Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed those pesky signs of aging creeping in? We get it. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin can leave you feeling less than your most confident self. But before you resign yourself to a traditional facelift with its lengthy downtime, let's explore a revolutionary option: thread lifts. Over this next week, we will be running a series of blogs answering your top questions about thread-lifting starting with a guide on Aptos threads - the champions of long-lasting results (up to 24 months!).

A Guide to Aptos thread lifts While traditional facelifts offer dramatic results, they often involve extensive procedures and significant downtime. Thankfully, innovative solutions like Aptos threads have emerged, providing a minimally invasive approach to combat the signs of aging and facial sagging. Dr. Leah Clinic has established itself as a Centre of Excellence for thread lifting procedures in the UK with our expertise spanning various thread types, including Aptos, Silhouette Soft, and PDO threads, allowing us the ability to tailor the thread treatment to your specific needs. But what exactly are the Aptos threads, and what is the science behind them?

How long does Aptos thread lift Last? – the Thread Lift that Lasts! Aptos threads boast the longest-lasting results out of all thread lifting types -up to 24 months!

Aptos threads offer a minimally invasive approach to facial rejuvenation. Imagine tiny threads with strategically placed barbs, acting like anchors to physically lift and reposition sagging tissues. This translates to immediate visible results, especially for deeper wrinkles, jowls, and volume loss.

While the physical lifting is the primary function of the barbs, both PLA and PCL used in Aptos threads have an additional benefit. As the body gradually breaks down these materials over time, it triggers the natural process of collagen production. Collagen is a vital protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. Increased collagen production helps improve skin texture, firmness, and overall youthful appearance in the treated areas. The combination of immediate lifting and long-term collagen stimulation contributes to the long-lasting results (18-24 months). Some versions of Aptos threads also incorporate hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a natural substance that attracts and binds water molecules, offering additional hydration and volumisation benefits.

What is the difference between Aptos and PDO threads? For a safe and effective approach to lifting and tightening your skin, Mint PDO threads are a great choice as they offer instant and dramatic lifting of the face and neck, however, If longer-lasting results are your priority then APTOS or Silhouette Soft threads might be a better fit. Another key difference with Aptos threads are their Barbed design. Unlike PDO and Silhouette Soft threads, Aptos threads often have smooth or slightly textured surfaces, Aptos threads primarily use barbs strategically placed along their length. These barbs act like tiny anchors, grabbing onto sagging tissues and physically lifting and repositioning them in a desired position.

Polynucleotides

Forget time machines - the future of anti-aging is here at Dr Leah Clinics! Polynucleotides (PNs), tiny fragments of DNA, are causing a stir in the aesthetics world as a revolutionary way to rejuvenate your face, neck, and under eyes. But what exactly are they, and why are they getting all the buzz?

Imagine your skin as a construction site: Over time, collagen and elastin (the key players in youthful firmness) start to dwindle, leaving visible signs of aging like wrinkles, sagging, and dryness. Polynucleotides stimulates those crucial building blocks to come back stronger dramatically improving skin quality across the forehead, under eyes, face, and neck. Think of them as tiny architects, telling your skin to produce more collagen and elastin, resulting in a firmer, plumper, and smoother appearance.

But Polynucleotides offer even more than just a collagen boost:

  • Hydration Hero: They attract and retain moisture, leaving your skin looking dewy and refreshed.
  • Under-Eye Savior: Dark circles and wrinkles around the delicate under-eye area? Polynucleotides can tackle those too, minimizing shadows and creating a brighter, more youthful look.
  • Neckline: Say goodbye to the dreaded "turkey neck." Polynucleotides tighten and firm the skin, restoring definition and a more youthful contour.

But don't just take our word for it:

  • Clinical trials have demonstrated dramatic improvement in the quality and look of their skin with participants experiencing improved ‘significant skin elasticity, smoothness, and reduced wrinkles.’
  • Industry experts are singing their praises, highlighting their bio-stimulatory effects and natural origin.
  • Harper's Bazaar even called Polynucleotide treatment the "innovative injectable storming the Beauty Scene” while Vogue calls it the “frontrunner in the bio stimulatory injectables and skin rejuvenation”
  • Ready to unlock the power of Polynucleotides for your face, neck, and under eyes? Polynucleotides are minimally invasive, with minimal downtime, making them a great option for those seeking a subtle yet noticeable rejuvenation.

Unlocking the Happy Lift's Magic:

The Happy Lift is a unique collaboration of three powerful techniques: microneedling, radiofrequency, and thread lifts. This synergy tackles various signs of aging head-on. Microneedling with the innovative industry-leading Morpheus8 device stimulates collagen and elastin production through tiny punctures in the skin while it delivers radiofrequency energy that tightens the skin and underlying tissues further, while thread lifts provide subtle lifting and support, delivering natural-looking results.

A Patient's Happy Transformation

The Daily Mail goes beyond the technical aspects, sharing the heartfelt story of Caroline Wood, one of Dr. Leah Totton's Happy Lift patients. After experiencing burnout and a career break, Caroline found herself facing ageism in the job market. She describes, "The ageing process snuck up on me during a period of four years when I was out of work as a result of burnout. It was preventing me from getting the roles I was interviewing for - I was being written off as soon as I entered the room due to my appearance."

Caroline's experience resonates with many individuals grappling with ageism's harsh reality. Fortunately, the Happy Lift offered her a solution. After the procedure, she shares, "I felt instant confidence – like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, literally and figuratively." Describing her return to work, she beams, "I could see a shift in how people perceived me. I felt valued and listened to, and most importantly, I landed my dream job!"

Unlock Your Happy:

The Happy Face Lift is a non-surgical treatment pioneered by Dr Leah Totton, who says it will rejuvenate the face and neck, giving natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

The Happy Lift empowers individuals to achieve:

  • A more youthful and revitalized appearance
  • Enhanced skin tone and texture
  • Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
  • Lifted and tightened jawline
  • Natural-looking results that boost confidence

Procedure Time: 30 minutes per procedure (a month’s gap between microneedling sessions)

Male or Female? Both

Suitable for age range: 50-70 years old

Back To Work: Microneedling & radiofrequency: 1 day; Thread lift: 5 days

Anaesthetic: Local

Areas treated: Face and neck

Number of treatments in clinic: 4

Results: Lifting effect visible immediately, rejuvenating effect gradually becomes visible over time

Duration Of Results: Up to two years

Side effects: Possible redness, marks on skin, bruising, puckering, pain, infection, allergic reaction

How it works: The treatment involves three microneedling plus radio frequency treatments and one thread lift session. 

During the first three treatments, tiny needles pierce the skin and pass heat in the form of radiofrequency to stimulate collagen and elastin. This promises to improve skin quality, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and unveils a firmer, more youthful complexion. These treatments take place 3-4 weeks apart.

During the final thread lift session, dissolvable collagen-stimulating threads are strategically placed beneath the skin's surface by expert doctors. A local anaesthetic is given so it is pain-free. 

The thread lift works by repositioning facial tissues to mechanically lift the face upwards and backwards in an L-shaped direction while simultaneously producing collagen and elastin.

How much it costs: £4,700 (available exclusively at Dr Leah clinics drleah.co.uk)

What are the final results: The ‘Happy Face Lift’ works in two ways: By stimulating natural collagen and elastin in the skin, and by lifting the face using threads to re-position areas which have ‘sagged' to where they would have been several years ago. This results in a naturally youthful and uplifted look to your face and neck
