Thread lifts are most commonly thought of as a less invasive alternative to a surgical face lift – but the latest products and techniques make them a far more precise and targeted tool which can help improve the difficult neck and jawline area.
As the face ages, it is not the little lines and wrinkles that give away a person’s age but often the definition around the neck and jawline.
Skin in the neck area is quite delicate and thin, which means that it appears to age faster than the face with the skin becoming crepey and saggy, lacking definition.
With regard to the jawline, a youthful face has a ‘V’ shaped profile around the chin and jawline, but as the face changes and tissues become more relaxed, the profile becomes more ‘U’ shaped with a squarer or less defined form.
The combination of ageing factors makes the neck and jawline area one of the biggest challenges for clients and Aesthetic Practitioners. The techniques used for facial rejuvenation – BOTOX® and dermal fillers – are not as straightforward when it comes to the neck area. However, there are sophisticated uses of BOTOX® and dermal fillers which elite Aesthetic Physicians like Dr Barbara Kubicka, founder of Clinicbe®, can offer to create a ‘lift’ which improves the form of the neck/jawline.
- BOTOX® works by relaxing fine muscle movements.
- Standard BOTOX® is not so relevant for jaw and neck due to the lack of muscle movement in the area.
- Elite Aesthetic Physicians can offer more sophisticated uses of BOTOX ® such as the ‘Nefertiti Lift‘ which sculpts and lifts to improve the form of the neck/jawline.
- Dermal fillers work by replenishing lost volume
- Standard dermal fillers are not relevant for the jaw and neck as the problem tends not to be about volume loss but loosening tone and tissues
- Elite Aesthetic Physicians ARE able to use dermal fillers in a non-surgical face lift
However, over and above the cosmetic injections, the latest thread lifts are a very effective way of lifting and tightening the loose tissues, creating a sharper profile with smoother skin for a noticeably fresher look.
Thread Lift for Neck & Jawline
A thread lift can be used to create a structural lift as well as rejuvenating the tissues for localised skin tightening:
- Biodegradable threads are inserted beneath the surface of the skin
- These are then manipulated for a ‘lift’ effect
- Promotes a more youthful, pointed and defined chin and jawline
- Lifting effect smoothes the skin in the neck area
- Threads promote local production of collagen and elastin for a tightening effect
Clinicbe® offer two types of thread lift:
