Thread lifts with Dr. Dominic St-Amour

General practitioner and medical director at the Medicart Montréal clinic.

Why choose thread lifts instead of injections?

Thread lifts have a significant advantage over hyaluronic acid injections given their ability to reposition tissue without creating the bulk effect sometimes associated with injections. For those who want to avoid a bulky appearance, thread lifts offer significantly greater satisfaction.

What happens during an appointment? Is it painful?

During the first appointment, we assess whether the treatment is right for the patient and map out the number of threads along with their positioning. Another appointment is then made for the procedure, which generally takes between 1 and 1.5 hours. For pain, local anesthesia techniques are used to minimize any discomfort.

Will I always have a thread under my skin?

The thread is gradually absorbed over a period of approximately six months. Meanwhile, it acts as a biostimulant, improving skin texture and extending results for up to two years or even longer.

Why did you train to be able to offer this treatment to your patients?

The choice to offer thread lifts comes from the changing trends in aesthetic medicine, where patients seek to avoid the excess volume seen in certain celebrities. Plus, many patients prefer to avoid plastic surgery and the associated recovery period, so threads often are a suitable answer.

Did you know?

The results of thread lifts are partly immediate, but they will continue to improve over the weeks, even months.
