Procedure

The best Thread Lift in Bangalore performed by Dr. Sandhya Balasubramanyan is a multi-step procedure. It is also called the lunchtime lift as the procedure is done under Local anaesthesia or mild sedation. You can go home a few hours after the procedure.

A barbed or a cogged thread with a needle is introduced from the hairline region and passed under the skin to the centre of the face. Multiple threads are passed in different vectors to catch the excess skin. These threads are then pulled up and anchored in the scalp to give an immediate lifting effect to the jowls, neck, and eyebrows or droopy cheeks. The threads dissolve over a few months and during this time the lifted tissue rests firmly in its new position.

These threads have the added benefit of stimulating the production of collagen in our skin. As we age the collagen content of our skin reduces causing loss of volume and suppleness to the skin causing wrinkles and fine lines. Threads by stimulating collagen production rejuvenate the skin of the face. This effect of threads lasts for 2-3 years.
