Thread Lift

When looking at yourself in the mirror do you instantly notice problem areas around your lower face, neck, and chin? Has your skin started to sag and lost the firmness it once had? You may already be researching medical procedures that can target these problem areas. After all, it’s better to get ahead of the situation than to let it drag on and become worse over time. A traditional facelift may be something you’re considering, but before you pick up the phone and contact a board-certified plastic surgeon, know there are other options available to you. One, in particular, that may be of interest, is a thread lift in Charlotte.

Of course, before you fully invest yourself in any procedure, such as a thread lift in Charlotte, it’s best you have a clear understanding of exactly what all it entails and what you should expect.

This is an extremely minimal procedure. The specially designed threads are inserted and secured in the targeted treatment area. The slight trauma caused by this will result in a natural increase of collagen production by your skin. Due to the slight trauma the skin experiences, you may see some redness, minor swelling or bruising, all normal responses, and will go away shortly. You can go about your day as soon as you leave our practice — no downtime!

Following the thread lift, you’ll want to avoid rubbing and scratching at the area. It may feel a bit weird at first as the skin will be tighter than what you’re accustomed to, but after a few days, it will all feel normal. You will also want to avoid any heavy sweating, at least for a day or so. You’re not going to break any threads or cause problems. It’s just the sweating might cause some subtle irritation at first, but that will go away after a short period, and you can go back to the gym and any other activities you enjoy following the thread facelift.
