How do eye trough thread lifts work?
Eye trough thread lifting is a relatively simple, non-surgical procedure that may be performed by a medical doctor. The procedure may take between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your personal requirements. A 30 minute consultation with the doctor performing the procedure is necessary to ascertain the most appropriate approach to accommodate your needs. We start with a local anaesthetic to numb the area below the eyes. Afterwards, threads are inserted underneath the skin in order to tighten and lift the targeted area. Over 18-24 months, these threads are designed to dissolve and stimulate collagen production to offer longer-lasting results.
Are eye trough thread lifts painful?
As local anaesthetic is used, the procedure itself is almost painless. During your short recovery period, you may experience swelling and redness; however, this is usually mild and is resolved within a few days to 2 weeks.
