How do under-arm thread lifts work?
An under-arm thread lift is a relatively simple non-surgical procedure that is performed by a medical doctor. The procedure can take as little as 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your needs. Hence, a consultation with the doctor performing the procedure is necessary to determine the best approach to cater to your needs.
After receiving a local anaesthetic, threads are inserted under the skin to lift and tighten the targeted areas. Over time, the threads may stimulate collagen production to provide longer-lasting results.
The Benefits of Under-arm Thread Lift procedures
Some of the benefits of under-arm thread lifting procedures using Aptos threads may include:
- The double-action treatment: Immediately lifts and tightens the region under the upper arms as well as provides rejuvenation over time as the threads dissolve.
- Aptos threads are specifically designed to provide more support to the surrounding tissue.
- The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthetic. Thus, there is no need to undergo surgery.
- Minimal downtime – most people can continue with their day as per normal and immediately return to work after the procedure.
- Quick and convenient appointment times – 30-60 minutes.
- Immediately evident results.
- Stimulates collagen production and microcirculation.
- Long-lasting effect – 18-24 months.
Can thread lifting procedures help with the areas under my arms?
Thread lifting procedures can be applied to a number of areas on the body, not just the face and neck. Consequently, thread lifting procedures may be able to provide immediate and long-lasting results to rejuvenate the areas under your upper arms.
Additionally, thread lifting procedures are specifically designed to support, tighten and lift the skin including areas under the upper arms. In fact, upper-arm thread lifts are a relatively safer alternative to arm lift surgery. This is because there are a number of risks associated with surgery and general anaesthesia including infection, pneumonia, scarring, blood clotting and allergic reactions.
Furthermore, surgery also entails a significantly longer recovery time when compared to a thread lift. An under-arm thread lift procedure only takes 30-60 minutes and once complete, most people can continue with their day as per normal including returning to work the same day.
