What is Thread Lift ?
Overview A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. The treatment stimulates collagen production, resulting in a more youthful, lifted appearance. Thread lifts are a popular alternative to traditional facelifts, offering subtle yet effective results without the need for surgery or extended downtime.
Causes Sagging skin and loss of facial volume are natural signs of aging, caused by a reduction in collagen and elastin over time. Genetics, lifestyle factors, and environmental exposure can also contribute to skin laxity, making individuals seek treatments that restore a firmer, more youthful look.
Solutions Thread lifts offer a non-surgical solution by physically lifting sagging areas, such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck. The procedure stimulates collagen production, which helps maintain a lifted appearance while improving skin texture and elasticity.

Procedure During a thread lift, thin, dissolvable sutures are inserted under the skin using a fine needle. The threads are then pulled tight to lift the skin, and the procedure takes about 30-45 minutes.
Recovery There is minimal downtime, though mild swelling or bruising may occur, which usually subsides within a few days. Results are visible immediately and improve over the next few months as collagen is produced.
