This stimulates the body to create new collagen and elastin adding volume and improving overall skin thickness, tone and firmness. This can reduce appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and creepiness. In addition, treatments to the décolletage can help reduce pigmentation caused by sun damage.

 

Collagen Biostimulators have long lasting effects up to two years once the desired baseline is achieved. 1-3 treatments may be required to achieve the desired result.

    The risk of causing blindness from undergoing a nose thread lift treatment is almost non-existent – unlike dermal filler treatment. Dermal fillers have been used to perform nose augmentation for many years.

Results of nose thread lift are impressive and there is virtually no risk of blindness.

    Nose Threads is a well-tolerated procedure, most men and women in their 20s to 60s or even beyond may be suited to a thread lift.

  • How Many Sessions Are Needed to See Result?
    One treatment is enough to see visible result. With the correct type of threads used and correct placement of the threads, you should be able to see good result after one treatment. The threads will remain in the nose for 6 months. When they dissolve, the nose will remain in its lifted position for another 8 to 12 months because of the stimulation of collagen from the threads. If repeated regularly, you may see result lasting for up to 24 months or even longer, depending on individual.

  • What is a Nose Thread lift?
    Also known as a ‘lunchtime nose job’, the nose thread lift is a treatment that can be completed in under 60 minutes. Because of the minimal downtime, patients can resume their daily activities immediately after. Threads are inserted gently into the soft tissue of the areas to be lifted and a local anaesthetic is used to calm the area and ensure a comfortable experience. The absorbable threads dissolve within 18-24 months, but before they dissolve they create a support scaffolding of collagen for the skin that supports and lifts the skin for many years to come.
