Thread Lift
Thread Lift is a non-surgical procedure that tightens sagging or loosened skin on the face and neck by stimulating collagen production, restoring a youthful appearance. In this technique, special bioresorbable threads are placed under the skin to lift the facial tissues upward, creating a natural lifting effect. The skin is rejuvenated both mechanically and biologically over time. 🌸
What Is a Thread Lift?
Thread lifting is a modern aesthetic treatment designed to support skin that has lost its elasticity due to aging. The procedure typically uses threads made of PDO (Polydioxanone), PLA (Polylactic Acid), or PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid). Once inserted under the skin, these threads both lift the tissues and stimulate collagen synthesis. As a result, there is an immediate tightening effect followed by gradual skin firming over time. 💫
How Is a Thread Lift Performed?
First, a facial analysis is performed to determine the best thread placement according to the direction of sagging. The area is cleansed with an antiseptic solution, and local anesthesia is applied for comfort. Using fine cannulas, the threads are inserted under the skin and gently pulled upward to reshape the facial contours. The procedure takes approximately 45–60 minutes. The lifting effect is noticeable immediately, with full results developing in 2–3 weeks. ✅
Advantages of a Thread Lift
This method is ideal for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation without surgery. Main advantages include:
• Lifts the face and neck without surgical incisions. • Provides an instant lifting effect. • Stimulates collagen production for long-term rejuvenation. • Preserves natural facial expressions. • Short procedure with minimal downtime. • Results last approximately 1.5–2 years. 🌿
When Is a Thread Lift Recommended?
Thread lifting is effective in addressing sagging and loss of elasticity associated with aging. It is commonly performed in cases of:
– Loss of definition in the facial contour, – Cheek drooping, – Eyebrow descent, – Neck laxity, – Undefined jawline, – Desire for non-surgical facial rejuvenation. 💡
Mechanism of Action
The threads mechanically lift the tissues upward in the treated area. At the same time, the biocompatible material in the threads stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This biological process improves skin firmness, enhances blood circulation, and restores a youthful appearance. 📌
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, the face should not be washed or makeup applied for the first 24 hours. For the first week, excessive facial movements should be avoided, and sleeping on the back is recommended instead of on the side. The skin should not be rubbed or massaged. Sunscreen use is essential. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but subsides within a few days. 🌞
Duration of Results
The effect of a thread lift begins immediately and reaches its peak after 2–3 weeks. The results typically last 18–24 months. Regular skincare and supportive treatments such as Gold Needle Radiofrequency can help prolong the effects. 💧
Combination Treatments
Thread lifting can be combined with procedures such as Endolift Laser, Gold Needle Radiofrequency, Morpheus8, or Dermal Fillers for enhanced results. These combinations amplify both lifting and skin-rejuvenating effects. 🌿
