What is a Thread Lift?
A Thread Lift is a non-surgical facelift that uses special dissolvable threads to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate sagging skin. It’s an excellent alternative to surgery for those who want a natural lift without cuts or downtime.
Threads are inserted under the skin using fine needles and work by:
- Physically lifting the skin
- Stimulating collagen production for long-term firmness
How It Works:
- Medical-grade threads (made of PDO, PLLA, or PCL) are placed under the skin.
- These threads anchor and gently pull the skin upward.
- Over the next few weeks, the threads stimulate collagen, improving skin texture and elasticity.
