The Thread Lift That Doesn’t Use Needles

There’s no pain, no bruising and very little downtime – but you’ll look better after the treatment.

You’ve heard how a thread lift can lift saggy skin so the face looks rmer and more youthful. The aesthetic procedure uses thin threads with small “hooks” on them, which are injected through a large hollow needle into areas where the skin is sagging. The hooks then cling to the skin and pull, creating the lift. It sounds scary if you don’t like needles.

Mirage Aesthetic’s new No Entry PDO Thread Lift Treatment gives you the effects of a thread lift – without the needles. Products are all gently massaged into the skin so they will penetrate it deeply.

Needle-less, how?

The aesthetic centre makes use of the latest aesthetic technology from South Korea, called Transfer Double Nanosphere. The treatment ingredients are stored in these nanospheres, tiny capsules that are easily absorbed into the dermis. The dermis is the layer of skin where the most collagen production takes place.

The treatment has ve steps. First, the skin is cleansed and exfoliated with a combination of alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids to help open up “tunnels” in the skin.

Encapsulated PDO threads are then massaged all over the face. The threads ow down the open tunnels into the dermis, seeking out areas that require tightening. Once the “targets” are found, the capsules release the threads, which are said to work in the same way as a conventional threadlift. A gel mask is applied to seal the ingredients in.

Following that, a hyaluronic booster is applied to hydrate the skin and enhance absorption of the threads. The last two steps focus on supercial rming: a lifting gel and a hightension ampoule tighten the skin surface.

After the 90min treatment, you should see an instant lifting effect, especially in the eye area and cheeks.

The no-needle benet

The Transfer Double Nanosphere technology allows the whole face to benet from the lifting effect, not just a targeted area (which is what a conventional thread lift would give you). And as the skin isn’t pierced by needles, there’s little risk of bruising or pain, and little downtime.

For longer-lasting results, Mirage Aesthetic recommends that the treatment be done once a week for the rst month. Results are said to be similar to those of a conventional thread lift, lasting six to eight months. The treatment is now available at a promotional price of $280 for rst-time customers.
