Soft Lift™ is a revolutionary non-surgical resurfacing and lift procedure. Designed to create a more supple, firm facial surface that virtually eliminates sags and wrinkles, Soft Lift™ can be thought of as a combination of Juvederm® and BOTOX® treatments. The procedure can be performed on the entire facial surface or targeted to one or more problem areas.
At Pender MediSpa, we provide our clients with all the necessary pre-procedure information and are happy to discuss all available treatment options. Soft Lift™ patients experience little or no downtime after the treatment is complete, and the positive results can last for up to two years or more.
Who Is A Candidate For Soft Lift™?
Most facial skin conditions connected to aging are treatable using the Soft Lift™ procedure. These include sagging brows, crow’s feet, loss of cheek volume, frown lines, and corner-of-mouth marionette lines. Unlike many treatments that merely burn away the upper levels of the dermis, the threading technique used with Soft Lift™ treatments refastens sagging skin and builds up a more firm layer of the epidermis.
Those who have drooping skin in the cheek area are perfect candidates for this type of non-surgical procedure. Middle-aged individuals often experience thinned skin in certain areas of the face, particularly around the eyes and near the lips. The Soft Lift™ treatment plumps these areas and increases the production of collagen, the result being firmer, softer skin with no stretch marks.
What The Procedure Involves
During a Soft Lift™, a small needle is inserted below the epidermis layer. The needle contains little threads that are made of polydioxanone. These threads are thinner than a human hair. The threads are absorbable and eventually melt away. While they are in place, the threads strengthen the lower dermis layers and help build up a firm structure, one that lasts for quite a long time.
Patients familiar with BOTOX® treatments will understand how the insertion of threads works. The procedure takes only about 50-60 minutes. Once the threads are in place, the small insertion points will heal by themselves. No overnight bandaging is required in most cases.
The meshwork pattern of the threads supports newly formed dermal layers made firm by the production of collagen. The area lifts and sagging lines are eliminated. After about three months, collagen fibers will have expanded in size to more than five millimeters in a radius around each insertion point.
After The Procedure
Patients may wish to conceal the needle insertion points using makeup. This is perfectly acceptable. The usual daily routine can be continued without interruption. Some swelling may occur, but this usually disappears in less than three days.
Those who complete this type of treatment will find that their results last longer if they protect the skin against the sun’s rays. Using a sunblock lotion is advised. As with all types of lift treatments, the skin will remain firm and supple for a longer period if an advanced cleansing and moisturizing regimen is followed. The threading procedure itself can be repeated one or two years later.
