Threads, or thread lifts, offered by Dr. Wangui Waithaka, are an innovative non-surgical solution to lift and tighten sagging skin. This minimally invasive procedure uses biodegradable sutures that are inserted under the skin to lift and reposition tissues, providing an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production for longer-term benefits.
The procedure takes about one to two hours, depending on the areas being treated. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort, and the threads are carefully inserted using fine needles. The threads anchor the skin and lift it, creating a more youthful and contoured appearance. Over time, the threads dissolve, but the skin’s support structure is enhanced, leading to continued improvement.
Threads are ideal for lifting the midface, jawline, neck, and brow. They provide a natural-looking lift and are a great alternative for those not ready for a traditional facelift.
The results can last 1-2 years, with the immediate lifting effect seen right after the procedure and continued improvement as collagen forms.
Side effects are minimal and may include mild swelling, bruising, and slight discomfort, which typically resolve within a few days.
Yes, thread lifts can be combined with treatments like fillers or Botox to enhance the overall results.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. Some patients may experience a slight pulling sensation during the procedure.
