Keeping your chin up. "The lunchtime facelift" at Mills&Mills Medical.

Marbella 14th October: Turkey necks and flabby chins are as much a giveaway to your age as crinkly eyes but there is now an easy cost effective way to reduce these wrinkles and achieve a beautiful angled jaw.

Beauty counters are crammed with creams and lotions that are said to tighten and lift the jaw area and with regular use I am sure that we would see a difference.

However for those of us wanting more instant results it is now truly possible to look dramatically younger in just over an hour with a revolutionary non-surgical facelift that genuinely lifts and tightens the skin with superb lasting results.

Dr Delia Martinez,one of the leading surgeons at Mills&Mills Medical says" the treatment has many advantages as it is not as invasive as a surgical face lift. Only local anaeasthetic is required so patients do not need to have an overnight stay at a hospital. The recovery time is minimal and yet the results can be seen within one hour".In fact Dr Martinez who performs the treatment at Mills&Mills was so impressed with the results she has actually had the procedure herself.

But how does the procedure work? Basically it is as its name suggests,fine bio-compatible threads are inserted underneath the facial tissue using a special thin needle. One end of these miracle threads grabs and lifts the sagging skin whilst the other end anchors the skin to the rest of the tissues in the face. No extensive cutting is required and so there are no telltale facelift scars. Threadlifts have been successfully used in other medical applications for many years. Other areas can be treated too like the brow and face.

Because the threadlift is performed under local anaesthetic it means it is a walk-in walk-out procedure. There is less bruising and swelling resulting in less "downtime" And further good news is that the cost is significantly lower than a full surgical facelift.

The threadlift can last up to 5 years but if you feel that your chin is starting to sag more threads can be added. It is great for those of us who are not ready for a facelift but just want to get rid of our baggy jaw lines. It's a great confidence boost too and for those of us with busy lives it appeals because there is little or no downtime.
