A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that:
✔ Lifts sagging skin on face & neck
✔ Uses dissolvable threads for natural results
✔ Stimulates collagen production for long-term improvement
How It Works
The Procedure
-
Fine threads inserted under skin using tiny needles
-
Threads gently pulled to lift tissues
-
Barbed or smooth threads anchor skin in new position
Duration: 45-90 minutes (under local anesthesia)
Best Treatment Areas
🔹 Mid-face lift (cheeks, nasolabial folds)
🔹 Jawline definition
🔹 Neck & chin tightening
🔹 Brow lifting
Key Benefits
✅ No surgery – Minimal incisions
✅ Immediate lifting effect
✅ Collagen stimulation improves skin over 3-6 months
✅ Downtime: 2-3 days (vs. weeks for facelift)
✅ Lasts 12-18 months
Thread Types
▸ PDO threads – Most common, dissolve in 6-8 months
▸ Silhouette Soft – Longer-lasting with cones for extra lift

✔ Avoid extreme facial movements for 1 week
✔ Sleep on back for first few nights
✔ Final results visible at 4-6 weeks
