What Is A Contour ThreadLift™?
A Contour ThreadLift™ is a minimally invasive, safe and effective
non-surgical procedure that offers subtle, natural-looking facelift-like results.
How Is It Performed?
A Contour Threadlift™ utilizes FDA Approved tiny surgical sutures to lift
and support the droopy areas of the brow, cheeks, face and neck. Contour Threads™ have tiny, teeth-like (barb-like) cogs that will grasp on to and lift the
soft tissues. The threads are inserted in precise locations using a long
needle, and once inserted under the skin, they open in an umbrella like fashion
to form a support structure that gently lifts and repositions the tissues
into a more vertical and youthful position. With the lift effect secured, the
needle is removed, the end of the thread is cut and knotted, allowing it to
retract deep under the skin where it cannot be felt or seen. The non-absorbable
threads stay within the deep tissues and provide support.
What Do The Threads Look Like?
Unlike other thread products, Contour Threads™ are clear so they are not
visible under fair or thin skin.
How Do They Work?
Due to the unique design of the cogs of Contour Threads™, the surrounding
tissues act to hold the threads in place without the need for visible scars.
The physician makes a tiny incision behind the hairline and the threads are
advanced along the previously marked contours so they create a firm hold on the
underlying tissues without causing additional trauma. The cogs do the work
of holding, by being fixated to tissue as they are softly contoured into
place. Once in position, your body generates new collagen bundles that surround
each thread to maintain the lifting effect.
