Thread Lift In Edmonton: Elevate Your Look
As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity, leading to sagging and the formation of wrinkles. For those seeking a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate their appearance, a thread lift offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelifts. This procedure subtly lifts and tightens the skin, providing a refreshed and youthful look without the need for extensive surgery.
Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre is renowned for Thread Lifts, featuring internationally trained experts Dr. Alhallak (PhD) and Dr. Tomi (MD), who have advanced training from South Korea and have published research in cosmetic aesthetics.

Thread Lift Edmonton Results
Following a thread lift procedure, patients can expect an immediate improvement in skin tautness and a subtle lift in the treated areas. The threads not only provide an instant lift but also stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness over time.
Recovery is typically swift, with most individuals resuming their daily activities within a few days. Optimal results become more apparent over the following weeks as collagen continues to build, with effects lasting between one to three years, depending on individual factors.

Combining Thread Lifts with Other Non-Surgical Treatments
To further enhance the rejuvenating effects of a thread lift, many patients opt to combine the procedure with other non-surgical treatments. For instance, dermal fillers can restore lost volume, while Botox injections can smooth out dynamic wrinkles. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we offer personalized treatment plans that integrate multiple modalities to achieve harmonious and natural-looking results.
Understanding the Different Types of Threads Used
There are various types of threads utilized in thread lift procedures, each designed to address specific concerns. PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are commonly used for their safety and effectiveness in collagen stimulation. Other types include PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) and PCL (Polycaprolactone) threads, which differ in longevity and firmness.
Our experts will recommend the most suitable thread type based on your individual needs and desired outcomes. We only use Health Canada approved Threads in our clinic
