A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure where temporary sutures are used to lift and reposition sagging skin on the face or neck. It provides a subtle but noticeable lift without the need for surgery.

During a thread lift, dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin using fine needles. These threads have tiny barbs or cones that grip the skin and lift it when adjusted. Over time, they stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity.

Ideal candidates are typically individuals in their 30s to 60s who have mild tomoderate sagging of facial tissues and desire a more youthful appearance without undergoing surgery. A consultation with a qualified provider can determine if you are a suitable candidate.

Thread lifts are commonly used to target sagging cheeks, jowls, brows, and the neck. They can also be used to enhance the definition of the jawline and lift drooping corners of the mouth.

Discomfort during a thread lift is usually minimal and manageable. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the treatment area before the procedure begins. Patients may experience mild soreness or bruising afterward, which typically resolves within a few days to a week.

Results of a thread lift are immediate, with further improvement over several months as collagen production increases. While individual results vary, the effects generally last around 1-2 years. Maintenance treatments can prolong results over time.
