Thread Lift Treatment

Maintaining a healthy skin that gives you a youthful look as you age is not an easy task. You have to follow a protein-rich diet that also contains ample amounts of anti-oxidants and micronutrients. While following such a regime with regular exercise is not everyone’s cup of tea, they can always choose from various anti-aging treatment options available at Skinlattice Gurugram. These anti-aging treatments are personalized according to your requirements and keep critical things in mind such as your skin type and texture. 

Thread lift is also one such treatment that can help you regain your skin’s firmness, glow, and youthful appeal. In this procedure, the plastic surgeon places a thread beneath your skin that is used for pulling your skin to its place. These threads are medical-grade and they activate your skin’s ability to produce more collagen and elastin. Therefore, the Thread Lift treatment not only works externally for tightening your skin, but it also enables your skin to maintain the effects of the treatment by stimulating more production of collagen. 

Our experts at Skinlattice Gurugram can choose from different types of threads for subtle changes. Thread Lift is quite different from facelift-type plastic surgeries that pull your skin for a tighter and younger appearance. It is also commonly called ‘Lunchtime Lift’ due to short sessions with no downtime at all.
