Juvederm® VS Restylane®: What are the Differences?

Posted on March 9, 2021 - 10:15 am by simononline

Both Juvederm® and Restylane® are types of dermal fillers available for patients at Manhattan Aesthetics. We give you a choice between these two, with each carrying unique properties. Nevertheless, both of these dermal fillers have similarities in the conditions they treat. Both are predominantly used to treat wrinkles, both are non-invasive, and both elicit fast-acting results. However, there are some differences between the two that are worth understanding before you choose your treatment.

*individual results may vary.

About Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are some of the most popular and mainstream cosmetic treatments around. They consist of injected solutions into the skin at various depths, filling fine lines and smoothing out wrinkles. Dermal fillers can also add more volume to your face, giving it a younger appearance. These injectables offer impressive results that can last for over a year before the body absorbs the solution. Hence, to maintain the results, multiple injections are required over time. You will find many types and brands of dermal fillers, including Juvederm® and Restylane®.

Differences Between Juvederm® and Restylane®

Juvederm® and Restylane® are both hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. They contain the same solution and are used to treat similar problems. So, how do they differ from one another?

Restylane® adds more volume.

A significant difference between the two dermal fillers is how they work when injected into your skin. Restylane® tends to have a higher viscosity than Juvederm®, meaning it is a thicker solution. Therefore, its application is often used when you want to add more volume and plumpness to your face – particularly the lips and cheeks.

Juvederm® is better for smoothing out wrinkles.

Unlike Restylane®, Juvederm® injections don’t tend to hold their form as strongly. Instead, the solution is more prone to spread out throughout your face, ironing away wrinkles and fine lines. Thus, Juvederm® is more effective at reversing these signs of aging and giving you smoother skin. While it can still add volume, it’s not as effective at filling in sunken areas.

There are multiple types of Juvederm® fillers.

At Manhattan Aesthetics, we have numerous types of Juvederm® fillers available. This menu of dermal fillers includes Juvederm® Voluma, Volbella, and Vollure. Each one is designed to treat a specific cosmetic complaint, offering excellent and long-lasting results. Restylane® doesn’t have the same diversity, which might be something you consider when choosing which filler to opt for. It mainly depends on your concerns, and we will help you find the dermal filler that provides the best solution.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

An overriding benefit of dermal fillers is that they provide near-instant effects lasting for a very long time. Both Restylane® and Juvederm® can last over a year before any touch-ups are required. Another advantage of dermal fillers is that you will not be injected with foreign substances or chemicals. They contain substances already present in the body, which means they get absorbed when the effects wear off.

Lastly, dermal fillers have the benefit of being minimally-invasive, with minimal downtime. Numbing cream is used to make you as comfortable as possible, and you can usually get on with your daily routine as soon as you leave.

What is Sculptra®?

Posted on February 25, 2021 - 8:19 am by simononline

Collagen is one of the most important proteins within the human body. It’s responsible for lots of things, but you may know it as the structural protein that forms connective tissue. In essence, collagen is what keeps your skin plump and tight, preventing it from sagging or wrinkling. As you get older, collagen production dwindles, which is why your skin starts to sag and no longer look as young as it used to.

The good news is, there are numerous treatments designed to help increase collagen production. One of these is called Sculptra®, and it’s a highly sought after treatment here at Manhattan Aesthetics.

*individual results may vary.

Sculptra® Explained

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved dermal filler that gets injected into the skin. It’s made up of poly-L-lactic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in your body. The purpose of Sculptra® is to help replace the lost collagen within your body, restoring the natural youthfulness of your skin. It will make your skin firmer and less saggy, getting rid of wrinkles, fine lines, and many other signs of aging.

How Does Sculptra® Work?

As explained above, Sculptra® contains a very important substance called poly-L-lactic acid. This is found within your body, and its main aim is to promote collagen production. By injection this into your body, you will naturally start to produce more collagen. Over time, this extra collagen production will lead to very impressive results. It quite literally helps your skin rewind time and appear younger once more.

How is Sculptra® Used?

Sculptra® is commonly used on your face to treat all of the common signs of aging. It’s extremely effective at dealing with deep lines and wrinkles, ironing out your skin. Many patients get it injected around their noses, mouth, chin, and at the temples.

However, Manhattan Aesthetics also offers a unique treatment called the Sculptra® Butt Lift. This is a non-surgical alternative to a traditional butt lift, injecting Sculptra® into the fatty tissue above the muscle in your buttocks. By doing this, the stimulation of collagen can tighten the skin and ‘lift’ your saggy butt. A lot of patients undergo this treatment as a natural way of improving their bum, and also to help treat skin texture problems – like cellulite.

Benefits of Sculptra®

The key benefit of Sculptra® is that it is proven to work. This is because it contains a substance that naturally occurs in the body and is chemically designed to increase collagen production. By making your body produce more collagen proteins in certain areas, you are going to see impressive results. Four treatments are typically needed before you see the best results, but they can last for up to 3 years!

Also, it’s a non-surgical procedure that doesn’t require any allergy testing. You can also return to regular activities straight away, with no downtime required.

Am I a Good Candidate for Sculptra®?

If you want to restore youthfulness to your skin and iron out wrinkles, Sculptra® is a fantastic treatment to consider. It’s also particularly good if you want non-surgical options to face or butt lifts.

How Can I Get Rid of Adult Acne?

Posted on February 15, 2021 - 8:18 am by simononline

Adult acne is a frustrating condition that causes lots of self-consciousness. Many teenagers develop acne while going through puberty, but the majority of you will see it fade away as you approach adulthood. So, when the pimples and redness continue to stick around, it makes you feel bad about your appearance. Thankfully, there are different ways of treating adult acne, which the team at Manhattan Aesthetics is more than happy to help you find.

*individual results may vary.

What Causes Adult Acne?

Adult acne is largely caused by the same things that cause acne in teenagers. Hormonal changes can be a factor, but the main issue is excess oil (sebum) production. We have sebaceous glands in our skin, which provide us with some natural oils that keep our skin healthy. When too much oil is produced, it can clog your pores and cause acne. Hair follicles become trapped under these clogged pores, which leads to inflammation and redness. Acne can also be caused by bacteria getting into your pores, or other things – like dead skin – clogging them up.

How To Treat Adult Acne

Treating adult acne isn’t as easy as washing your face every day. Instead, you should look for some proven methods of both preventing and getting rid of acne. At Manhattan Aesthetics, we offer two different treatments that are well worth trying:

Aerolase

Aerolase is a laser skin treatment that uses gentle light energy to treat lots of conditions. It uses advanced NeoClear technology, which can dry up sebaceous glands and stop the overproduction of sebum. Not only that, but this treatment also helps to remove any bacteria that has been stuck in your pores. Put simply, it gets straight to the root of the problem, dealing with the primary cause of acne. When this is taken care of, you will see your spots and redness slowly fade away and stay away.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a skin resurfacing treatment that can remove different layers of skin from your face. They are designed to help get rid of dead skin and reveal a vibrant and fresh layer beneath. We have a variety of peels available to try, with the VI Peel being a popular choice for those with acne. This is a good treatment to have once your spots have cleared up as it can get rid of acne scars or hyperpigmentation caused by the acne.

These two treatments are highly effective at treating adult acne in many patients. We also recommend trying different exfoliating products, which can help to unclog your pores at home. With the right approach, your adult acne can be a thing of the past in no time.

Am I a Good Candidate for Adult Acne Treatment?

Do you suffer from chronic acne? By this, we mean that you have multiple whiteheads and blackheads that never seem to go away, and perhaps you have lots of redness and bumpy skin as well? If so, you are a good candidate for adult acne treatment and we can help you get your skin back to its normal state.

How Long Does Restylane® Last?

Posted on February 5, 2021 - 8:18 am by simononline

At Manhattan Aesthetics, we offer a range of dermal fillers to help with lots of different skin concerns. Restylane® is one of our most popular fillers, offering a non-surgical way to experience excellent anti-aging results . If you have some early-onset wrinkles or feel like your face has lost some of its volume, this could be the perfect treatment for you to try.

*individual results may vary.

Restylane® Explained

Restylane® is a dermal filler that’s very versatile and mainly composed of hyaluronic acid. It’s injected into the skin, restoring a more youthful appearance by lifting up the outer layers. This works thanks to the acid in the filler that hydrates the skin and makes it ‘plump up’. The result is that you instantly see more volume and radiance in your skin, with wrinkles and fine lines becoming less visible.

How Long Does Restylane® Last?

The effects of Restylane® are shown to kick in soon after the injection. However, you can expect it to last in your face for up to 6-9 months. After this period, you can come back in for touch-up treatments to continue seeing sustained results.

Benefits of Restylane®

Restylane® comes with a range of benefits, the main one being that it contains naturally-occurring ingredients. Hyaluronic acid is found within your skin anyway, usually in connective tissue. So, you’re simply injecting something that already exists, rather than pumping your skin full of chemicals. As a result, this is a safe treatment that has been FDA approved since 2003.

Furthermore, Restylane® dermal fillers are some of the least invasive around. An injection is all that’s required. The entire procedure typically only lasts an hour or so, and there is minimal downtime. You might experience some swelling and soreness immediately after the treatment, but this goes down within 24 hours.

Finally, this treatment is shown to provide instant benefits following the procedure. Restylane® adds more volume under your skin, smoothing out wrinkles straight away. As mentioned earlier, your face also looks a lot brighter and less weathered. But, the effects continue to develop, and you usually see the full results after around 14 days. In short, Restylane® works, so it can be very useful if you have wrinkles, loose skin, a lack of vibrancy, and many other common facial skin conditions.

Am I a Candidate for Restylane®?

Due to the versatility of this dermal filler, any number of people can be ideal candidates. If you’re looking for a non-surgical cosmetic treatment – particularly one that deals with the common signs of aging – this could be perfect for you. It’s minimally invasive, relatively pain-free, and you don’t have to go through a lengthy recovery period.

Restylane® can be used to treat some of these common facial problems:

Deep wrinkles

Hollow under-eyes/dark circles

Thinning lips

Sunken cheeks

So, if you suffer from any of these issues, you could be a good candidate for this treatment. It is not recommended for individuals on blood-thinning medication, or anyone that has excessively sensitive skin.

What is Botox®?

Posted on January 23, 2021 - 12:07 pm by simononline

Dermal Fillers, Botox®, Manhattan, & New York City

Facial expressions require a symphony of coordinated muscle movements. Some of these movements crease and fold the skin until it develops lines and wrinkles. Botox® stops these muscles so your skin can relax and become smooth. Botox® can let you look noticeably younger without a fake or overdone appearance.

What is Botox®?

Botox® is a wrinkle relaxer injected into facial muscles to improve lines and wrinkles. At Manhattan Aesthetics, our expert injectors have been approved by Allergan, the manufacturer of Botox®.This injectable treatment works by blocking facial nerves from telling muscles to contract. This stops the muscles from creating wrinkles.

*individual results may vary.

What is Botox® Made Of?

Botox® uses a protein called botulinum toxin. A species of bacteria produce this toxin, which can cause rare cases of food poisoning. Botulinum toxin is extremely safe in the tiny doses used for facial injections. This protein interacts with nerves and stops them from releasing a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. Without this signal, facial muscles become relaxed and smoother. Lines and wrinkles soften and disappear.

What is Botox® Used For?

Botox® has many medical and aesthetic uses. Medically, it can treat excessive sweating, muscle spasms, and other conditions involving overactive muscles or nerves. Aesthetic uses include:

Crow’s feet
Forehead lines
Glabellar lines between the eyebrows
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Neck bands
“Gummy” smile
Lip lines

Some lines and wrinkles respond better to Botox® than others. You will see the best results with wrinkles caused by muscle movement. Wrinkles caused by sagging skin may respond better to another treatment.

How Much Does Botox® Cost?

Providers set their own prices for Botox®, and this will vary widely by location. Some providers measure Botox® in units, while others charge by the area. The average price per unit is about $14. Most people will need around twenty units to achieve their desired results. We recommend a consultation to provide an accurate estimate based on your goals.

What Results Will I See With Botox®?

Botox® results can take seven to ten days to develop. Botox® has been used for medical purposes for decades and found to be very safe. It can last from three to five months, depending on your individual response. You can expect to see lines and wrinkles soften and become less noticeable. An expert injector will make sure your results look entirely natural.

Is There Any Downtime With Botox®?

You can resume your usual activities immediately after your appointment. You might have some sensitivity or bruising in the injection area, but this will go away within a few days. You should avoid rubbing your face or engaging in strenuous activity for a day after treatment.

Which Type of Laser is Used in the Treatment of Vascular and Other Pigmented Lesions?

Posted on January 15, 2021 - 12:06 pm by simononline

At Manhattan Aesthetics, we offer a range of innovative laser treatments to combat a variety of conditions and issues. Typically, we recommend laser treatments when dealing with vascular and other pigmented lesions. In either case, we use specific lasers to deal with different issues.

*individual results may vary.

Laser Treatments for Vascular Issues

Many people come to us with a variety of vascular issues throughout the body. Spider veins are the most common vascular condition. This is where small clusters of superficial veins form and appear on your body. They’re harmless and don’t bulge out, but they can look fairly off-putting. If you suffer from this vascular problem, we have a laser solution:

About Excel V

Excel V is a gentle laser that uses sapphire contact cooling technology. It’s non-invasive and causes no pain at all. Essentially, this laser combines two wavelengths (532 nm and 1064 nm) to target shallow and deep vascular irregularities. The laser is applied to the area, collapsing the damaged blood vessels and letting the body absorb them. This makes the spider veins fade away, leaving you with clear skin.

We also offer Excel V+ treatments, which are more powerful than regular Excel V treatments. If you have a more severe case, our expert providers may recommend Excel V+ over Excel V. The Excel V+ provides optimal treatment of small vascular and pigmented lesions found in the most challenging areas on the face and body with the Dermastat handpiece. This handpiece allows the provider to have increased precision and versatility.

Laser Treatments for Pigmentation

Again, we have lots of patients complaining of pigmentation issues. Problems such as rosacea, dark spots, patched skin, and sun damage all fall under this category. Here, we have two different laser treatments to consider, depending on the problem:

About IPL PhotoFacial

Intense Pulsed Light (also known as a PhotoFacial) is a unique laser treatment that deals with many superficial imperfections on your skin. A handpiece is used to apply IPL wavelengths to your skin, slowly and safely heating it. Through this process, collagen expands and blood vessels constrict, creating a clearer complexion. In essence, it helps to remove any of the blemishes and pigmentation issues you’ve been suffering from.

About Aerolase

Aerolase is one of the most advanced treatment options we offer at Manhattan Aesthetics. It deals with things like wrinkles and broken capillaries, offering exceptional results.

Aerolase uses 1064 nm light energy to treat your complexion concerns. Light pulses are delivered at one-billionth of a second, making it easy to target specific areas of the skin. With each pulse, collagen production is stimulated from deep inside the skin. In essence, it works from inside to out, leaving the exposed layers of the skin with no damage. As a result, pigmentation problems are solved as they slowly fade away.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Treatments?

Almost anyone can benefit from our laser treatments, provided you have any of the conditions mentioned above. These lasers are safe and harmless, requiring no surgery or invasive procedures at all. The precise laser we use will be determined during your consultation. Here, we’ll assess your skin conditions and figure out which option provides the best results. It’s also worth noting that all three of our lasers are safe to use with different skin types and tones. So, if you have any vascular imperfections or pigmentation concerns, laser treatments might be perfect for you.

How Often Should You Get Microdermabrasion Treatments?

Posted on January 6, 2021 - 12:08 pm by simononline

Microdermabrasion is a highly popular treatment performed by our team at Manhattan Aesthetics. It’s suitable for treating a range of common skin conditions, making it a very effective skin rejuvenation option. As with all of our treatments, we get frequently asked questions from people who are keen to book an appointment. With microdermabrasion, the most common question we get is how often should one get this treatment?

*individual results may vary.

About Microdermabrasion

Firstly, it’s important to understand the process of microdermabrasion and how it works. You’ll be pleased to know this is a non-surgical procedure with minimal side effects and hardly any discomfort. The premise behind the treatment is that we remove the upper layers of dead skin from your face. In doing so, this reveals the fresh new skin beneath, instantly giving you a more vibrant and rejuvenated complexion.

To complete this procedure, our office uses a special diamond-tipped handpiece that peels away the dead skin. No lasers are involved, no injections are required – we lightly move the handpiece over your skin to get rid of all the dead skin.

Average Microdermabrasion Treatment Schedule

A microdermabrasion treatment will typically last anywhere between 30-60 minutes, depending on the individual. For some patients, this could be all they need to address their complexion issues. Most patients, however, will need to undergo more treatments to deal with more complex skin concerns. We tend to suggest around 3-6 sessions before you see your desired results. These sessions should be spaced 1-week apart to give your skin time to heal between procedures.

Following this initial block of treatment, you could also come back once a month for maintenance. This can be considered an average treatment schedule – but keep in mind that yours could look different to this!

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

There are plenty of benefits that come with microdermabrasion. For starters, it’s an excellent way to rejuvenate your skin and make it look and feel fresh. You get rid of dead skin cells, but the removal of this upper layer also boosts collagen production. In turn, this can make your skin look and feel a lot firmer and stronger. This may also see a reduction in wrinkles, while also reducing the appearance of acne scars and large pores.

Effectively, microdermabrasion is good at removing blemishes from your skin. This doesn’t just include acne scars and enlarged pores, but also things like stretch marks and fine lines. It also evens out the overall skin tone, and it achieves all of this with no surgery whatsoever.

Am I a Candidate for Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a fantastic option for anyone with mild-to-moderate skin complaints. More specifically, it’s an ideal procedure if you suffer from acne scarring, sun damage, or the signs of aging. It’s a minimally invasive technique with no surgery required, so it’s suitable for people that want to avoid any cosmetic surgery, yet still wish to see impressive results. Microdermabrasion also offers minimal downtime and no disruptions, making it perfect for busy professionals that want a treatment that won’t make you change your schedule.

How Much Does Microdermabrasion Cost?

Posted on December 20, 2020 - 8:58 am by simononline

In this day and age, you can undergo numerous facial rejuvenation techniques without resorting to complex surgeries. Manhattan Aesthetics provides an excellent range of options that target specific skin concerns. Microdermabrasion is one of our most sought after treatments, and we receive many questions relating to this subject. Primarily, people want to know how much this treatment costs and if it’s right for them.

Microdermabrasion Manhattan

*individual results may vary.

About Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is one of our non-invasive skin rejuvenation techniques. In essence, it provides you with skin resurfacing. We use a unique diamond-tipped handpiece that stips away the very top layer of your skin. It’s almost like we’re gently sanding down your skin to reveal the smooth, vibrant layer beneath. This technique will also trigger the skin’s natural defense system, rapidly increasing cell turnover rate. Consequently, collagen and elastin production increases, making your skin look clearer, stronger, and younger.

Average Cost for Microdermabrasion Treatments

The great thing about microdermabrasion is that it provides lots of benefits for your skin. Still, the key question is how much will it cost? Clearly, the precise cost will change depending on where you get the treatment, etc. In 2019, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons conducted some national research that put the average cost at $137. For a treatment that lasts up to 60 minutes, this is extremely affordable. Especially when compared to other cosmetic treatments of the same style.

Factors That Influence Final Cost

Several factors influence the final cost of your treatment. Primarily, the equipment used will play an integral role. Similarly, the location of the cosmetic practice will also influence the price. Some cities and states charge higher rates than others, but that’s just the way of the economy. The extent of your treatment can also be a factor. Some people receive minor treatment just to smooth out and refresh their skin. Others need more intense treatment to help with things like acne scars or other long-term skin issues.

Finally, most men and women need multiple treatments to see the full effects and this can influence your final price point. Some people only come in for 3 sessions, each spaced 1-week apart. On the other hand, you may need 6 sessions over the course of 6 weeks.

Am I a Candidate for Microdermabrasion?

Manhattan Aesthetics believes that microdermabrasion is a fantastic treatment for most people. It is one of the least invasive options around, giving you a quick way to see impressive results. No downtime is required, and there are hardly any post-treatment side effects. This makes it ideal for anyone that wants a quick cosmetic treatment when they have spare time during the day.

If you suffer from acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, sun damage, and the general signs of aging, you may be a good candidate for microdermabrasion. It can improve all of these issues and make your skin appear more vibrant and refreshed. Don’t worry; the experts at Manhattan Aesthetics will conduct a full skin evaluation before a treatment plan is decided. This will identify if you suffer from any conditions or problems that make you a bad candidate.

What are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

Posted on December 14, 2020 - 9:27 am by simononline

Manhattan Aesthetics offers a broad spectrum of incredible cosmetic treatments for a variety of clients. As such, we often get questions relating to our treatments, particularly dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that is widely popular and can help with a variety of skin issues. If you’re looking for minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, this could be a fantastic option to consider.

Dermaplaning New York City

*individual results may vary.

About Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a skin resurfacing technique that’s existed for many years. It was first seen in the modeling industry but has since branched out into the mainstream. The process consists of a tiny blade that removes very fine hairs from the uppermost layer of your skin. It can get rid of many imperfections, revealing a fresh and clear layer of skin beneath. This is a manual treatment that doesn’t include any chemicals or masks at all.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

This treatment offers similar results to microdermabrasion but through a different method. It’s an exfoliation technique, meaning it can get rid of many impurities that have been stuck in your skin for a long time. As a result, you tend to see the following benefits:

More radiant skin

Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and encourages your skin to replenish itself, making the cells reproduce. This leaves you with brighter and more radiant skin that looks brand new.

Remove fine hairs & improve skin texture

One of the key features of this technique is its ability to get rid of fine hairs on your skin. If you suffer from peach fuzz on your face, this is the most effective way of removing it. In turn, this improves your skin texture by leaving you with a much smoother surface.

Reduce wrinkles and fine lines

Additionally, dermaplaning encourages the production of collagen within the skin cells. This is a critical protein that helps your skin remain tight and strong. It also leads to elastin production, which adds more bounce to the skin. All of this contributes to a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

As you can see, there’s a long list of potential benefits to see from this treatment. However, you must consider that this is a relatively deep exfoliating treatment. Therefore, you shouldn’t get dermaplaning too often in quick succession. It’s recommended that you wait at least four weeks between appointments to truly see the benefits. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging your skin.

Should I Consider Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment that requires little preparation and no surgery. It’s relatively painless, with most people claiming they feel a slight scraping sensation and some warmth during and after the treatment. So, it’s well worth considering if you want cosmetic facial treatments without going under the knife.

Similarly, it’s suitable for the general population. You should only be cautious if you suffer from damaged skin or aggressive skin conditions. Don’t worry; the Manhattan Aesthetics team will provide a consultation to assess if you’re a good candidate or not. Dermaplaning also happens to be one of the most affordable and cost-effective treatments.

What are the Benefits of Thread Lifts?

Posted on November 23, 2020 - 10:58 am by simononline

Throughout history, people have looked for cosmetic treatments to treat sagging skin and wrinkles. The telltale signs of aging can be a confidence knocker in many of you, making you feel self-conscious whenever you look in a mirror. Over the years, various treatments have been developed to help tackle these problems – including thread lifts.

Thread lift treatment has been touted as an alternative to surgical facelift procedures, offering similar results without the invasiveness.

NovaThread Manhattan

*individual results may vary.

What is a Thread Lift?

A thread lift is a cosmetic procedure that places dissolvable threads under the skin. Manhattan Aesthetics uses Nova lift threads, which are considered to be the most effective in the industry. They are made out of a unique material that has been present in surgeries for decades, ensuring it is safe. The threads are effectively used to help lift up the loose areas of skin, stretching them out. This creates a more youthful appearance without needing to surgically remove any loose skin.

Over time, the threads will dissolve, but they also trigger your skin’s natural defense mechanism. The skin cells think your body is under attack, so they flood towards the treatment areas, triggering collagen production. This is critical for anti-aging as collagen helps the skin grow and improve elasticity. The result is more youthful-looking skin without extensive surgery.

Benefits of a Thread Lift Treatment

After undergoing this treatment, you will see improvements immediately. The threads will actively lift your skin, decreasing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As they dissolve (which takes up to 6 months), you continue to see improvements thanks to collagen production. In turn, you benefit from younger-looking skin that looks and feels a lot fresher.

As well as this, thread lifts don’t require much downtime after the treatment. You have minimal restrictions, meaning you can return to your daily activities almost instantly. The only things to avoid are vigorous bouts of exercise – but that’s it.

Compared to a surgical facelift, it’s fare less invasive and doesn’t require a long recovery period. Overall, you benefit from an anti-aging treatment that’s proven to work, will last up to 12 months, is minimally sore, and doesn’t demand any downtime

Am I a Candidate for Thread Lifts?

Are you concerned with some early signs of aging? If so, you could be an excellent candidate for thread lifts, particularly if you’re not ready for any surgical procedures. Both men and women can benefit from this treatment, especially if you have fine lines, wrinkles, saggy skin, droopy eyebrows, and sunken cheeks.

The lack of downtime also makes it an ideal treatment for people with full-time jobs. You may not be a good treatment for facelift surgery because it requires you to take too much time off work. Here, you can get back to business almost immediately after the procedure. The only people who might not be good candidates live very active lives – like athletes or sportspeople. The rigors of your life may stop the threads from settling and cause them to come loose or dissolve prematurely.
