Thread Lift

A Thread Lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. Using dissolvable sutures made of biocompatible material (like PDO or PLLA), the treatment provides an instant lift while also stimulating collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation.

Benefits of Thread Lift

  • Instant Lift: Provides immediate tightening and lifting of sagging skin.
  • Stimulates Collagen: Encourages natural collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin.
  • Minimally Invasive: No major surgery or long recovery time needed.
  • Natural Results: Subtle, refreshed appearance without looking “overdone.”
  • Quick Procedure: Takes only 30–60 minutes, often called a “lunchtime facelift.”
  • Long-Lasting: Results can last 12–18 months, depending on skin type and lifestyle.

Areas Treated with Thread Lift

  • Cheeks and mid-face
  • Jawline and jowls
  • Eyebrows
  • Neck
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines

How it Works

  • Consultation & Planning – Skin is assessed and treatment areas are marked.
  • Preparation – Local anesthesia or numbing cream is applied.
  • Thread Insertion – Fine threads are inserted under the skin with a thin needle or cannula.
  • Lifting Effect – Threads anchor into place, instantly lifting sagging tissues.
  • Collagen Stimulation – Over time, the threads dissolve while stimulating collagen for firmer, smoother skin.
