COSMETIC INJECTIONS

We offer consultations with our highly qualified Cosmetic Doctors and Nurses for you to discuss a range of concerns you might have about the appearance of your skin, including reducing the appearance of wrinkles, volume loss and enhancement, improving skin hydration, boosting collagen production and more.

Paris Lift (PDO mechanical threads)

The Paris Lift non-surgically repositions and supports sagging skin caused by ageing using absorbable PDO mechanical threads, with results visible instantly and improving over time. The treatment is ideal for reducing deep nasolabial folds, heavy jowls and sagging cheeks. A Paris Lift can also sharpen your jawline and restore lost volume.

HOW IT WORKS

The Paris Lift involves inserting absorbable mechanical threads via a cannula into the deep layer of skin. The thread is made of polydioxanone (PDO) which is a biodegradable polymer that is slowly absorbed by your body over time.

The threads naturally stimulate your body to regenerate fibroblasts which create collagen and stimulate your own elastin and hyaluronic acid. The Paris Lift provides a long-lasting*, more lifted and youthful appearance.

The Paris Lift treats your face, jawline and neck.

RESULTS

Results are visible immediately and last for up to 12 months as the threads naturally dissolve and are broken down by your body. Annual treatments are recommended for optimum results.

TREATMENT PREPARATION
  • Avoid blood-thinning medication (e.g. aspirin ibuprofen, fish oil, and St John’s wort) one week prior
  • Advise us if you are allergic to anesthetic
WHAT TO EXPECT

Prior to your first treatment, our doctor will consult with you to assess your suitability for thread lifts and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.

The procedure involves the threads being inserted under selected areas of the skin using a canula and needle. Local anesthetic will be applied prior to treatment to minimise discomfort.
