“Cat Eyes” or “Foxy Eyes” do exactly what their name promises, an upward lift of the corner of the eyes, making the eyes more slit, but also an upward lift of the corner of the eyebrows.
This treatment is particularly popular nowadays and many women are asking for it because of young Instagram influencers who want to look like supermodels Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. It is also a choice of older women who are looking for an affordable option to treat hooded eyes.
The threads offer collagenogenesis, from the very first day of their placement, but also gradually during their biodegradation, in the following months. Threads are in fact a "foreign body" that enters the skin and this is enough for the body to activate mechanisms that stimulate the healing processes, for the production of collagen and elastin.
This helps to tighten the skin and maintain the upward shape, where the threads were placed. The more threads we place, the better result we will have.
Plasma Pen - Plasma Soft Surgery is another technique, with which we achieve correction of the corner of the eye and correction of the corner of the eyebrow, without surgery and with excellent results. The Plasma Pen works by ionizing the air particles, between the headpiece and the skin, to form the plasma, which in turn causes the skin to sublimate.
Therefore, the results are instant, with immediate skin’s contraction, which activates the processes of skin injury and "awakening" the fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin, thus contributing to the tightening and lifting of the skin, in the places where the treatment was applied.
The cost of Cat Eyes - Foxy Eyes is determined by the type of threads you choose to have and the number of threads you put in. In our Clinics the Cat Eye Lift with Threads starts from 200 euros and all our medical protocols are at affordable prices.
After cleansing and disinfecting the skin, the Doctor marks the entry points of the threads and applies local anaesthesia, so that the procedure is completely painless.
After a while, the treatment begins and depending on the extent of the area, where the threads will be applied, will last from 20 to 45 minutes. Extremely fine needles or special atraumatic cannulas are used, which carry the threads inside them. By inserting the needle or cannula into the skin and then removing it, the internal thread is left in the place, which was predetermined by the Doctor, to achieve a lift. When the Doctor pulls the threads, it is likely to feel a gentle pull, but nothing uncomfortable. When the desired lift is achieved, the excess of each thread is cut and the procedure is completed.
At this step, you are given detailed instructions by the Doctor and the number of threads and their placement areas are recorded in your medical file. If PDO threads have been used in your treatment, no immediate difference will be visible on your face, as with PDO threads the first improvement starts to be visible in one month. On the contrary, if GOG threads have been used, then a first result will already be visible, immediately after your treatment. We say a first result, as in the near future the threads will show daily improvement, as long as they biodegrade and collagenogenesis is achieved at the same time.
Although it is a non-invasive treatment, there are a few things you should know before your appointment:
For preparing your skin, it would be good to come 30 minutes before your appointment, in order to apply local anaesthetic cream to the treated area.
In addition, your skin should be clean and if possible you should come to your appointment with no makeup.
Before the treatment, it is advisable to avoid taking aspirin, anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory medications one week before your treatment.
Also avoid taking vitamins and multivitamin preparations, for at least one week before the treatment, as these are substances that increase the bleeding tendency and consequently the risk of bruising.
Also, avoid drinking alcohol 24 hours before having your treatment.
Once the treatment is complete, a special antibiotic cream will be applied to the entry points to prevent any infection.
You may experience swelling or bruising in the application area and in this case, we recommend using a special arnica cream on a daily basis for 7-10 days, as well as, using ice cold packs.
Also, it is good to avoid wearing make-up for the first 1-2 days, until the skin and specifically the threads’ entry points are healed.
It is recommended to avoid intense physical exercise and intense facial massage, for at least a week, in order not to damage the suspension of the threads in case GOG threads have been used.
Also, if there is any facial aesthetic treatment in your upcoming schedule (facial cleansing or other aesthetic treatments accompanied by therapeutic massage), it is advisable to wait 1-2 weeks, so as not to put pressure on the areas where the threads were applied.
For the first few days, try to sleep on your back rather than on your side to avoid putting pressure on the treatment areas.
Cat Eyes Lift is one of the Signature treatments of Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinic. It is a non-surgical treatment that uses threads to lift the corner of the eyebrow upwards and helps open up the eye.
Truth: As we mentioned above, when the threads are placed by certified Doctors, this means that they are placed at the correct anatomical depth under the skin and are not visible at all. Of course, the experience and technique of the Doctor plays a decisive role, as well as the use of approved medical quality threads. Unfortunately, we have come across cases, with irreversible damage from threads, which were done by non-doctors and for this reason we advise you to be very careful, to whom you will trust your face.
Truth: It depends on the type of threads. With PDO threads this never happens, as the PDO threads stay exactly where they were placed by the Doctor, until they are naturally absorbed by the body over a period of 6 -12 months. On the other hand, with COG threads, what can happen is that they gradually lose the degree of support they initially had, when they first were placed.
This can happen for three reasons: either because of thread strain or poor thread integration or poor thread quality. The strain is mostly related to how much one takes care of his face after application. Thus, people who exercise very intensively and exert pressure on the facial muscles, mechanically strain the threads more and that means that these can more easily move or even break.
Poor integration has to do with the way the threads are placed, the quality of the facial collagen and the choice of threads in general. It is very important to make a correct choice of good and quality threads, as well as a careful selection of the people that will benefit from the use of threads.
Truth: Truth: Of course not, as the result you will get with threads is completely controllable. You will be able to see it first of all, when it is done by the Doctor and you can directly comment on it. Moreover, our aesthetic approach in Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinics, is that we always create natural results, which bring improvement and harmony to the faces, without disfiguring them.
Threads, provided that are done by qualified Doctors, have no significant side effects, except perhaps of swelling and bruising. An important principle of success is the right choice of Doctor, as this is a purely medical procedure. The mistakes that can lead to failure of threads for this procedure are the poor quality of materials, their poor application (since if they are not placed at the right depth, the correct support of the skin will not be achieved), the small number of threads used and finally the high expectations from the patient.
The application of Cat Eyes - Foxy Eyes threads cannot take place in the following cases:
