Not all people want or need invasive surgical options to establish an elevated, refreshed look. For patients living in Warner Robins, GA and the surrounding areas who may be intent on tightening drooping skin without getting an invasive procedure, a thread lift could be a great treatment that can yield various benefits, like:

• A procedure that is minimally invasive yet still effective
• Collagen growth provides glowing results that are long-lasting
• Effects that are longer-lasting than comparable noninvasive rejuvenation options, including injectables
• Confidence in your new youthful outcomes

Silhouette InstaLift is the only thread procedure of its kind to use Micro-Suspension Technology™ for immediate and long-lasting results. Additionally, it is the only absorbable suture that is FDA-cleared for cosmetic facial treatments. This makes it an ideal treatment for those who are sick of dermal fillers but aren’t ready for or candidates for a surgical facelift. InstaLift lifts and tightens the mid-face while also supplementing volume that may last up to two years.

Ideal candidates for thread lifting are typically those aged 35 and 65 who are looking to:

• Get tighter skin without getting major surgery.
• Catalyze collagen growth in the upper layers of skin.
• Firm any level of sagging or wrinkles on the face and/or neck.
• Address visible signs of aging, like deep creases around the mouth nasal area, sagging in the lower face, skin folds, and smoker’s lines.
• Observe longer-lasting outcomes when compared to cosmetic injections.

As part of a consultation in Warner Robins, GA, our team will discuss whether a thread lifting treatment might suit your needs.

At Ageless Aesthetics, thread lifts can be used in a variety of ways. Twist threads are often used to add volume (similar to fillers), lift threads are used to lift the face, and smooth threads are used to address lines and wrinkles. During a one-on-one consultation, Dr. Umerah will work with you to decide which threads will help you reach your goals.

At your appointment, we’ll have you relax in one of our private treatment rooms while we perform your thread lift using local anesthesia to help you remain comfortable. We’ll start by marking the places on your face where the threads will enter and exit, then we’ll use a needle to insert the threads, and finally, we will gently pull the threads to create the lifted look.

You may have some soreness and redness after your appointment, which could take a week or two to heal. If you received the lift threads, you’ll likely notice results immediately; however, it can take between 2 – 3 months to fully notice the results from the smooth or twisted threads. You’ll notice smoother, refreshed, and youthful-looking skin for a year or longer.

No, most patients do not find a thread lift procedure painful or uncomfortable. Before she begins, Dr. Umerah will completely numb the treatment area with a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. After a thread lift, some patients may experience mild soreness, redness, and swelling, but this typically subsides in 7 – 14 days.

While a thread lift can have side effects like skin texture changes, stiffness, or irritation, these are typically rare. The FDA approved both the Silhouette Instalift and PDO thread lift as safe and effective treatments.

Thread lifts are quick and easy, often able to be completed in under an hour.

Some patients can see results almost immediately after their treatment. However, on average, most patients will see increasingly noticeable improvements over 2 – 3 months until optimal results are achieved.

How long your results of a thread lift last depend on a variety of factors, including skin condition, age, health, and lifestyle. Generally, the results of a thread lift can last about 12 – 18 months before a maintenance procedure may be recommended.

Thread lifts are minimally invasive procedures that provide long-lasting results. At Ageless Aesthetics, board-certified aesthetic physician Dr. Anayo Umerah performs thread lifts to reduce signs of aging, like lines and wrinkles, lost volume, and sagging skin.
