Threadlift

A threadlift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin on the face and neck. It involves inserting dissolvable threads underneath the skin, which are then pulled to lift and tighten the skin.

Here are some general criteria that can help determine if you are a good candidate for the threadlift:

1. started to experience mild to moderate signs of aging, such as jowls, or laughlines or saggy cheeks.
2. Skin condition: The procedure is suitable for individuals with healthy skin that has not been significantly damaged by sun exposure, smoking, or other factors
3. Skin laxity: The procedure is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, but not for those with significant skin sagging or excess skin.
4. Expectations: The procedure is suitable for individuals who have realistic expectations about the results and understand that the effects are not permanent.
5. Medical history: The procedure may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain medications. It is important to discuss your medical history with us before the procedure.

Here is a brief guide for those who have been recommended a threadlift:

1. Consultation: We will evaluate your skin condition and determine if the Definisse threadlift is a suitable treatment for you.
2. Pre-procedure: Before the procedure, you may need to avoid certain medications and supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. You may also need to avoid alcohol and smoking for a few days before the procedure.
3. Procedure: The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. The practitioner will insert the threads using a small needle, and then gently pull them to lift and tighten the skin.
4. Post-procedure: You may experience some mild swelling and bruising after the procedure, but this should subside within a few days. You should avoid touching or rubbing the treated area, and avoid strenuous exercise for at least a week.
5. Results: The results of Definisse threadlift can be seen immediately and can last up to 18-24 months, depending on the individual. The threads will dissolve over time, but the collagen that is stimulated by the threads will continue to provide lifting and tightening effects.
6. Follow-up: You may need to schedule a follow-up appointment with your practitioner to monitor your progress and determine if any further treatment is needed.

It’s important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner for a threadlift, and to have realistic expectations about the results. You should also discuss any concerns or questions with your practitioner before the procedure.
