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.

WHAT IS

   PROFHILO?

Would like to hydrate and rejuvenate your face? Do you have crepey skin on your neck or arms that you want to smooth and tighten? Would you like the back of your hands to look younger?

 If so then Profhilo is the ideal treatment for you - Rejuvenate, hydrate and stimulate collagen production today!

Profhilo is a series of injections of pure hyaluronic acid, it hydrates the skin and triggers collagen and elastin production. It results in the bio-remodelling of the skin and dramatically improves the quality of the skin.

Amazing for those looking for an overall improvement in skin’s quality or those wishing to treat crepey skin on the face and neck. It also works very well to rejuventate the back of the hands and make them look younger or smooth and tighten loose skin on arms.

Procedure Time:

30 minutes (estimated)

Concerns:

Dehydrated or wrinkled skin, aged skin on back of hands, crepey skin on face or neck, loose crepey skin on arms (bingo wings), wrinkled skin above knees.

Areas treated: 

Face, neck, back of hands, bingo wings, skin above knees.

Anaesthetic
Numbing cream if requested.

Full Recovery
24 – 48 hours (estimated).

Return to work:

Next day for face and neck treatments and same day for arm and hand treatments.

One-off treatment or course: 

Two initial treatments (each one month apart)  followed by maintenance top- up treatment every six months.

Results

Visible from 6 weeks after 1^st treatment. Best result is 1 month after completing your second treatment.

Duration of results

6 months.

Profhilo has one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic acid available on the market. It is injected in 5 points on each side of the face and its high-spread ability means it disperses to cover the whole mid and lower face. It is a bio-rejuvenator, bio-revitaliser and tissue stimulator.

Please note :Profhilo is not the same as dermal filler. Although both contain hyaluronic acid it does not have the same thick viscosity and will not fill out the area, instead it is a water-like gel (similar constancy to honey) which is injected in small amounts throughout the face. It spreads beneath your skin stimulating collagen and elastin to improve skintone, texture, elasticity - giving you an overall more youthful, hydrated, glowing complexion.

The treatment will enhance an entire area rather than be used to fill one specific line or fold it can flow freely through the deep skin layers in a way that dermal fillers cannot it won’t produce lumps and bumps and therefore is fantastic for areas like the neck, hands or arms where fillers are not normally used.

What do our patient’s say:

"I was in my early 40’s when I started having Prohilo, I had noticed my skin had become dryer and more wrinkled with age and wanted to give it a boost! After trying it on my face I was sold and now have it every 6 months on my face and neck and hands! It is such a natural result no one else would know I had anything done, my husband thinks I look great but doesn’t know why!"  -Lucie, 45

"My hands were the give-away of my age, I was self conscious at events or at dinners to reach for my glass and draw attention to them. I have profhilo on them now every 6 months and I had pigmentation laser on them also at Dr Leah clinic, it has made them look the same age as my face (which thanks to Dr Leah is a lot younger than my actual age!!)"  - Michelle, 64

What Does a Mummy Tummy Makeover Consist Of?

Dr Leah’s ‘Mummy Tummy Makeover’ is a new skin tightening treatment for the stomach which uses a combination of medical laser plus radiofrequency treatments over a course of 8 sessions to target the appearance of stretchmarks and tighten loose skin. Dr Leah created the new treatment in response to seeing a huge surge in the number of people presenting with excess skin and stretchmarks following extensive weight loss over a short period of time, the makeover uses the latest in non-surgical technology to tighten loose skin and treat the appearance of stretchmarks with no downtime or scarring. 

Our founder and Medical Director, Dr Leah, explains: “We have seen a dramatic rise in the number of clients requesting treatment for excess skin and striae (stretchmarks) following dramatic weight loss. We are in the era of ‘body transformations’ - new mums seem to be returning to their pre-pregnancy weight in very short periods of time and social media is awash with examples of people who have had dramatic weight loss transformations. What is not often highlighted is the effect of such dramatic fluctuations in weight on the skin- the striae (stretchmarks) which can be caused by rupture of elastin fibres from excessive stretching and the residual lax skin which can often remain. It is not uncommon for my clients, including Clare, who went from a size 22 to a size 10, to actually tell me that they preferred their appearance before losing weight to the appearance after. It can be a very disheartening thing to go through the effort and commitment involved in losing weight only to still feel unhappy with your appearance, albeit for a different reason. Until recently surgery has been the only real option to remove excess skin– this comes with the risk of general anaesthetic and scarring, there is an associated recovery time and reasonable financial cost involved. At Dr Leah Clinics we are passionate about innovation in the non surgical cosmetic space and are keen to bring the most advanced treatments to a UK audience.  Advances in recent years in non-surgical aesthetic medicine mean that we have been able to create the Mummy Tummy Makeover which is a simple and non invasive course of treatments to tighten loose skin on the tummy and reduce the appearance of stretchmarks without the need to go under the knife, without downtime and without scarring. It has proved incredibly popular.”

How does it work?

The process of undergoing a Mummy Tummy Makeover involves several appointments; 

• Appointment 1 Initial Body Consultation - FREE

During your Initial Body Consultation, a patch test is completed to ensure suitability for the treatment course. 48 hours after your initial consultation, your treatment course will begin. 

• Appointment 2 - One iPixel or Dermapen Session

iPixel 

As we age, the tone and texture of our skin changes. Fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear, age spots and blemishes may develop, and the texture of our skin can become coarse and uneven. To combat this, we use light and laser-based skin resurfacing technologies to smooth out and balance the skin texture, tone and elasticity. Our iPixel employs a fractional delivery method which creates pixel-sized perforations in the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This allows the skin to heal faster as the epidermis is regenerated. 

Dermapen 

Dermapen is the industry leading microneeding device, it is a skin repair treatment that can help to significantly improve the appearance of ageing or scarred skin. It uses tiny needles attached to a pen device to gently puncture the skin causing a series of traumatic punctures on the skin. The result of this is that the skin responds to this by naturally producing collagen and elastin to repair itself. The production of collagen and elastin work to smooth and firm the skin, plumping out deep lines and improving the indented or red appearance of scars and stretch marks.

• Appointments 3 to 8 - Six Radiofrequency Sessions 

Radiofrequency

Our radiofrequency utilises electrodes to deliver the Radiofrequency energy under the skin (which is controlled and limited to the treatment area). Radio frequency helps to concentrate the body’s collagen fibres and encourages the quick regeneration of the collagen and elastin that we lose as we age. This results in a firmer, more youthful look.

• Appointment 8 - One iPixel or Dermapen 

 Finally, the area of concern is treated with another powerful iPixel or Dermapen session to further enhance the tightening effect provided by the Radiofrequency.

Clare's Story

“After I gave birth to my little girl when I was 18 years old, my weight quickly ballooned and this left a lot of stretch marks. I had my son 5 years later and at my biggest I was a size 22. I have worked really hard and I have been able to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, a healthy size 8. I did it through diet and exercise and I have sustained my weight at this level for several years now. Losing the weight was one of the hardest things I have done, it required an entire lifestyle change but I was prepared for it – what I was not prepared for is the stretch marks and loose skin I was left with. I feel healthier now and I am confident with how I look with clothes on but my stomach looked better when I was a size 22! No one ever talks about the fact that your tummy may actually look worse after you lose the weight!

I remember trying on a bikini for the first time after I had reached my goal weight, and thinking to myself that my tummy looks like an 80 year old’s, I felt really disappointed. I thought to myself I have just replaced a big belly with a wrinkled one and neither looked good!

I decided last summer to do something about it, I started to explore options and actually went for a plastic surgery consultation to find out about going under the knife to remove the loose skin but after the consultation scared me, I didn’t feel I could justify the risk of a general anaesthetic when I have two children or the time off work to recover and the amount of scarring I would have and the cost was thousands of pounds.

Realising surgery was not going to be for me, I began to look into other options, I researched non-surgical clinics and found Dr Leah Clinics. I remembered Dr Leah from The Apprentice and knew she was a medical doctor, I also saw her clinics had won awards so I knew they would be offering the best treatments available. I went to speak to Dr Leah about my tummy and see if she could help. Dr Leah immediately put me at ease, she was lovely, she listened to my concerns and made me feel that I was not the only person who had this problem and that there was hope without having to go under the knife. Dr Leah recommended the Mummy Tummy Makeover for me, which involved treating my stretchmarks and loose skin in a combination of 8 treatments (one per week for 8 weeks). The treatment was a mixture of medical laser treatments and radiofrequency based treatments. I was slightly nervous on the day of my first treatment, more about showing my stomach to the aesthetic therapist but she was really nice and put me totally at ease and the treatment was not painful at all. There is a slight tingling sensation when having the medical laser and I had some scabs on my tummy for a few days after, where my stretchmarks had been. The Radiofrequency treatment was actually really relaxing. Each treatment took around 45 minutes and I was able to return to work and normal life immediately after all treatments and no one knew I was having them!

I started to see the results after about my third treatment, by my 6^th I was really impressed and now I have completed the Mummy Tummy Makeover I am absolutely delighted with the results. I know my stomach will never be ‘perfect’ but for the first time ever I feel confident to have my tummy on show and will be wearing a bikini this summer!”

Dermapen is the industry leading microneeding device, which is a skin repair treatment that can help to significantly improve the appearance of ageing or scarred skin. It uses tiny needles attached to a pen device to gently puncture the skin causing a series of traumatic punctures on the skin. The result of this is that the skin responds to this by naturally producing collagen and elastin to repair itself. The production of collagen and elastin work to smooth and firm the skin, plumping out deep lines and improving the indented or red appearance of scars and stretch marks. 

The process of having Dermapen at Dr Leah Cosmetic Skin Clinics will involve an initial face to face consultation with one of our expertly trained Skin Specialists, who will assess your skin and will be able to advise how many Dermapen sessions you will need to achieve your skin goals (usually, this is between 3-6 treatments). 

Dermapen is less invasive than many alternative solutions and you can normally return to your daily activities straight away after treatment, although you may have some mild redness or swelling. 

Dermapen is an effective treatment for the following concerns;

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scarring

• Facial scarring

• Enlarged pores

As well as the face, Dermapen is also suitable for the following concerns on the body;

• Sagging skin

• Stretch marks

How does it work? 

Dermapen uses a microneedling technique to create small, gentle punctures in the skin - the majority of which are simply pushing your pores open temporarily. Your skin reacts to any injury by initiating the healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. 

How many treatments will I need? 

Results are visible following 6 weeks after your initial appointment. For best results, a course of 3 -8 treatments are recommended depending on your skin concerns; 
Skin rejuvenation & Large Pores – 3 treatments recommended 
Acne Scarring & Surgical Scars – 6 treatments recommended 
Loose Skin - 6-8 treatments recommended 

How long will it take? 

The Dermapen session itself lasts for around 20 minutes (although this may vary depending on which part of your body we treat. For example, a stomach treatment will take more time than a facial treatment.)

Who is not suitable for this treatment? 

Before any treatment you will be given the opportunity to consult with a member of the Dr Leah team, who will be able to advise further on any concerns you may have prior to commencing treatment. However, this treatment is not suitable for pregnant and breast-feeding women and those that suffer from keloid scarring.

The Dr Leah Lift, as reviewed in The Metro and The London Evening Standard, was created by award winning Cosmetic Doctor, Dr Leah Totton and is available exclusively at Dr Leah Cosmetic Skin Clinics (Moorgate and Loughton).

The Dr Leah Lift combines the power of 3 different treatments to provide effective, natural results. Dr Leah believes in making her clients look like the best possible versions of themselves (not like someone else!) and as such has pioneered the Dr Leah Lift using three techniques to stimulate your bodies own ability to produce collagen and elastin to firm, lift and naturally rejuvenate the face. This treatment is ideal for lifting the mid-face and sagging jowls, firming the neck and rejuvenating dull complexions. 

Prior to treatment, each client will be offered a complimentary face to face consultation with Dr Leah Totton herself (usually £50), where your suitability for this treatment will be assessed. If you are deemed suitable then the treatment steps will be as follows;

(1) Ultherapy Ultrasound Facelift 

Ultherapy is a safe, FDA approved, micro-focused ultrasound treatment that effectively targets sagging, loose skin. After just one treatment, a fresher, firmer and more youthful appearance can be achieved without the need for surgery or downtime. 

How does Ultherapy work?

Ultherapy relies on micro-focused ultrasound to bypass the skin’s surface and deliver targeted deep tissue wound healing and the regeneration of important support structures in the skin such as collagen and elastin. By using focused energy alongside ultrasound imaging, the practitioner is able to deliver precise treatment to the location(s) where it will be most beneficial, resulting in an extremely effective lifting treatment. 

If you were to have this treatment as a standalone and not part of the Dr Leah Lift, it would usually cost £2800. 

(2) Silhouette Soft Thread Lift 

Designed to redefine the face for those looking for restored volume and reduced sagging. The thread lift treatment takes approximately 1 hour to perform and involves pulling a thread under the skin of the jaw line and lower face and mechanically pulling it upwards, lifting the mid and lower face to improve sagging.

Silhouette Soft® is a thread lift treatment that represents a safe and highly effective alternative to surgical face lifts and neck lifts. The threads used are made of the same substance that is used for sutures, orthopaedic pins and bone fracture treatments. 

How does a Thread Lift work? 

Thread cones are inserted into the face to lift sagging skin, creating a firmer, younger look. After the treatment, the threads will gradually anchor themselves to your tissue and stimulate the body’s collagen production, creating a smooth, shapely appearance that’s completely natural.  

If you were to have this treatment as a standalone and not part of the Dr Leah Lift, it would usually cost £2100. 

(3) Obagi Blue Radiance Peel 

This peel is one of the leading medical skincare treatments currently available and Obagi exclusively use only the most effective prescription-strength ingredients to repair, regenerate and transform your skin. The Obagi Blue Radiance Peel is a gentle light to medium peel which, in just 30 minutes, leaves you with radiant, glowing and smoother skin.

If you were to have this treatment as a standalone and not part of the Dr Leah Lift, it would usually cost £90.

How do they work?

Peels are a simple, fast and highly effective way to achieve radiant skin - and can even be used to dramatically lessen the effects of more serious skin conditions such as skin damage. Chemical peels break down the bonds between the skin cells, speeding up the natural process of exfoliation. By 'peeling' away the top layer of skin, dead skin cells are removed and smoother, more radiant skin is left.

Are they painful?

No! Depending on the peel, most people feel a warm sensation and tingling.

What peels do you do?

We only work with the most innovative and results-driven treatments that are available from brands such as Obagi and DermaQuest;

Profhilo- New Treatment

Profhilo is in between a skin booster and filler which delivers hyaluronic acid via a small syringe 3mm into the skin. The gel like formula spreads beneath the skin like honey, stimulating collagen and elastin and provides an instant, smoother, glowing skin, smoothing fine lines.

How does it work? 

As a stabilised product Profhilo lasts in the skin around 28 days. During this time the stimulation of 4 different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of Hyaluronic acid. The gel like formula acts in a way filler couldn’t, stimulating collagen and elastin and attracting water into the deeper layers of the skin.

The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Therefore we cannot say that Profhilo is a skin booster as it also has a significant tightening / lifting effect on the tissue.

Where can Profhilo be used?

Profhilo is most commonly used for facial areas, but can also effectively be used for rejuvenating the neck, décolleté, arms, knees and hands. Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments currently on offer at Dr Leah Clinics.

 What is the result? 

After just a single course of Profhilo, which involves two injectable treatments four weeks apart, clients can expect to see an intense hydration. It makes the skin glow and fine lines can disappear. You’ll notice smoother, tighter skin. Even for those clients with wrinkled, creepy skin, an improvement in the texture is undeniable. The treatment can be repeated after six months in cases where more repair is desired.

Are there any risks or side effects and what is the down time? 

Profhilo was launched in February 2015 in Italy. It’s been used worldwide ever since. Over 150,000 patients have been treated so far with no adverse reactions reported. From a safety perspective, Profhilo is highly biocompatible. That’s because it is made from ultrapure, natural Hyaluronic Acid and is stabilised without the addition of chemical cross-linking agents. This reduces the risk of adverse reactions. The product has also won numerous awards. 

The downtime is minimal. When injected using the five-point technique on each side of the face, each insertion is immediately noticeable. However, they start diffusing very quickly and they disappear completely by next day.

 How quickly will I notice results?

Optimum results from treatment will be visible four weeks after the course of Profhilo, which involves two injectable treatments four weeks apart. Clients can expect to see an intense hydration with glowing skin and fine lines minimised. You’ll notice smoother, tighter skin. Even for those clients with very wrinkled skin, an improvement in the texture is undeniable. 

Results last 6 to 9 months*
