Thread Lifting

What is thread lifting?

Thread lifting is a non-surgical facial tightening technique that uses dissolvable medical threads inserted under the skin with a specialized needle. These threads support and lift the skin in the desired direction. They have small barbs that act like hooks to tighten the skin immediately after the procedure and stimulate continuous collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. The results are visible immediately after the procedure, with no downtime or surgery required.

Principles of Thread Lifting

The dissolvable threads used in the procedure are placed beneath the skin in the appropriate layer. Subsequently, the body experiences a “minor inflammation” response, which signals the initiation of collagen and elastin production. The threads gradually dissolve within 6 to 12 months, but the resulting collagen remains, leading to firmer, more elastic, and more defined skin. The results of thread lifting are not limited to facial lifting; they also help restore and strengthen the skin’s structure in the long term.

Key Advantages of Thread Lifting

Thread lifting is ideal for those seeking a natural facial lift without prolonged recovery time. Often referred to as the “Lunchtime Facelift,” it takes only 30–60 minutes to complete. The skin appears noticeably firmer immediately after the procedure, with results becoming more pronounced over the next 1–2 months as new collagen is produced. This technique also helps contour the face, enhance facial definition, address sagging cheeks, and improve overall skin firmness.

Who is this suitable for?

Thread lifting is suitable for individuals who have mild to moderate skin sagging. Designed to enhance facial contours without surgery, this treatment is suitable for all genders and ages starting from 30 years old. It is particularly ideal for those seeking to restore skin structure, address sagging cheeks, jawline, or facial contours, and achieve a more defined and youthful appearance. Additionally, it can be combined with other procedures such as fillers, Botox, or HIFU to enhance lifting and contouring results for a complete facial rejuvenation.
