THREADS

What makes threads special?

• Minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment.

• Threads stimulate your own natural collagen.

• The results have longevity, lasting 12-18 months.

• When expertly placed, threads can lift and sculpt to provide subtle yet noticeable enhancement.

How treatments work

• The treatment area is thoroughly sterilised and draped.

• Local anaesthetic is injected for maximum comfort.

• A small entry point is created for the thread placement using a needle (this is not painful thanks to the local anaesthetic).

• The thread is placed in position and gently tugged to lift and sculpt.

• An antiseptic ointment or dressing may be placed over the thread entry point.

Pre-treatment guidelines:

• Avoid aspirin, brufen or other blood thinning agents for 1 week prior to procedure: Please consult your primary care physician before stopping any prescription blood thinning agents.

• Retinols or benzyl peroxide 2-3 days prior to treatment.

• Dental, medical or invasive procedures 2 weeks before and after treatment.

  Please note: if you have an infection, rash or acute inflammation in the area to be treated that we will need to re-schedule the appointment for when this has resolved.

Post-treatment guidelines:

• Apply an ice pack after procedure if needed

• Take analgesics for 2-3 days after the procedure if required.

• Avoid make-up for 24hrs

• Sleep face up for 5-7 nights

• Wash face gently without excessive rubbing for 7 days

• Avoid excessive face and neck movements for 1-2 weeks

• Avoid face and neck massages for a month

• Avoid over exposure to sunlight for 2 weeks.

• Avoid exercise for 2 weeks.

• No saunas for 3 weeks.

• Optional: wearing elastic support or taping (e.g. micropore) can be helpful
