In the field of cosmetic dermatology, Dr. Bara Maty, a dermatologist and the Medical Director at CosmeSurge, is known for her expertise in non-surgical facelifts in the UAE. With over six years of experience, Dr. Maty has been a pioneer in the thread-lift revolution, offering patients an alternative to traditional surgical procedures. Her goal is to provide natural, long-lasting results with minimal downtime for her patients. Many patients prefer non-surgical options, as fillers can make the face appear larger, and Botox may not be sufficient on its own. This is where thread lifts come into play.
Thread lifts involve dissolvable threads inserted under the skin to gently lift and tighten the face. What sets this procedure apart is its ability to stimulate collagen production. The threads contain hyaluronic acid, known for its moisturizing properties and healing benefits, which help rejuvenate the skin and deliver a more youthful appearance over time. Dr. Maty emphasizes that threads not only lift but also rejuvenate the skin by encouraging collagen production, resulting in longer-lasting, natural results.
Ideal for individuals concerned about sagging skin, mild to moderate wrinkles, and loss of volume in the face, thread lifts offer full results within a month and have a recovery time of only about two days, with potential swelling lasting up to five days. Despite the clear benefits, Dr. Maty points out that not everyone is a suitable candidate for thread lifts. Patients with excessive skin sagging or significant collagen and muscle tone loss may not achieve optimal results with this procedure, and surgical options might be more appropriate for them. Furthermore, pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with certain autoimmune disorders should avoid thread lifts.
Choosing the right patient is crucial, as not all individuals will respond well to thread lifts based on their skin and collagen levels. With prices ranging from Dh6,000 to Dh20,000, thread lifts offer an affordable, minimally invasive option for those seeking facial rejuvenation without the risks and downtime associated with surgery. Dr. Maty highlights the evolution of technology in this field, noting that non-invasive procedures began with permanent threads over 20 years ago. However, newer threads provide better collagen stimulation and lifting power, making them safer and more effective than fillers for many patients.
Dr. Maty believes that thread lifts represent the future of facial rejuvenation for patients seeking a refreshed, natural look without the drastic changes associated with surgery. She considers it the safest and most natural way to achieve the desired lift for individuals looking for facial rejuvenation. Overall, thread lifts offer a promising alternative for those who want to enhance their appearance without undergoing traditional surgical procedures while still achieving natural-looking results.
