Watch | New ‘puppet facelift’ does the trick without knives

<p>Facelift without knives? This new technique called 'puppet facial' claims to give a youthful appearance by manipulating sagging muscles with threads. Threads are pulled by needles through the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue to the layer of collagen. The doctor then manipulates slack muscles in much the same way as a puppeteer moves his puppets. This particular procedure is part of an exhibition for members of the beauty trade and Dr. Amanda Wong Powell from Courthouse Clinics is in charge.</p><p>The 'puppet facial' is aimed at women aged between forty and sixty and is not suitable for women who have a great deal of sagging skin, or for women who have undergone a great deal of weight loss. It isn't cheap to have the treatment, it costs just under a thousand pounds ($1,520) for two strands to be threaded. Pizzamiglio argues it is still a good option for many middle aged women who aren't ready, or don't want a surgical facelift.</p>
