgery. Dr Julia Servi and her team use specialist Silhouette Soft dissolvable threads to physically lift tissue and sculpt your facial contours, resulting in a subtle, youthful, and beautiful appearance.
Thread uplifting uses fine, dissolvable threads weaved through tiny holes in the skin to tighten and give a more toned, lifted, voluminous appearance. The procedure can take up to one hour, but the time will be spent in comfort due to our handpicked combination of anaesthetic treatments at the local areas.
The procedure is commonly carried out to lift and sculpt sagging cheeks and jowls and to restructure the brows, but can also be used across the body to refine the arms, stomach, inner thigh and knee areas due to its long-standing safety profile.
While the results of thread uplifting will be visible immediately, it’s vital to note that the treatment actually stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen – meaning the long-lasting results are completely natural, and absolutely pain-free. After three months, the final results will be visible and the threads will have dissolved, leaving you with a new, glowing structural support in place. The results will last up to 18 months, but the treatment can also be used preventatively to support your skin’s natural anti-aging defenses before wrinkles and sagging even occur. In these cases, the results may last much longer.
