Featured in The Daily Mail…

Today, we're excited to announce that this groundbreaking procedure has been featured in The Daily Mail. Renowned beauty and lifestyle journalist Helen Carroll personally underwent the Dr L Lift and the results were truly extraordinary.

In her own words, Helen shared her journey with the non-surgical facelift, stating, "I was instantly less jowly and my jawline more visible than it had been in years. Even my husband, Dillon, who is not known for his observational skills, said I looked ‘fresh-faced’…. My niece insisted I looked like ‘a twentysomething’ — all right that was in just one, blurry photograph she’d taken — and my sister said I looked ‘ten years younger’ and frogmarched me over for inspection by the bride’s mother, who, it turned out, she had told all about my ‘little refresh’. So impressed was my sister, I think she may book in herself… my face has continued to plump-up and my complexion, I’d go as far to say, is as smooth as it was in my 30s.”

Now, we invite you to delve into the science behind the Dr L Lift, uncovering its remarkable advantages and why it is quickly becoming the go-to choice for individuals seeking a non-invasive, long-lasting solution for face and neck lifting.

Understanding the Dr L Lift – the non-surgical facelift that lasts…

During menopause, the skin's collagen and elastin levels deplete swiftly, resulting in noticeable sagging of the face and neck. The Dr L Lift restores these vital skin components while offering an instantaneous, enduring lift using strategically placed dissolvable threads.

This innovative procedure works by harnessing the industry-leading power of the radiofrequency device Morpheus8 in conjunction with the Silhouette Soft Thread Lift. Together, they target key indicators of facial and neck aging, such as sagging cheeks, jowls, a crepey neck, an undefined jawline, and a descending mouth.

The results are dramatic yet natural-looking - circumventing the need for surgical intervention.

The Power of Radiofrequency Micro-needling with Morpheus8

To better understand the Dr L Lift Treatment we must look at the individual components and how they work together to achieve transformational results. The first of the treatment elements to be used in the Dr L Lift is is radiofrequency microneedling with a cutting-edge device called Morpheus8. Morpheus8 harnesses the power of radiofrequency energy to remodel the skin - by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, Morpheus8 improves skin quality, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and unveils a firmer and more youthful complexion. The treatment involves three sessions, each spaced 3-4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Crucially, Dr Leah Clinic stands as a leading authority in the UK on the Morpheus8 application. Thanks to their advanced training, the clinic is equipped to deliver the procedure at an enhanced microneedling depth, for superior skin remodelling and firming outcome.

The Benefits of an Award-winning Thread Lift

It's all about the L-shaped trajectory...

In addition to radiofrequency microneedling, the Dr L Lift incorporates a thread lift to further enhance the lifting and tightening effects. Thread lifting involves the strategic placement of dissolvable stitches beneath the skin's surface by expert doctors. These sutures actively elevate sagging fat pads and facial muscles due to aging, moving them up and back in an L-shaped trajectory, restoring these features to their original placement, which culminates in a rejuvenated more youthful appearance. This non-invasive facelift gives an instant uplift which gets better with time, as the thread lift also triggers collagen and elastin synthesis, enhancing skin's overall texture.

At Dr Leah Clinic, the doctors performing thread lifts are industry experts and renowned global trainers in thread lifting procedures with Dr Leah Clinic is renowned for its expertise in thread lifts, having performed more thread lift treatments than any other clinic in the UK.

Dr Leah Totton, the pioneer of the Dr L Lift, explains the rationale behind the Dr L Lift approach: "My goal when developing The Dr L Lift treatment was to reposition the facial tissues to their position in the more youthful face and replenish the collagen and elastin in the skin, essentially restoring how the face looked several years before. This approach allows us to achieve immediate and long-lasting, natural-looking results."

Why Choose the Dr L Lift?

1.Non-Invasive: Unlike surgery, the Dr L Lift is a minimally invasive treatment that does not require incisions or general anaesthesia. This means less downtime and a quicker recovery period.

2.Natural Results: The Dr L Lift aims to rejuvenate the face rather than drastically alter your appearance. Dr Leah Totton emphasizes subtle cosmetic results that make you look like the best version of yourself.

What is a Thread Lift?

A Thread Lift is a treatment performed by our senior expert cosmetic doctors. Dr Leah has performed the most thread lifts in the whole of the UK and is credited as the ‘Best thread lift doctor’ in the UK!

Our thread lifts are bespoke to each client ensuring completely transformative yet natural results. Imagine a facelift without going under the knife!

This Thread lift (Silhouette Soft Thread Face Lift) uses bi-directional absorbable threads to lift your facial skin. The thread lift also can be used to lift jowls, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and even the eye areas!

 

What is a silhouette soft thread lift?

The silhouette soft is a brand of thread, it is a dissolvable stitch that produces the very best results for a thread lift. This thread is an especially effective thread for not only lifting tissues but also producing and stimulating collagen. Resulting in a natural lift without making you look too plumped or unrecognisable!

The Silhouette soft thread is a thin thread that contains tiny cones, these allow the thread to attach to the deep tissue of your face which in turn lifts to your desired result.

What happens in a thread lift treatment?

Firstly, you will begin with a bespoke consultation. The point of the consultation is to ensure that your thread lift desires are not only listened to but achievable, we aim for natural results which make our clients feel youthful and comfortable. The treating doctor will ensure that your concerns are listened to and will discuss your desired results. Thread counts can range from 1-10. Understanding what you are aiming to achieve aesthetically is vital at this stage.

Next, the doctor will mark out the areas that the threads will be inserted. Ensuring that the correct areas of the face and or neck are going to be lifted appropriately.

The doctor will then ensure you are efficiently numbed via local anaesthetic at the insertion points to ensure the thread lift is as comfortable as possible and then will begin treatment.

The thread lift treatment is relatively straightforward, you shouldn’t be in any pain throughout and it lasts around 45 minutes depending on how many threads you are having.

Once the threads are fully inserted they are then tightened. This is when you can begin to identify the results. After a thread lift you may experience bruising and even puckering of the skin, however, this is extremely common and downtime should not last longer than 10 days*
*downtime can vary between patients.

Do thread lifts work?

The short answer is yes! If you are looking for a natural and subtle way to refresh and anti-age your appearance, then a thread lift could be the perfect treatment for you. It is a wonderful alternative to the facelift without the pressure of going under the knife. It is also a great way to pre-empt your look before committing to permanent threads. Thread lifts are sought after for multiple reasons, including lifting jowls, raising hooded eyes and giving your face and neck that much needed lift to reveal a younger and firmer appearance!

Below are some of the incredible before and after images of thread lift results in our clinic!

Thread lifts are a trending topic.

At Dr. Leah Clinic, we have featured in The Guardian and Saturday Times Newspaper in the last month alone for our industry-leading, award-winning thread lift procedure – The Silhouette Soft Lift.

Dr. Leah has performed the most procedures of its kind in the UK and is widely acknowledged as ‘the very best’ for Silhouette Soft Thread lifts. But why are more people than ever choosing to have a thread lift over a surgical face lift?

Indeed Dr. Leah Clinic has seen a surge in clients requesting the treatment in the last two years, with patients flying from across Europe to undergo the facial lifting procedure. The number of searches for thread lifts online is increasing month on month, with beauty bibles such as Tatler recently deeming facial thread lifts as a “life-line’ for facial sagging.

To understand why thread lifts are swiftly becoming the most popular treatment for facial rejuvenation, we must delve into the history of its surgical counterpart - the traditional face lift.

 

The History of Facial Lifting.

A historical surgical procedure

 

Traditional face lift surgery had existed for over 100 years when in 1916, surgeon Erich Lexer first performed the procedure. His method involved lifting the skin above the facial muscles, pulling it back over the ear, and cutting off any excess skin. For nearly 60 years, the Dr.Lexer technique of face lifting remained the fashion; however, this procedure often resulted in the typical over-tight, overstretched look. This ‘windswept’ outcome resulted from the facial skin being too tightly pulled across the earlobe and underlying tissue not being addressed, which is the root cause of facial sagging.

It was not until the 1970s when Dr. Paul Tessier tweaked the Dr. Lexer method to address the superficial muscular aponeurotic system where this procedure really came into its own. The Dr Tessier method focused on repositioning sagging, soft tissue under the skin to a higher, more youthful position prior to removing excess skin. The result: a significant lifting of the jowls, sagging cheeks, and nasolabial folds. The Dr. Tessier technique is still widely used today and is otherwise known as the SMAS facelift.

And so, the SMAS facelift begins the practice of facial lifting and sculpting via the deeper layers of facial tissue and muscle. This evolution brings about the transition into the non-surgical facelift with the non-invasive thread lift.

 

An Evolution to less Invasive Facial Lifting…

Let’s now discuss thread lifting and how it compares to this surgical approach to facial rejuvenation.

A thread lift technique uses the innovative aspect of the SMAS lift, which goes beneath the surface of the skin to lift the underlying tissue and address facial sagging. There are, however, key differences between the two procedures which are making the thread lift a popular choice for those worried about going under the knife.

Firstly a thread lift is not as invasive as a SMAS lift and does not involve any cutting of the skin, which results in less downtime and potential complications associated with a traditional surgical facelift. The thread lift process involves a fine needle being inserted into the face; to (like the SMAS facelift) address the deeper layers of facial matter below the surface of the skin. This enables a more effective and long-lasting lift to the face without any cutting of the skin, which can result in unsightly scarring. The thread lift needle delivers a thread with tiny cones attached to it, which painlessly hook into a subcutaneous layer of fat in the face. The threads are then pulled tightly upwards to lift the layer of fat in the face, resulting in a subtle lift. Like the SMAS facelift, this treatment raises and sculpts the jowl area, noticeably reducing the look of nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Another key benefit to a thread lift is the production of new collagen caused by the cones, which helps to plump and rejuvenate the face.

 

The Silhouette Soft Lift technique…

At Dr. Leah Clinic, we are proud to lead the field in the most effective of thread lifting procedures. We use the most premium brand of threads - Silhouette Soft Threads, which are made out of Poly-L-Lactic Acid material and have greater longevity in comparison to PDO threads (another popular type of thread lift)

A Silhouette Soft Lift at Dr. Leah Clinic lasts around 18 months vs. the typical six-month lifespan of PDO threads. Silhouette Soft threads are also superior in terms of immediate lifting effects and collagen production.

 

Why are thread-lifts increasing in popularity?

(Above) Fox eye thread lift at Dr Leah Clinic

 

Recent years have seen a rise in celebrities having some thread lift help. The Eye thread lift, in particular has heightened in demand over the last year with the suggestion that high profile models such as Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid have had the treatment to achieve a lateral brow lift effect (commonly known as the Fox eye lift)

This move-in popular culture to embrace non-surgical face lifting methods has undoubtedly affected the popularity of the thread lift treatment. The trend for facial lifting has also been popularised through viral Tik Tok and social media videos striving to achieve a lifted look to the eye and lower face through the clever use of makeup and face lifting tape. While these methods are undoubtedly creative, a Silhouette Soft Lift offers a longer-term solution and unlike a traditional surgical facelift does not involve months of recovery and 15k plus price tag.

Thread lifting at Dr. Leah Clinic can be conducted in less than an hour, with quick results and minimal downtime.

Prices start from £2200
