The beauty industry has evolved in leaps and bounds not only on the Gold Coast but also almost elsewhere in the world. With the proliferation of beauty aids and technologies on the Gold Coast today, the thread lift Gold Coast procedure seems to be just one among the many.
But, is it?
For the uninitiated, what, exactly, is the thread lift Gold Coast procedure?
The Thread Lift Gold Coast Procedure
Considered minimally invasive, the thread lift procedure is a welcome replacement for having a facelift.
The “pull” caused by the insertion of the threads causes the lifting of the face or other areas of the body. Thread lifts are not new to the beauty industry when it was discovered during the 1990s.
The recent interest in the procedure is because of the latest material innovation used in threading. People in their late 30s or early 50s are considered the best candidates for the threading procedure.
The imperceptible impact of threading makes it the best anti-ageing alternative for people starting to notice slight ageing signs. Doing away with using general anaesthesia makes threading a safer beauty route for people having medical concerns.
What makes Thread Lift Work?
The dissolvable and thin thread sutures done by the doctor under the skin allow the skin to be pulled tight. This procedure could be done on any part of the body, neck, and forehead.
The medical-grade thread containing painless and invisible barbs provides a gripping action to the muscles and underlying tissues of your body. Once this happens, the healing response occurs as the body notes the presence of a suture material.
The detection towards the suture material increases collagen response even when no injury was caused by the threads under the skin. Sagging skin becomes more elastic and youthful with the increased collagen production caused by the thread sutures.
This youthful rejuvenation can last for a year after which a second thread lift procedure has to be done. The second thread lift procedure after a year will make the youthful skin elasticity last for 3 years or more.
How is a Thread Lift Done?
The area chosen and the preferences of the doctor are the varying differences when undergoing a thread lift procedure.
However, whatever, the decision would be, the thread lift procedure includes:
- Having the patient recline in the room during the performance of the procedure. Prepping the skin for surgery requires the use of a topical anaesthetic and alcohol.
- A thin needle or cannula enables the insertion of the threads. Thread insertion can take 30 to 45 minutes to do.
- The cannula or needle used for insertion will be removed as soon as the threads are inserted. Slight tightening or pressure under the skin will be felt by the patient during this time.
- The procedure is considered complete once the cannula or needles are taken out.
- The minimal invasive thread lift process allows the patient to either go back to work or go home after it is done.
