The procedure
Subtle, Lasting Lift
How does French face lift work?

The French Lift is great for addressing sagging jowls, dropping cheeks and nasolabial deep folds. This facilitates advanced procedure, which involves specially paired tiny polypropylene sutures, a biocompatible material that people can trust as it is a material used in eye and heart surgeries. Unlike other thread lifts, these sutures are non-dissolvable and non-barbed so they will not harm the surrounding facial tissue. They are meticulously implanted through small incisions made near to the hairline so they will be almost unnoticeable. Once it is in place, the sutures raise and restore fat pads to their natural position on your cheeks while keeping everything anchored nicely.

Elegant, Sculpted Renewal
What results can a French Lift provide?

>A French Lift renews the face for a more youthful, tailored appearance. By lifting skin and facial tissue, it improves the jawline and neck line for a more sculpted appearance as well as provides support by resuspending loose tissue to recreate youthful facial contours.

Treatment Duration
How long does this procedure take?

It’s a relatively quick process, generally lasting about 60 to 90 minutes for most people. This small outpatient procedure should have you back home in no time. They put a few steristrips on the cut, which come off after 1 to 2 days.

Enhancing Results
Can you pair French Lift with other aesthetic procedures?

To maintain ageless beauty and always look your best, it is recommended to have a Hydrafacial treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. This interval takes into account factors such as your skin type and specific skin concerns, following general guidelines to achieve optimal results.

Maintaining Good Skin After a Series of Hydrafacials:

Once your skin is in good condition, you can transition to a maintenance phase to keep it healthy and rejuvenated. As individual skin needs vary, it is best to consult your skin doctor for a personalized treatment plan that suits you.

Lasting Lift Care
How long do the threads last?
  • Avoid Sun Exposure:
    Reduce the risk of skin irritations by avoiding sun exposure before your scheduled treatment.
  • No Use of Harsh Chemical Products:
    Prevent skin sensitivity by avoiding harsh chemical products.
  • Stay Hydrated:
    Drink plenty of water to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment on your skin.
  • Inform Your Doctor:
    Notify your doctor of any current medical conditions or allergies to ensure the customized treatment is safe for you.

Can I Wear Makeup After My Treatment?

It is advisable not to wear makeup immediately after the procedure, as the serums are still being absorbed by the skin. When you do resume wearing makeup, it is best to use products that are mineral-based and non-comedogenic to avoid clogging pores and to extend the benefits of the treatment.
