This new painless half hour procedure will have you glowing and wrinkle-free
True beauty, they say, is timeless — just look at Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! But as we grow old, our contours start to fall and we lose facial fat. The most affected areas generally include cheeks, eyebrows and other areas around the eyes, jowls and neck. You’ll suddenly see yourself getting a double chin and wonder where that came from! Not to worry, there’s something in store for you. There are magical threads that will make you look fabulous in just couple of
minutes.
Magic Pro Threads is an innovative anti-ageing treatment that has been rapidly gaining popularity in India. It is commonly used to lift the brows, define the sagging jaw line and reduce your wrinkles and double chin. It employs fine threads made of a biodegradable material known as polydioxanone, which is dissolved by the body with time. It is an extremely safe and skin-friendly process since polydioxanone is an absorbable suture material and has been used for more than 20 years in various types of surgery without any history of side-effects.
It is a lunch-time procedure and can be done within 20 to 30 minutes. In most cases, a numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before the treatment to ensure complete comfort.
The threads are then inserted into the skin without any cuts or incisions with the help of a fine needle. These threads have a tiny barb which causes an immediate mechanical lift of the treated area by lifting the skin. This leads to smoothening of the lines and wrinkles. It also generates tighter and firmer skin over a period of 10 to 12 weeks by stimulating new collagen and elastic. The results last for up to three years. Thus, these threads have both immediate and longer lasting results of contouring, reshaping and tightening the face giving the desired look.
There is zero to minimal downtime so it can be done without any break in routine activities. There may be mild redness or swelling which will settle down within a few hours. It is recommended to undergo the procedure with a certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to achieve the optimal results without any adverse effects.
