Treatment (Thread Lift)
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin using dissolvable sutures (PDO, PLLA, or PCL threads). These threads stimulate collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time. Unlike a traditional facelift, a thread lift offers natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Benefits of a Thread Lift
- Lifts & Tightens Skin – Immediate lifting effect with continued collagen stimulation.
- Non-Surgical & Minimal Downtime – No incisions or long recovery period.
- Stimulates Collagen Production – Improves skin elasticity and texture.
- Long-Lasting Results – Effects last 12-18 months as new collagen forms.
- Versatile Treatment Areas – Effective for the face, neck, jawline, and body.
Best Areas for a Thread Lift
- Face: Jawline, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines.
- Neck & Décolletage: Improves loose skin and fine lines.
- Eyebrow Lift: Creates a subtle “fox-eye” effect.
- Under-Eye Area: Reduces mild sagging and improves firmness.
- Body: Used for arms, abdomen, and knee skin tightening.
Types of Threads Used
- PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads: Best for collagen stimulation and skin tightening.
- PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) Threads: Longer-lasting results and firmer skin.
- PCL (Polycaprolactone) Threads: Provides the longest-lasting collagen stimulation.
Thread Lift Procedure: What to Expect
- Consultation & Assessment – A dermatologist evaluates your skin and customizes the treatment.
- Local Anesthesia Applied – Ensures a painless experience.
- Thread Insertion – Fine threads are placed under the skin using a cannula.
