Thread Lift
Collagen and elastin are the vital proteins that make up the supporting structure of the skin and keep it looking firm and youthful. However, as you age, it takes a longer time for your body to produce them, which contributes to sagging skin and wrinkles. Heavy nasolabial folds, deepened smile lines, jowls, sunken cheeks - all these features can make you appear older and more tired. Prevention is the best way to maintain your skin's firmness and elasticity, and what better way to do this than with Thread Lift. Thread Lift is a type of procedure where temporary sutures are used to produce a subtle but visible "lift" in the skin. Instead of removing the patient's loose skin surgically, the doctor simply suspends it by stitching up portions of the area (face, neck, abdomen, and buttocks). Thread lift has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly, lifting and tightening the area. In addition to being ideal for lifting the skin, threads combat aging in another way: by provoking the body's "healing response" and causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas.
