A facial thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin using dissolvable sutures (threads). It provides a subtle, youthful lift without the need for traditional facelift surgery. Here’s how it works:
Procedure Steps
- Consultation – A doctor assesses your skin and discusses goals.
- Preparation – The treatment area is cleansed, and a local anesthetic is applied.
- Thread Insertion – The doctor inserts thin, dissolvable threads (made of materials like PDO, PLLA, or PCL) under the skin using a fine needle or cannula.
- Lifting Effect – The threads are pulled to lift sagging areas (like cheeks, jowls, or brows).
- Collagen Stimulation – Over time, the threads stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.
- Absorption – The threads dissolve naturally within 6 to 12 months, but the skin’s lifted appearance lasts longer due to collagen production.
Benefits
