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.

Questions people ask

Can you feel the threads afterwards?
For the first week or two you may feel tightness or the odd pull when you move. That settles as the threads soften and the swelling goes.
Will it look pulled?
It should not. A thread lift repositions tissue a short distance. If someone promises a dramatic change from threads, be careful.
Do I need filler as well?
Often yes, because a face that has dropped has usually also emptied. We assess both and tell you which is doing more of the damage.
