What is a Thread Lift
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to lift and tighten sagging skin.
How it Works
Thread lift works by inserting biodegradable threads, usually made of polydioxanone (PDO), into specific areas of the face or body. These threads have tiny barbs or cones that grip onto the underlying tissues and lift them upwards. The threads stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps improve skin elasticity and firmness. Over time, the threads dissolve, but the collagen continues to provide a lifting effect.
What it Treats
Thread lift is primarily used to address mild to moderate signs of sagging or drooping skin. A thread lift can target areas such as the cheeks, jawline, neck, eyebrows. This treatment is suitable for individuals who want a subtle lift and rejuvenation without undergoing invasive surgery. It can help improve the appearance of loose skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and restore a more youthful contour to the face or body. However, it’s important to note that thread lift may not be suitable for individuals with significant skin laxity or those seeking dramatic changes.
