The Problem

Collagen and elastin are proteins that work together to form the binding fibers of our skin. These fibers provide us with a web-like support making up over 80% of the outer layer of skin (the dermis).

Collagen gives our skin its firmness while elastin gives flexibility and helps the skin bounce back. Our bodies naturally produce both proteins but as we age, we produce less and less. Other factors are at war with our skin as well and with the skin laxity.

We typically start to see signs of looser, sagging skin beginning in our early thirties. Genetics plays a part however there are many other contributing factors to our skin heading downward. Diet, our environment, stress, smoking, sun exposure, fluctuations in weight and poor sleep patterns all take their toll and cause us to lose precious collagen and elastin in our skin.

What is the Threading Procedure?

Cosmetic threading is a non-invasive in office procedure. The threads are surgical sutures inserted under the skin using a small needle. During the Threading Procedure, a trained, licensed practitioner will place thin threads (Les Encres Cosmetic Threads) under the skin through tiny needle sites made in targeted areas. The thread is attached to a thin needle and inserted below the skin surface through fatty tissue. The threads have small hooks that pass under the skin through the use of a needle. The hooks grab hold of the skin and pull to re-suspend the skin in a more youthful position. Threading these sutures under the skin allows us to use the exposed thread end to pull the loose skin taut.

The loose skin is not removed, it is pulled back using the thread ends and then tiny sub-dermal, non-visible stiches are made to secure the lift. To produce lift we use cosmetic threads with ‘strategic split ends’ that gently grab a hold of tissue as they are pulled taunt. This slight suspension tightens up the treatment area and restores that youthful look.

A cosmetic thread procedure offers mirror-like effects of the more invasive, surgical face-lift procedure without the added pain and hassle. Restoring a smooth, youthful appearance to the face, neck, décolleté (chest canvas), breasts, legs, buttocks, upper arm, and mid-section.

Is this painful?

The treatment itself is nearly pain free. Patients do report feeling slight discomfort for a few days following the treatment, but the healing typically does not keep you from your normal daily routine.

Threading Procedure is considered a low-risk procedure with minimal recovery time, but side effects of redness, bruising, and swelling do occur.

When do I get to see the new me?

The Cosmetic Threading Procedure can help reduce the appearance of cellulite, smooth out the décolleté, provide slight lift to the breasts and knees, minimize sagging on the upper arms (batwings), chin and neck, and reduce the appearance of nasal-facial folds and marionette lines. The Cosmetic Threads dissolve completely leaving behind new, healthy collagen in their place. The boost in collagen gives each treatment area a “reset” on the normal aging process.

You will be able to see the changes a little lift can make during and immediately following treatment if treatment is in smaller areas. It will take about eight weeks to see noticeable effects of treatment.

How long does this last?

The more youthful look achieved by The Threading Procedure can last anywhere from 2 to 3 years depending on treatment area and type of thread used.
