Anti Aging with Sasha - Thread Lift / Feather Lift

What is a thread lift or feather lift?

Are you interested in a new, non-surgical type of facelift?

A Thread Lift or Feather Lift (also called an Aptos lift) is the same thing. It could be considered a 'non surgical facelift' that is - it lifts sagging facial skin without the need for surgical incisions. If you are considering this option, you should be aware that it is a new type of facelift (although it has been used in Europe for several years) and the long term cosmetic results are yet to be determined.

A threadlift is usually done while you are fullly awake under local anesthesia. The threads are inserted into the lower levels of the skin using needles, and their exact placement depends on exactly what you want to achieve. The thread itself, which has small barbs to hold the skin in place, is not reabsorbed or dissolved and remains in place. No skin is cut away and only the barbs on the threads give the lifting effect. It is a facelift for people who do not have very serious types of sagging or loose skin so is best suited to patients in their 30's or 40's.

The most common side effects of the threadlift are the thread being slightly visible through the skin, or slight skin puckering. There are not many doctors in the United States who are trained to use this proceedure yet, but the technique is becoming more popular and the numbers are increasing. The Thread material itself is still awaiting FDA approval as of 2005.
