Thread Lift

Thread Lift

A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that provides a visible facelift effect without the need for traditional surgery. Using biocompatible, dissolvable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) or polylactic acid (PLA), this treatment physically lifts and repositions sagging facial tissue while simultaneously stimulating your body's natural collagen production for ongoing improvements.

The procedure works in two ways: first, the threads create an immediate lifting effect by physically supporting the tissue in a more youthful position. Second, as the threads dissolve over the following months, they trigger your body's healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production around the thread sites. This collagen stimulation continues long after the threads have dissolved, providing improvements that can last 12-18 months or longer.

Thread lifts are particularly effective for addressing mid-face sagging, jowls, loose neck skin, drooping brows, and nasolabial folds. They can also be used to define the jawline and create a more contoured facial profile. The procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia for your comfort.

Recovery is significantly shorter than surgical alternatives, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. Some swelling, bruising, and tenderness are normal and typically resolve within 1-2 weeks. Results continue to improve over the following months as collagen production increases.
