Is The Threadlift For You?

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Crepey necks, saggy jowls, a disappearing jawline, depressed-looking nasolabial folds. Did you know that signs of ageing creep up on people slowly starting from the mid to late twenties and make their assault on our skin known usually by our 40s. But even if the unfortunate eventually happens, you can change from bull-frog to fabulous with non-invasive treatments, particularly with the advent of nifty age reversal procedures such as theadlifting.   The Threadlift Consider the threadlift a renovated version of the surgical facelift. It is done by doctors to tackle sagging skin and folds. Unlike the surgical facelift, the facial threadlift is considered non-invasive because it doesn’t require surgery, incisions or manipulation of deep tissues. What it does is it allows the doctor to improve one’s looks by repositioning skin back to its youthful position.   Should You Do The Threadlift? First things first, there is nothing wrong with looking older. But the desire to hide the ageing process is imbued in all of us, hence the theory of “ageing Continue Reading

Forget Brows: Women Are Now ‘Thread’-Lifting Their Faces

Lisa WilliamsLeave a comment

BY LISA WILLIAMS The Newest Extreme Dermatology Promises Dramatic Results With Less Downtime If eyebrow threading makes you uneasy, honey, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Queen of off-kilter beauty extremes (remember vagina steaming?) Gwyneth Paltrow has another treatment for you to think about: The Threading Face-Lift. A recent GOOP article on her popular blog explored the ins and outs of the “under-the-radar” method for anti-aging which was approved by the FDA ten years ago. So what exactly is the draw of giving your face the ‘thread-lifting’ treatment? That would be the fact that’s it’s scalpel-free, has a lower downtime and is relatively low-cost compared with other, more invasive treatments, but comes with a bigger payoff of greater lifting capacity compared to run-of-the-mill lasers and creams. Blame silent screen-era director D. W. Griffith for the cult of perfection in Hollywood (and the rest of the world): His pioneering closeups arguably led to generations of actors (supposedly everyone from Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo to Burt Lancaster and John Wayne) becoming plastic surgery guinea Continue Reading

My Quest for a Sharper Nose without Surgery

Lisa WilliamsLeave a comment

BY LISA WILLIAMS Though my nose is perfectly straight and sits well proportioned on my face, the somewhat bovine curve at the bottom bothered me. Not the curve, per se, but a childhood memory related to it. When I was about six, my mother casually mentioned my nose looked like Miss Piggy’s—which, in itself, is not a bad thing to say except no woman wants to grow up to resemble a porcine cartoon character. A few months later, forgetting all about her comment and the fact that I have a spectacular memory, she said, “Miss Piggy has a really ugly nose.” This caused an unintentional scar that remained on my psyche; I would never pose for pictures in profile. I was convinced it wasn’t my best face forward. However, I am a real coward when it comes to surgery. The furthest I have gone in my foray into the medical world was a blood test for my annual health screen. Hence, my dilemma.   Jumping into the deep end When I found Continue Reading
