What is a thread lift?

A tensor thread "lift" is a type of procedure in which temporary sutures are used to produce a subtle but visible "lift" in the skin.
Instead of surgically removing sagging skin from the patient's face, the professional simply suspends it by gripping parts of it to the tensor threads. This has the effect of pulling the skin slightly upwards, thus lifting and tightening the face.

The facial tightening threads used at Clinique Main d'Or are the Health Canada-approved "Silhouette Instalift" threads. These threads are based on the use of biocompatible temporary sutures interspersed with tiny cones.

Indications for thread lifting

In front of the mirror, have you ever pulled up your cheeks to evoke the more youthful appearance they once had?
Are you tired of dermal fillers but don't want to go under the knife?

Thread lift (Instalift) is the innovative non-surgical treatment that's right for you.
It is indicated for adults (aged 30 to 60) who have good skin quality but notice a loss of elasticity and sagging skin.

This treatment allows :

• Immediate enhancement of facial skin, including sagging cheeks and deep nasolabial folds,
  
• Volume enhancement through natural collagen stimulation for up to two years.
  
  

Intervention in practice

You begin with a consultation with our professional facial thread specialist. During this consultation, it's important to be open and honest about your treatment expectations.

The professional:

• Mark the entry and exit points of the tensor threads on your face,
  
• Cleanse the skin with a sterile solution,
  
• Provides local anesthesia,
  
• Insert tensor threads with precision to achieve the desired lift,
  
• Adjusts seating position to 90° to ensure symmetry,
  
• Cut the visible end of the wire under the skin.
  

The protocol is meticulously designed to maximize the success of your thread lift.

The benefits of thread lifting

• Rapid response (approx. 1 hour),
  
• Immediate, natural results,
  
• Little post-treatment discomfort,
  
• Lasting results for 1 to 3 years thanks to tensor threads.
  

Compared to the price of a face lift in Quebec for conventional surgery, the price of Tenseurs Visage Sons in Montreal is much more affordable, while offering an excellent rejuvenating effect.

Suites

After a thread lift, slight swelling or bruising may occur.
This usually dissipates within 24 to 48 hours of the procedure.
Occasionally, a slight depression or skin irregularity may appear, which disappears rapidly.

Expected results

Results are immediate after placement of the tightening threads.
You'll see a natural lift to the cheeks and mid-face.
The collagen stimulated by the procedure will continue to improve your skin's elasticity for 3 to 6 months.

The average duration of a facelift using tensor threads is estimated at between 12 and 24 months, offering an excellent compromise between naturalness, effectiveness and price, compared to the price of tensor threads in Montreal and the price of a traditional facelift in Quebec.
