Threads in Islamabad and Batkhela
Threads lift skin that has loosened. They are absorbable, so nothing stays in your face permanently.
What it actually is
Fine threads are placed under the skin and used to lift tissue that has dropped. The body absorbs them over several months, and the collagen laid down around them is what holds the result after the threads themselves have gone.
It suits the early stage of sagging, where the jawline has softened and the cheeks have come down a little but the skin still has some spring in it.
The practical details
- How long it takes
- About an hour.
- Recovery
- Swelling and tightness for several days, sometimes longer.
- When you see it
- Immediately, then it improves for weeks.
- How long it lasts
- Usually around a year to eighteen months.
What it helps with
- A softening jawline
- Cheeks that have dropped
- The neck, in the early stages
- Brows that sit low
What it will not do
Threads are not a facelift and they do not do what surgery does. If the skin has slackened a great deal, threads will pull it rather than lift it, and the result looks tight rather than younger. We will tell you if you are past the point where they help.
Being honest with you
This is the treatment where honest assessment matters most. Threads in the right face look excellent. Threads in a face that needed volume, or in a face too far gone for them, look strange. We would rather send you away than take your money for the wrong thing.
