Neck

Introduction:

The COG Threads Lift for the neck is a revolutionary aesthetic treatment designed to combat the visible signs of ageing in one of the most delicate areas of the body. Over time, the neck can lose elasticity, leading to sagging skin and the formation of horizontal lines. This non-surgical procedure utilises advanced Polydioxanone (PDO) threads to mechanically lift tissues while simultaneously stimulating the body’s natural regenerative processes. It offers a sophisticated alternative to surgical neck lifts, delivering a tighter, smoother profile with minimal downtime.

Benefits:

• Immediate Lifting Effect: Instantly tightens sagging skin and redefines the angle of the neck and jawline.
• Collagen Stimulation: The threads provoke a natural healing response, boosting collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation.
• Smoother Texture: Helps to reduce the appearance of horizontal neck lines and crepey skin.
• Minimally Invasive: A safe, non-surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic, avoiding the risks and scars associated with surgery.
• Quick Recovery: Most clients return to their daily routine almost immediately, making it a “lunchtime lift.”
• Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy a rejuvenated appearance for up to 12-18 months.
• Personalised Approach: Threads are positioned strategically to address your specific concerns and anatomical needs.

Procedure:

1. Consultation: A thorough consultation with our aesthetic specialist is essential to assess skin laxity, discuss your expectations, and ensure you are a suitable candidate.
2. Preparation: The neck area is cleansed and disinfected. A local anaesthetic is applied to the entry points to ensure the procedure is virtually painless.
3. Thread Placement: Using a fine, sterile cannula, the PDO threads are inserted into the subcutaneous tissue. The “cogs” or barbs on the threads anchor to the skin, allowing the specialist to lift and tighten the tissue.
4. Sculpting: The specialist gently adjusts the threads to smooth the skin and achieve the desired contour.
5. Completion: The ends of the threads are trimmed, and the entry points are sealed.

The entire process takes approximately 45-60 minutes.

Contraindications and Safety:

We prioritise your safety above all else. This treatment is not suitable for individuals who:

• Have active skin infections, acne, or inflammation in the neck area.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Suffer from autoimmune diseases, keloid scarring tendency, or blood clotting disorders.
• Have known allergies to PDO materials.

All procedures are conducted in a clinical environment adhering to strict hygiene and safety protocols.

Results and Aftercare:

You will see an immediate improvement in the tightness of your neck skin. As the threads dissolve over the coming months, they leave behind a matrix of new collagen, meaning the results continue to improve for 2-3 weeks post-treatment.

To ensure optimal healing:

• Avoid wide movements of the neck and strenuous exercise for 7-10 days.
• Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights.
• Do not massage the neck area or undergo other neck treatments (like radiofrequency) for at least 4 weeks.
• Apply SPF daily to protect the treated area from sun damage.
