Why Choose a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is ideal for individuals who are looking to improve the appearance of sagging skin without having to undergo extensive surgical procedures. Moreover, it’s particularly suited for those who are willing to undergo minor injections and are seeking an immediate lifting effect.
In addition to being a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation, this option offers a more convenient alternative with significantly less recovery time compared to a facelift. Therefore, it appeals to those who prefer subtle yet significant enhancements to their appearance.

How Does a Thread Lift Work?
The thread lift procedure utilizes Polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are carefully inserted into the deeper layers of the skin. These threads are strategically placed to achieve three key effects, as outlined below:
Instant Lift: First and foremost, the threads mechanically lift sagging skin, thereby providing immediate results.
Cellular Renewal: Additionally, the insertion of the threads stimulates collagen production while improving circulation through neovascularization. This process, in turn, enhances skin texture, reduces fine lines, and improves elasticity.
Skin Tightening: Furthermore, the threads help contract underlying fat tissue, which tightens the skin and results in a firmer overall appearance.
Over time, as the PDO threads dissolve naturally, the body’s healing process continues to work, further improving skin quality and firmness. Consequently, this creates long-lasting effects that enhance the overall outcome.
Areas That Can Be Treated with a Thread Lift
A thread lift can be used to rejuvenate multiple areas of the face and neck, including:
- Under-eye area
- Eyebrows
- Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to mouth)
- Naso jugal folds (under-eye lines)
- Wrinkles around the mouth
- Jawline
- Neck
This versatility makes the thread lift an ideal solution for treating various signs of aging and skin laxity.
Is a Thread Lift Safe?
The thread lift provides a safe and minimally invasive treatment option, offering a clear advantage over other cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers or older thread lifting techniques. It actively reduces the risk of complications, making it a reliable choice for many patients.
Since the procedure uses needles to insert the threads rather than relying on surgery, it minimizes the chances of side effects like infection or thread breakage. Additionally, the body fully absorbs the threads within 6 to 8 months, further lowering the risk of adverse effects. This combination of safety and effectiveness ensures a smoother and more predictable recovery process.
How Long Do Thread Lift Results Last?
The effects of a thread lift are noticeable immediately, as the threads actively lift and reposition the skin while providing structural support. During the first week following the procedure, the skin might feel slightly tighter. However, this initial tightness gradually diminishes, revealing a more natural look.
By the 1- to 2-month mark, the full benefits become evident, including enhanced skin texture, increased firmness, and improved smoothness. The outcome may vary depending on the treatment’s primary goal, whether it focuses on rejuvenation or lifting.
Although PDO threads dissolve after approximately 9 months, their benefits often extend beyond this timeframe due to ongoing collagen production. To maintain optimal results, many practitioners recommend repeating the procedure every 6 to 9 months. With consistent treatment, the effects can last up to 3 years.
