Skin cancer is a very common cancer (with a continuing rise in incidence worldwide, especially among the white population) that can be cured if detected early and treated immediately.
If you’re looking to freshen up your appearance and have already done some research on the matter, you may be overwhelmed by all of the options available.
To help you out, we asked our team at Colorado Skin Care to discuss the differences between thread lifts and Botox® injectables and what cosmetic issues they address. Read on to learn what they had to say.
Thread lifts are the minimally invasive cousin of surgical lifts. Instead of using scalpels to remove excess skin, our specialists at Colorado Skin Care use threads to stitch and suspend the skin.
By opting for a thread lift, you can achieve a subtle lift that reduces wrinkles and jowls and tightens skin.
Thread lifts benefits include the following:
Thread lifts also boost collagen production. The threads used to suspend the skin trigger a healing response that goes on until the threads dissolve.
Collagen is part of the proteins that are sent to the site to heal and rejuvenate. As you age, your collagen production declines, but the threads ‘’trick’’ your body into sending more collagen proteins to your skin, improving your skin’s smoothness and elasticity.
Botox injectables block the chemical signals from nerves that tell your facial muscles to move.
As you age and your collagen production drops, each facial expression you make increases your chances of developing fine lines and wrinkles, as your skin slowly loses its ability to snap back to its initial position.
Botox doesn’t increase your skin elasticity. However, it can stop your muscles from moving, which makes wrinkles less likely to appear.
Because Botox stops muscle movements, it’s only effective against wrinkles caused by facial movements such as forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and wrinkles in the mouth area.
Benefits of Botox include the following:
You can combine dermal fillers and Botox to fix skin laxity issues.
By now, you probably have a good idea of how thread lifts and botox work. But without consulting with a professional, it’s challenging to determine what solution is optimal for your skin.

Moles, also known as nevi, are a type of skin growth and most of them are harmless. Moles can appear on skin as black, dark brown, blue or flesh coloured spots, flat or raised.
These growths develop on the skin of the neck of the chest or in the armpits, caused by the papilloma virus located on the skin.
Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes whiteheads, blackheads and pimples, especially on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest and arms. These areas are affected most due to the amount of sebaceous glands.
Most of the time when attending our face skin routine we tend to ignore our neck, but this part of our body is the most common area that is in need of wrinkle treatments.
Eye bags are a cosmetic issue and are usually harmless. Sometimes the puffiness can hide an underlying medical condition. In case of severe, painful or itchy swelling you should seek medical attention.
