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
✅ 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
▸ APTOS threads – Bidirectional barbs for stronger support
Recovery & Aftercare
✔ Swelling/bruising – 3-5 days
✔ Avoid extreme facial movements for 1 week
✔ Sleep on back for first few nights
✔ Final results visible at 4-6 weeks
Ideal Candidates
• Mild-to-moderate skin laxity
• Those wanting refresh without surgery
• Patients in 30s-50s (or older with good skin quality)
