Thread Lift
As a person gets older, the skin is subjected to certain changes in its appearance and feel. Over time, the skin loses its building blocks i.e. collagen and elastin which causes sagging and wrinkles. The underlying cartilages also get weaker with age and they are not able to hold the skin around it up very well. To delay the aging and deal with the mild to moderate skin laxity, one of the cosmetic treatment options is a thread lift. This is a very good option for those people who fear going under the knife and are looking for an economical anti-aging treatment.
Thread Lift, the best-anti aging treatment in Bangalore is available at DNA Skin Clinic led by Dr. Priyanka Reddy (a renowned dermatologist). With this treatment one can achieve a youthful and tighter appearance of the face immediately without any downtime.
What is a thread lift?
Thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that aims to provide a subtle, visible lift to the skin by placing medical-grade absorbable sutures (i.e. fine thread and filaments) underneath the skin. It stitches up the skin to give it taut and a youthful appearance that most people long for. The treatment is safe, quick, and much more budget-friendly as compared to a surgical lift.

The insertion of barbed thread also triggers the natural healing response of the body. Upon detection of suture material, there is a boost in the collagen production in the targeted area. Collagen helps in making the skin firm, smooth, plump, and elastic, therefore restoring a youthful appearance for a significant long period of time.
Areas that can be targeted with Thread Lift
A thread lift is mostly performed on mild to moderate sagging areas of the face such as:
Other than these, it can even be performed to tighten loose skin of the neck, arms, buttocks, inner thighs, knees, tummy, and even the bust area (especially after weight loss or pregnancy).
The procedure of Thread Lift
A thread lift treatment is usually carried out under local anesthesia (i.e. while the patient stays awake and able to talk), taking about an hour to complete. However, the longevity of the procedure may vary among the patients depending upon the method used for insertion of the threads, the size of the area being treated, and the severity of the condition being addressed. The procedure is performed by a licensed practitioner in his/her office. It may be slightly different for every patient because of their preferences and the area that is being targeted. The basic technique is usually the same and as follows:

The full desired result i.e. a natural-looking, youthful skin due to collagen remodeling can be noticed only after a few months.
