Thread Lift Canberra

As we age, the skin slowly starts to lose its youthful appearance. In particular, a loss of collagen and elastin production leaves behind more obvious signs of age. If you are hoping to maintain a youthful complexion for as long as possible, it is essential to address those early signs, such as fine lines and sagging skin, before they get worse. Previously, the only way to reverse severe facial skin sagging was via facelift surgery. At Cosmos Aesthetics Canberra, we now offer thread lifts. This innovative, minimally invasive treatment bridges the gap between cosmetic injectables and invasive surgery.

    Am I a suitable thread lift candidate?

    Facial threads are a great option for patients who have started to notice the signs of age and want to prevent them from getting worse. If you wish to tighten and lift loose skin on the face and neck, the chances are good that you are a candidate for a thread lift. The typical thread facelift patient is usually between their mid-thirties to early fifties, although many are younger or older than this.

    How should I prepare for my thread lift?

    There are a number of things you can do to prepare for your thread facelift. Most importantly, you will need to avoid any blood thinners for about a week beforehand, including alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, omega-3 supplements, and vitamin E. You must also stop smoking for a week before treatment, as this can dehydrate the skin and increase anaesthesia-related risks. Your cosmetic practitioner will give you more before treatment care instructions during your consultation.

    Do thread lifts have any side effects?

    Considering that facial threading is a minimally invasive procedure, it is relatively low risk. However, just like any other medical procedure, patients may experience some temporary side effects, including swelling, redness, and bruising. This usually all subsides within a few days.

    In some cases, you may develop an infection in the treatment area, which may require a course of antibiotics to treat. Some patients also lose sensation in the treated area, although any numbness should resolve in a matter of weeks.

    It is also possible for the threads to become visible beneath the skin; however, this usually only occurs in patients with thin skin. This is a rarer complication that can be easily prevented by choosing an experienced cosmetic practitioner. In some very rare cases, the threads may shift from their original placement. This can cause an unbalanced facial appearance and dimpling, which can be addressed by inserting new threads.

    Am I better suited to a facelift or thread lift?

    Thread lifts are often described as a minimally invasive alternative to the surgical facelift. While both of these treatments aim to lift and tighten sagging skin, the methods vary greatly. Some patients are better suited to one treatment over the other.

    Facelift:

    • Is an invasive surgical procedure performed under general anaesthesia
    • Aims to provide noticeable changes in appearance, with varying results depending on individual factors
    • Is associated with a long list of risks and a lengthy recovery of up to six weeks
    • Can be an expensive procedure, sometimes costing up to $20,000

    Thread lift:

    • Is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anaesthesia
    • Provides subtle results that last for up to three years
    • Requires absolutely no downtime and is considered far less risky
    • Is a much more inexpensive option, starting from $1,750 at Cosmos Aesthetics Canberra

    The right procedure for you will depend on the degree of skin ageing and your desired cosmetic outcome. During a consultation at Cosmos Aesthetics, one of our experienced doctors will examine your facial features and recommend which procedure may best suit your needs.
