What Is Thread Lifting?

Thread lifting is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses absorbable threads to lift and tighten the skin. It provides a subtle lifting effect by physically repositioning the skin and stimulating the body’s natural healing response to produce collagen, improving skin firmness and elasticity.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and the threads are inserted into the skin using a fine needle. Once in place, the threads act as a scaffold, helping to lift sagging skin on areas such as the face, neck, and jowls. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind a framework of newly formed collagen that continues to support the skin.

One key advantage of thread lifting is its minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, and the results can last up to 18 months, depending on the type of threads used and the individual's skin condition.

It is also important to note that thread lifting suits various skin types and ages. It can be an excellent option for those seeking a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures like a traditional facelift. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, it is crucial to have a detailed consultation with a qualified professional to determine the best approach for your individual needs and goals.
