Younger in an hour!

As far as the latest buzz in the world of beauty goes — Beauty Lift is a rage  amongst several Asian celebs. Hollywood A-listers like Jennifer Aniston and Catherine Zeta-Jones have allegedly tried the procedure. A one hour procedure, the effects of the  lift  lasts up to two years!

This non-surgical facelift entails using resorbable threads. The threads used are made of polydioxanone, a material used in medicine for many years, mainly in surgery. Researches state that PDO stimulates the neocollagenesis, encouraging the production of new collagen in the skin.

The Cog PDO thread is inserted into the skin through a very fine needle. The Beauty Lift rejuvenates, regenerates and improves the texture of the facial skin sans a surgery.

A lifted appearance can be observed immediately after the treatment. However, the results will improve with the following days, as the Cog  PDO stimulates neocollagenesis, which in turn produces collagen.

The overall texture of the skin is improved; it becomes thicker, tighter and firmer while open pores, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothened away. Different lengths of thread are used for different areas of the face. Short strands of threads can be used to treat fine lines around the eyes, while thicker strands can be injected into the cheek area or jaw line.

The threads are extremely versatile and can be used all around the face and neck, typically for wrinkles on the forehead, sagging brows, drooping cheeks, sagging jawline, neck and folds.

Since it’s performed in under one hour with minimal downtime, the Beauty Lift is certainly one procedure that’s here to stay!
