What is Thread Lift?
A Thread Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift and tighten the skin, resulting in a rejuvenated and youthful appearance.
Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure where temporary sutures are used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. This procedure provides an alternative to a traditional facelift, offering a quick recovery time and less risk. The threads used in the procedure are made of biodegradable materials that dissolve over time, stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity.
The treatment is effective for lifting sagging cheeks, jowls, brows, and neck, providing a natural and subtle lift without the need for incisions or general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated. Patients can see immediate lifting effects, and the results continue to improve as the threads stimulate collagen production over the following months.

How Thread Lift Works?
The Thread Lift procedure begins with a consultation where the practitioner evaluates the patient's facial structure and discusses their goals. During the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort. Thin threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) or other biodegradable materials are then inserted under the skin using fine needles or cannulas. The threads are carefully positioned to lift and support the sagging tissues.
Once the threads are in place, they are gently pulled to lift the skin and achieve the desired contour. The threads have tiny barbs or cones that grip the underlying tissues, holding them in the elevated position. As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen production, which helps to maintain the lift and improve skin texture and firmness.
The procedure typically takes less than an hour, and patients can return to their normal activities shortly after. Some swelling and bruising may occur, but these effects usually subside within a few days. The lifting and tightening effects of a Thread Lift can last up to 18 months, and maintenance treatments can be performed to sustain the results.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
The process starts with a thorough consultation to assess facial structure and discuss the patient’s aesthetic goals. A customized treatment plan is developed.
Step 2: Preparation and Anesthesia
The treatment area is cleansed, and local anesthesia is applied to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
Step 3: Insertion of Threads
Fine threads are inserted under the skin using needles or cannulas. These threads are strategically placed to lift and support sagging skin.
Step 4: Lifting and Positioning
The threads are gently pulled to lift the skin, and the barbs or cones on the threads secure the tissues in the elevated position, creating a natural lift.
Step 5: Post-Procedure Care
Patients receive detailed instructions for post-procedure care, including avoiding strenuous activities and massaging the treated areas to ensure optimal results.
Step 6: Follow-Up and Maintenance
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor results and determine if additional treatments are needed. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the lifting effects.
