V-lifting: rejuvenate with absorbable sutures
V-Lift consists in inserting very fine threads tensors into targeted areas under the dermis following some axes of tension. This very dense mesh favours the production of collagen.
These threads are absorbable, they lead to a stimulation and a beneficial production of collagen.
V-Lift indication
- Fill the lion’s wrinkle, the nasogenian folds and the bitterness fold
- Reduce wrinkles under the lower eyelids
- Smooth the fine wrinkles of the upper lip
- Smooth the décolleté
- Raise the tail of the eyebrow at the level of the forehead
- Enhance cheekbones
- Tighten sagging jaws
- Redraw the outlines of the face
- Treat the sagging skin of the arms, the belly or the thighs
The densification of the skin is visible in six to twelve weeks after the intervention and sustainable during one year. Some outlines of the face need more to be enhanced rather than to be filled. In some cases, a treatment which associates a thread lift and injections of hyaluronic acid is advised in order to obtain a better result.
Adverse effects are temporary. The patients can immediately resume normal activities.
- A light oedema, which eases gradually
-
Bruises may also occur to some people, in particular to Asian people with fine skin. These bruises quickly disappear and can be hidden with foundation cream.
- – The oval of the face can slightly ache to the touch during approximately a few days.
The results
The skin benefits from a face-lift effect and seems less wrinkled.
The effects are immediately visible and progressive to be optimal 1 or 2 months after the treatment.
The tightening threads create a fibrosis, which leads to the creation of a new collagen that lasts during 6 to 8 months.
The aftereffect obtained by the tightening threads lasts from 12 to 18 months
