Contour ThreadLift
The Contour ThreadLift™ is a non-surgical facelift procedure for
individuals with aging signs of the face, including laxity and droopiness of
the skin of the brow, cheeks, jowls and neck.
The
ThreadLift™ is a non-invasive office procedure performed for youthful vitality
to the face. The ThreadLift™ works by having tiny threads inserted painlessly
under the skin of the droopy portions of the brow, cheek, jowl or neck. Using
local freezing, the threads (called contour sutures) are passed into the droopy
facial element with a special Guide needle. The Threads are able to grab on to
the droopy soft-tissue of the brow, cheek, jowl and
neck.
The ThreadLift™ is done without a knife, scars or significant recovery.
Most patients experience minimal bruising or swelling. The ThreadLift™ is not
painful and most patients can return to normal activities with makeup the next
day. The threads stay where they are inserted and, like all internal
sutures, are generally well tolerated by the body.
The ThreadLift™ shows immediate lift effects of the brow, cheeks and neck. Well
over 90% of ThreadLift™ patients report satisfying lift results. The
ThreadLift™ lift lasts several years and can be repeated. Many ThreadLift™
patients combine the skin and droopy fat-skin tightening effects of the
ThreadLift™ with FotoFacial RF™ or WrinklEase RF to improve the skin quality,
color, tone, pore and fine lines. Under local anesthetic that is designed to
elevate, reposition and lift lax skin of the brow, face and neck without
surgery
Contour BrowLift
Using the technique of ThreadLift, brows can also be selectively lifted. This
is effective for patient noting early signs of laxity and droopiness around the
eyes. The procedure is done without a knife and recovery is fast with little
down time. Botox is usually administered before the procedure to enhance the
results of the BrowLift. Patients may also choose to use Restylane to fill
deeper lines on the forehead and around the eyes.
Contour JowlLift
The technique of Threadlift is also used in the JowlLift. This is effective for
patient noting early signs of laxity and droopiness in the jowls bilaterally.
The procedure is done without a knife and recovery is fast with little down
time. Restylane can also be used to fill in areas to the jowls and around the
mouth to enhance the procedure. Fine wrinkles around the mouth can also be
treated in conjunction with the JowlLift, using lasers and the procedure of
WrinkleEase.
VolumaLift
The VolumaLift™ is a
procedure that is designed to bring back youthful beauty, vitality and
attractiveness through the volumetric replacement of soft tissue that has been
lost with age. The VolumaLift™ is a volumetric facelift, restoring "the
fullness of youth" safely, effectively and non-surgically. As the name
itself implies, the VolumaLift™ produces a "rested" and
"lifted" look. Your VolumaLift™ physician or health care professional
will take an injectable gel product (Restylane®), and inject specific
amounts of the product into the specific fat buttress regions, restoring the 3
dimensional structure to the soft tissue envelope, plumping out, filling and
lifting the overlying facial skin and restoring the attractive "fullness
of youth." Once you've finished your consultation and you and your
physician or health care professional feel you are a VolumaLift™ candidate, the
actual injectable facelift and volumization takes less than one hour to
perform. The VolumaLift™ is not very painful. The skin is frozen with local
anesthesia prior to the procedure and the needles are passed through only the
frozen skin. The injectable gel used during a VolumaLift™ is deposited very
deeply along the facial bones, where there are very few pain fibers.
