Before InstaLift Thread Lift Treatment
Before the thread lift procedure, the patient is usually asked to come for a pre-procedure visit or consultation visit. During this visit, their eligibility for the procedure is determined, and they are given the details of the procedure. The patients are also asked to follow certain instructions before their procedure date. These include stopping smoking at least a week before the procedure, as it may interfere with the healing. Patients are also asked to avoid taking blood thinners as they may increase the chances of bleeding and post-procedure bruising.

During Thread Lift Treatment
When the patient comes for their thread lift procedure, they are first asked to sit in a relaxed and reclined position on the clinic chair. The areas that are to be treated are first cleaned with alcohol swabs, followed by the administration of topical anaesthesia. The Practitioner or doctor may use a topical cream for this, which is enough to allow a painless and comfortable experience for the patient. Once the target skin is prepared, the Practitioner starts by inserting the thread under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once the thread is in place, the needle is taken out, and the individual is free to go home. The procedure is completed within 40 to 45 minutes.
