Thread Lift

A thread lift is sometimes called a non-surgical facelift, PDO (Polydioxanone) and PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid) cosmetic threads are primarily used to lift and tighten sagging skin, particularly on the face and neck, and to stimulate collagen production for a more youthful appearance. They are a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, offering long-lasting results.

Practitioners in the US are now able to do body areas lifts that up until recently were only available in Europe, knee lifts, bust lifts (male and female), bat wings (Upper arm), and buttocks lifts, as well as neck and mid face are now all available! 

The procedure involves inserting dissolvable threads (sutures with tiny cones) beneath the skin through a tiny incision, requiring no surgery.   

The threads are inserted into the skin to create tension, lifting and tightening in the area treated. The cones lift and hold the skin in a more youthful position, and the dissolvable threads stimulate collagen production, which further supports the lifted appearance. Dissolvable threads can also improve skin texture and tone by reducing the appearance of scars, acne marks, and other blemishes.  

Dissolvable threads provide both immediate lifting by physically repositioning skin and gradual volume restoration through collagen regeneration. The threads stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which improves skin elasticity and firmness over time.  

The threads (sutures and cones) are made of biodegradable materials like poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and PDO (Polydioxanone).  

Long-lasting results: The lifting effect can last for up to 18 months, with some studies showing results lasting 12 to 36 months. 

Minimal downtime: Patients can usually return to normal activities quickly after the procedure. 

Natural-looking results: The gradual collagen stimulation contributes to a more natural-looking lift. 

Alternative to surgery: It's a much less invasive option for those who want to avoid the downtime and risks of a surgical facelift.
