Thread Lift Treatments: Non-Surgical Facelift for Youthful, Rejuvenated Skin

A Thread Lift is a minimally invasive, non-surgical facelift that uses dissolvable threads to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate sagging skin. These threads are made from materials like polydioxanone (PDO), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), or polycaprolactone (PCL). They provide an instant lifting effect while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting skin improvement.

Areas That Can Be Treated

  • Face: Cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds, and brows
  • Neck & Décolletage: Tightens loose skin
  • Body: Arms, abdomen, knees, and more

Procedure Overview

Consultation & Skin Assessment
  • The doctor evaluates skin laxity and recommends the best thread type for your needs.
  • Common Thread Types:
    • Barbed Threads: For lifting sagging skin.
    • Smooth Threads: For collagen stimulation and improving fine lines.
    • Twisted (Screw) Threads: For volume enhancement.
Preparation & Numbing
  • The treatment area is cleansed, and marks are made for thread placement.
  • Local anesthesia is injected to minimize discomfort.
Insertion of Threads
  • A fine needle or cannula is used to insert the threads beneath the skin.
  • The doctor gently pulls the threads to lift and reposition sagging areas.
  • Threads anchor into deeper skin layers for structural support.
Trimming & Adjustments
  • Excess threads are trimmed, leaving the invisible portion beneath the skin.
  • The skin is massaged to ensure optimal thread placement.
Post-Treatment Care
  • A cooling mask or cream is applied to reduce swelling.
  • Most patients can return to normal activities within 24–48 hours with minor restrictions.

Benefits of Thread Lift Treatments

Instant Lifting Effect
  • Provides immediate lifting on the face, jawline, cheeks, and neck.
  • Defines facial contours for a more youthful appearance.
  • Boosts collagen and elastin, improving skin elasticity.
  • Enhances skin firmness and texture over time.
  • No cuts, stitches, or major incisions—only small entry points.
  • Performed under local anesthesia, eliminating the need for general anesthesia.
  • Quick procedure (30–60 minutes) with minimal discomfort.
  • Resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
  • No long recovery periods like traditional facelifts.
  • Immediate lifting effect lasts 12–24 months as threads dissolve.
  • Collagen production continues to maintain results even after the threads dissolve.
  • Enhances facial contours without creating an unnatural “pulled” look.
  • Gradual collagen stimulation ensures a smooth, youthful appearance.
  • Works on the face, jawline, neck, brows, and even body areas like arms, abdomen, and knees.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a thread lift work?

A thread lift uses dissolvable threads (PDO, PLLA, or PCL) inserted beneath the skin to lift sagging areas and stimulate collagen production. The threads provide an immediate lifting effect, while collagen gradually enhances skin elasticity over time.

  • Face: Cheeks, jawline, jowls, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines
  • Neck & Chin: Reduces sagging and improves contour
  • Brows: Lifts drooping brows for a refreshed look
  • Body: Arms, abdomen, knees, and buttocks
  • Immediate lifting effects are visible right after the procedure.
  • Results improve over 2–6 months as collagen production increases.
  • Effects typically last 12–24 months, depending on the type of threads and individual skin conditions.
  • The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so pain is minimal.
  • You may feel mild pressure or tugging during the thread insertion.
  • Some post-treatment soreness or tightness is normal and resolves within a few days.
  • Minimal downtime: Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
  • Mild swelling, bruising, or tightness may last a few days.

How a Thread Lift Works

Local Anesthesia & Marking
  • Local anesthesia is applied to numb the treatment area.
  • The doctor marks the skin to guide thread placement.
Inserting the Threads
  • A fine needle or cannula inserts dissolvable threads beneath the skin.
  • Threads are strategically placed to lift sagging areas (e.g., jawline, cheeks, neck).
Lifting & Anchoring
  • The doctor gently pulls the threads to lift and tighten the skin.
  • Threads anchor in place, providing an immediate lifting effect.
Collagen Stimulation Begins
  • Over the next 2–6 months, the threads stimulate collagen production.
  • This process improves skin elasticity, firmness, and texture.
Threads Dissolve Naturally
  • The threads gradually dissolve over 6–12 months.
  • Even after the threads dissolve, the collagen boost maintains the lifting effect for 1–2 years.
