As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity and firmness, resulting in the development of wrinkles and sagging. Many individuals consider facelift surgery to address these concerns; however, not everyone is comfortable with undergoing a surgical procedure. Luckily, advancements in aesthetics medicine have introduced non-surgical alternatives to traditional facelifts. Dr. Shafaq Ramay, a leading aesthetics physician at the Lemonade Clinic in Islamabad, offers two highly effective non-surgical procedures: PDO thread lifting and liquid lift with dermal fillers.
PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lifting is a non-surgical facelift technique that utilizes absorbable threads to lift and tighten the skin. These threads are inserted underneath the skin and gently pulled to provide a lifting effect. The PDO threads stimulate collagen production, which further enhances the skin’s tightening and rejuvenation process.
Procedure
The PDO thread lifting procedure can be performed under local anesthesia at the Lemonade Clinic. Dr. Shafaq Ramay first marks the areas to be treated, typically involving the cheeks, jowls, and neck. A tiny incision is made, and the PDO threads are carefully inserted under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once the threads are in place, they are gently pulled to lift and tighten the skin. The excess threads are then trimmed, and the incision is closed.
PDO thread lifting offers numerous benefits, including:
- Non-surgical: Unlike traditional facelift surgery, PDO thread lifting is a non-surgical procedure that requires minimal downtime. Patients can typically resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment.
- Natural results: The PDO threads stimulate the production of collagen, which results in natural-looking and long-lasting results. The skin becomes tighter and firmer over time.
- Customizable treatment: PDO thread lifting can be customized according to each patient’s needs and desired outcome. Dr. Shafaq Ramay assesses each patient individually and tailors the treatment plan accordingly.
Liquid Lift with Dermal Fillers
Liquid lift is another non-surgical technique offered by Dr. Shafaq Ramay at Lemonade Clinic to rejuvenate the face and achieve a youthful appearance. This procedure involves the strategic placement of dermal fillers to restore volume, lift sagging skin, and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
Procedure
Dr. Shafaq Ramay starts by assessing the patient’s facial structure and determining the areas that require volume enhancement. Dermal fillers, composed of substances like hyaluronic acid, are then injected into specific areas to restore volume and reshape the face. The liquid lift procedure typically takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on the individualized treatment plan.
Benefits
Liquid lift with dermal fillers offers several advantages, including:
- Non-invasive: Liquid lift is a non-invasive procedure that does not require incisions or anesthesia. Patients can undergo the treatment without any downtime or recovery period, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
- Natural-looking results: Dermal fillers help smoothen wrinkles, plump sagging skin, and restore lost volume, resulting in natural-looking and rejuvenated facial features.
- Quick and effective: Liquid lift procedures are quick, usually taking less than an hour. Patients can see immediate results after the treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks as the fillers settle and stimulate collagen production.
Dr. Shafaq Ramay at Lemonade Clinic in Islamabad offers two highly effective non-surgical facelift options: PDO thread lifting and liquid lift with dermal fillers. These innovative procedures provide patients with the opportunity to achieve a youthful and rejuvenated appearance without the need for surgical intervention.
