THE ART OF FACIAL THREAD LIFTS

WITH TWEAKMENT REQUESTS ON THE RISE THREAD LIFTS CAN HELP TO ENHANCE AND LIFT THE FACE. HERE’S HOW.

If overblown lips and chipmunk cheeks spring to mind when you think of facial rejuvenation, it’s time to look at Thread lifts. Cosmetech Clinics are focused on creating subtle results using Thread lifts making them the perfect choice for those looking for a natural look.

“This approach has become increasing popular within the practice“ says Mr Smith, Senior Consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon at

Cosmetech Clinics. Rather than plumping up the face with dermal fillers the aim is to add definition with Threads and then to restore lost volume if required. Of course this requires an expert eye and advanced knowledge of the anatomy of the face, the Thread lifts are tailored to each individual to achieve the best results.

Mr Smith says that jawline contouring, tear trough rejuvenation and lip enhancements are the three types of most requested procedures by his patients, he emphasises that a good practitioner should always encourage an assessment of the whole face before preparing a treatment plan to rejuvenate the face. Product selection is also key, he adds. In his clinics he favours a combination of Passive and Active Threads to create the best results.Threads can be used for a number of Cosmetic purposes from contouring the jawline to lifting the brows and defining the shape of the lips. It can also be used

to tighten the skin under the eyes. One of Cosmetechs most innovative offerings is the Active Cog Lift which uses Active Threads to lift and reposition sagging skin to reshape the face. This is a great procedure for patients who don’t have the downtime for a surgical face-lift.

Cosmetech are leaders in their field pioneering a new approach to facial rejuvenation at their Holywood, London and Sligo Clinics. Our Consultant Surgeons and Doctors also work within the NHS.
