Thread Rejuvenation: Unlocking a Youthful Look Without Surgery

Posted on by Angela

There are many anti-aging face creams, serums, and treatments on the market today that help to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles. One treatment to consider is a non-surgical thread rejuvenation.

In this article, we discuss thread rejuvenation in Sydney and how they have the potential to improve your appearance without the need for invasive surgery. This article was also written in consultation with Dr Danae Lim, a Medical Practitioner at Shape Clinic Darlinghurst, who has expertise in the field of aesthetic medicine.

Thread Rejuvenation Explained

Firstly, what is thread rejuvenation? Thread procedure, also referred to as a thread lift or thread rejuvenation, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure using threads to elevate and firm the skin. The threads employed in this procedure consist of absorbable materials that dissolve over time.

Dr Danae Lim says that Shape Clinic offers a selection of polydioxanone threads – PDO for short – which is a type of dissolvable suture material that has been used in the human body for over three decades. The PDO or polydioxanone threads are introduced into the skin through a needle and then gently pulled to lift and tighten the skin. While this procedure is typically performed on the face, neck, and jawline, it can also be applied to other body areas.

The threads used in thread rejuvenation work by encouraging the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins naturally generated by the body and are responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.

Different types of Threads

According to Dr Danae Lim, smooth mono (single) and double (braided) threads were originally used to stimulate collagen and firm the skin when positioned just beneath the skin. But there are other types of threads that provide different outcomes.

Dr Danae Lim explains that she now uses barb threads, screw cog threads and spring coil threads. Barb or cog threads are thicker than other threads and can provide a degree of mechanical lift when inserted into the superficial fat layers of the face and neck.

Screw cog threads, which are not as thick as typical barb or cog threads, can be used to address localised areas of facial heaviness.

Spring coil or filler threads, which resemble the coiled springs found in a ballpoint pen or spring mattress, can be used for volume. Spring coil threads are also used to address specific areas of the face and can provide mechanical lift to the nasolabial folds, cheeks, and jowls.

Benefits of Thread Rejuvenation

Thread rejuvenation is minimally invasive by nature. It can be performed using local anaesthesia and involves short downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days or even on the same day as the procedure. Threads tend to be more cost-effective than other types of treatments.

Patients are often attracted to thread rejuvenation due to the natural-looking results they offer. The threads are discreetly inserted into the skin and become invisible once the skin has healed. This means that there are no noticeable scars or signs of the treatment.

Threads are very versatile as they come in different lengths, types, and thicknesses. This allows for customisation according to each patient’s specific needs and target areas.

What to Expect with a Thread Rejuvenation

The Procedure

On the day of the procedure, the patient will receive a local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area. The Practitioner will then insert the threads into the patient’s skin using a small needle. Once the threads are in position, the Practitioner gently adjusts them, elevating and tightening the skin in the process. The entire procedure usually lasts 30-60 minutes, varying based on the scope of the treatment.

Recovery and Aftercare

The recovery period following the thread procedure is generally brief, and the majority of patients can return to their usual activities within a few days. However, it is advisable to refrain from engaging in strenuous activities and to keep the treated area clean and dry during the initial days post-procedure.

Patients may encounter bruising, swelling, and discomfort after the procedure. These can be alleviated with mild pain relievers and cold compresses. The overseeing practitioner may also suggest a specific skincare routine to support the healing process.

Results

The outcomes of a thread procedure are usually observable immediately after the procedure. However, it can take several weeks for the complete results to become evident as the skin adapts to the new thread positioning.

Here are thread rejuvenation reviews that will give you an idea of what to expect.

Final Thoughts

Thread rejuvenation offers a viable solution for people who wish to address areas of the face they would like to improve without undergoing surgery. However, it is important to recognise that the effectiveness of the procedure can vary from patient to patient.

Research into the procedure and finding a clinic that suits your preferences is recommended when undergoing any cosmetic procedure.

Harnessing Nature’s Power: How Essential Oils Combat Fatigue and Mental Exhaustion

Posted on by Angela

Over the years, essential oils have shown promising benefits as a natural remedy for various ailments. One such area where essential oils have gained significant popularity is in fighting fatigue and mental exhaustion. It is believed that the potent aromatic compounds in essential oils have unique properties that can positively affect our minds and well-being.

In this article, we will explore what essential oils are, how they are made, and how essential oils for fatigue and mental exhaustion can help.

What exactly are essential oils?

Although we all have an image of essential oils when we talk about them, what are essential oils?

Well, essential oils are aromatic concentrates extracted from different parts of plants such as flowers, leaves, bark, roots, peels, and seeds. The oils extracted contain the plant’s distinctive aromatic properties and contain a wide range of active and volatile compounds, including terpenes and phenolics. Each essential oil has its own unique set of compounds that give it different therapeutic properties.

How are essential oils extracted?

There are several methods of extracting essential oils, each involving techniques specifically designed to preserve the compounds within the plant material and their therapeutic potential.

Here are some ways that essential oils are extracted:

Steam Distillation

Steam distillation is a traditional method of essential oil extraction and is most often the method of choice. The method involves a distillation chamber in which plant material is placed, and steam is passed through, causing the release of essential oil molecules from the plant material. The steam and essential oil vapour rise through a cooling system where it then condenses back to a liquid. This condensation is then separated into essential oil and a hydrosol of the plant material chosen.

Cold pressing

This method is often used for citrus-scented essential oils. The process involves taking the peel of a citrus fruit and piercing it before pressing it with a pressurised machine to release the essential oil, juice, and other components. This collected combination of all three is then further separated to retrieve just the essential oil. The concentrates extracted are often used in other organic products.

Solvent extraction

Some delicate flowers require a more meticulous process to extract their essential oils; this is usually the case with jasmine or rose essential oils. Solvent extraction involves immersing the plant material in a solvent that dissolves the essential oils. The solvent is then removed, leaving the essential oil full of compounds.

Essential oils for fatigue and mental exhaustion

Let us now look at how essential oils can be used for fatigue and mental exhaustion.

Traditional systems of medicine, such as Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, have a long history of using therapeutic essential oils. It is believed that inhalation and topical application of these essential oils allows the compounds they contain to interact with the body.

Here is a closer look at how this works:

Stress reduction

It is well known that one of the main causes of fatigue is chronic stress. Certain essential oils such as sweet basil, bergamot, frankincense, or in combination as in the Chill Out essential oil blend from Buckley and Phillips Aromatics contain compounds such as linalool and alpha-pinene. These compounds have an anxiolytic effect, so when inhaled, they can reduce stress and promote relaxation, helping to combat associated fatigue and mental exhaustion.

Improve mood

Fatigue and mental exhaustion are often followed by low mood and depression. Essential oils derived from citrus plants, such as lime essential oil, may contain limonene, which has been shown to have uplifting and mood-enhancing effects. In combination with other oils with similar uplifting and calming aromatic properties, such as in the Peace Essential Oil Blend from Buckley and Phillips Aromatics, it can improve mood and reduce the fatigue and mental agitation associated with emotional distress when inhaled.

Stimulation and energy boost

Some essential oils have more energetic aroma properties that can increase energy when inhaled. Essential oils such as peppermint and eucalyptus with menthol compounds have these stimulating properties. Inhaling them can improve alertness and boost energy.

How essential oils interact with the brain

Now that we understand how essential oils and aromatherapy can improve fatigue and mental exhaustion let’s take a closer look at how it works.

When we inhale the scents of essential oils, we inhale the aromatic molecules that can stimulate our olfactory receptors in our nasal cavity. These receptors send signals to our limbic system, the part of the brain involved in processing emotions, memories, and motivations. Therefore, the unique compounds of each aromatic molecule of different essential oils can improve our fatigue and mental fatigue by activating these areas.

Essential oils can also affect the release and activity of neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in our brain that play a crucial role in transmitting signals between nerve cells in the brain throughout the nervous system. They help regulate a wide range of physiological and cognitive processes. For example, essential oils such as lavender, which have been shown to increase serotonin levels, promote the release of the neurotransmitter associated with feelings of well-being and relaxation. This in turn reduces mental fatigue and exhaustion.

In summary, essential oils can improve mental exhaustion and fatigue through the unique compounds they contain. These compounds, when inhaled or applied topically, promote feelings of relaxation, reduce stress and improve mood, which in turn reduces fatigue and mental exhaustion.
