The holidays are upon us, and if you’ve been feeling insecure about your appearance, you may be wondering how you can look party-ready without undergoing an invasive or painful procedure. Well, we’ve got just the answer for you: say hello to the thread lift.
At Colorado Skin Care, we want you to feel and look your best always, but we also know how important the holidays are. That’s why Kimberly Stone, MD, wants to help you look healthy and rejuvenated with a thread lift so you can feel like your best self this winter season.
Thread lifts are procedures that have been around since the 1990s, but they’re truly gaining popularity today as a face-lift alternative. They don’t require the serious recovery and downtime associated with this more invasive procedure, and instead, they make it easy to see fast, realistic results so that you can feel younger, fresher, and more rejuvenated.
During a thread lift, Dr. Stone takes thin sutures and passes them through your skin at specific entry points. These sutures lift the skin, while the incisions made at the entry points help kickstart collagen production. After the procedure, the sutures themselves dissolve away, leaving you with younger-looking skin.
Thread lifts aren’t the same as face-lifts because they don’t require invasive work, and they create more subtle, realistic changes. Recovery is also easier from a thread lift. You’ll start to see results immediately and the full outcome will appear after a few weeks.
Almost anyone in good health who wants to see younger-looking skin is a good candidate for this procedure. It contains few risk factors because of its minimally invasive nature, but it’s still important to discuss them with Dr. Stone. The most likely to occur are pain, swelling, and bruising, but these subside after a few weeks at the most.
You’re also a good candidate if you’re looking for something less invasive than a full face-lift, and you understand the results won’t be intense but more subtle. If you’re looking to get rid of lines on your jowls, brows, cheeks, or neck or to simply lift the skin a bit in these areas, a thread lift is likely perfect for you.
For one, recovering from a thread lift is a relatively quick process. You’ll look completely healed after a few weeks, and many people love that they can get the procedure before the holidays begin and see results just as they come into full swing. In addition, you won’t be off your feet for a long time, so you’ll still be able to run errands or work before the break.
Another good reason to get a thread lift before the holidays is that your loved ones will notice you looking younger and brighter, but the results usually aren’t severe enough to make them question the change. You’ll simply look like your best self, which is exactly what you want before the office party or a night out on New Year’s Eve.
Finally, it’s an affordable alternative to other, more invasive procedures. You might not be ready to take the plunge with another type of option, but thread lifts are extremely approachable and easy, taking about an hour to complete but with results that can last up to a year. If you’re looking for a gift for yourself this holiday, look no farther than the thread lift.
