However, you might not be comfortable about having to undergo surgery and the possible complications that comes with it. You may simply want that youthful appearance without the lengthy recovery time.
Fortunately, there’s a way for you to get the perks of a lift without the scalpels or the downtime. Read all about the Skin MD Thread Lift, a new and better approach to “face lifting”.
Skin MD Thread Lift Treatment: All Your Questions Answered
What is the Skin MD Thread Lift?
The Skin MD Thread Lift, also known as a non-surgical thread lift, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), a biodegradable polymer that your body can safely absorb.
These special threads are introduced into the deeper layers of the skin, anchoring it upwards and producing 3 effects:
Instant skin lift
Cellular renewal and improved skin texture
Skin tightening
What’s even better is that the Skin MD Thread Lift can target almost any part of the face! Try it out to reduce the appearance of:
Sagging cheeks, jowls, and undefined jawlines
Laugh lines
Laxity under the chin (double chin)
Naso-jugal folds and tear trough
Who are the Best Candidates for Skin MD Thread Lift?
Skin MD Thread Lift is ideal for individuals in their 20s to 50s who would like to correct skin creases, wrinkles, minimal sagging, and other early signs of aging.
However, do avoid this non-surgical thread lift treatment if you are:
Pregnant
Has present skin infections or inflammations
Diagnosed with autoimmune or blood-related diseases
Is currently taking anti-coagulant medicines
Is the Skin MD Thread Lift Painful?
Not at all! Your dermatologist will first apply local anesthesia for maximum comfort.
Patients who’ve tried out the Skin MD Thread Lift describe the sensation as surprisingly tolerable and less painful than pimple-pricking or cautery of warts. In addition, our dermatologists can help ensure a most comfortable experience for our patients.
How Does the Skin MD Thread Lift Work?
The Skin MD Thread Lift procedure triggers collagen regeneration deep in the skin, thanks to the absorbable PDO that make up the threads. As a result, patients will notice their skin becoming more youthful in the weeks following the procedure. The PDO threads also instantly lift the skin for a slimmer jawline without scarring and the long recovery time.
Why Should I Go for Skin MD Thread Lift?
The biggest advantage that the Skin MD Thread Lift has over a traditional facelift is its greatly reduced recovery time. Face lift patients may need to take one to two weeks off in order to heal. Also, since face lifts use general anesthesia, patients will also have to undergo a full operation in a hospital setting.
On the other hand, the Skin MD Thread Lift only requires topical and sometimes local anesthesia. Patients can move about independently immediately after their procedure, though they may still choose to take the rest of the day off. This makes Skin MD Thread Lifts perfect for those who have children at home or those who have busy careers.
How Much Does the Skin MD Thread Lift Cost?
The Skin MD Thread Lift is not as expensive as surgery and relatively affordable compared to other lifting modalities, such as the ultherapy and thermage, that are very popular these days. This non-surgical thread lift procedure requires original and high quality materials sourced from our reputable provider to achieve the best results in every patient.
Is the Skin MD Thread Lift Safe?
The answer is yes! For one, our highly trained board-certified Dermatologists will give you a proper assessment and perform the procedure themselves. The threads involved are inserted via needles and not surgery. These threads will also safely be absorbed into the skin within 6-8 months.
The procedure also has minimal downtime. It is natural to experience mild swelling and soreness for a few days after the procedure, as well as a light sensation of tightness for up to 2 weeks. Mild bruising of the skin may also occur, but it disappears within days.
The Skin MD Thread Lift requires in-depth anatomical knowledge! This is one procedure you’ll only want to undergo at the hands of a board-certified Dermatologist if you want to minimize any risks.
What Can I Expect from a Skin MD Thread Lift?
You’ll immediately notice that your skin is tighter and more youthful right after your Skin MD Thread Lift! There may be a little bit of swelling in the following days but when this goes away, you’ll look very natural and lifted. After another month or two, you’ll have firm and rejuvenated skin with smoother texture. However, the results can vary between patients. Your Dermatologist may also choose to focus on lifting certain problem areas that are unique per individual.
Do I Need to Undergo Multiple Skin MD Thread Lift Treatments to Achieve Best Results?
There’s really no need to undergo multiple Skin MD Thread Lift treatments! One treatment is enough to achieve substantial results in your appearance.
Does the Skin MD Thread Lift Treatment Come with Side Effects?
The Skin MD Thread Lift comes with relatively no side effects, thanks to how non-invasive the procedure is. Patients who want to undergo the treatment don’t need to worry about getting scars, bruises, and other major complications.
However, in extremely rare cases, they may experience irritation and infection. Still, it’s easy to fix and reverse the problems since the Skin MD Thread Lift treatment is a non-surgical procedure.
How Long Does Skin MD Thread Lift Treatment Last?
Since the Skin MD Thread Lift treatment involves the injection of PDO threads, they can easily be absorbed by the skin and slowly dissolve as time passes. Due to this, Skin MD Thread Lift generally lasts for one to three years only.
Fortunately, patients who like the results of the Skin MD Thread Lift can opt to undergo the same treatment again because it’s a non-invasive and low-risk procedure.
