Thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that is used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, and other areas of the body. It involves the use of special sutures (threads) that are inserted under the skin and used to lift and reposition the skin to a more youthful position.

Thread lift is a popular treatment option for patients who are looking for a non-surgical way to address sagging skin and other signs of aging. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and can be performed in-office with minimal downtime.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

During a thread lift procedure, a healthcare provider will insert small threads into the skin using a fine needle. These threads have tiny barbs or cones that help to anchor them in place and hold the skin in a lifted position. As the threads are inserted, the provider will gently manipulate the skin to create a natural-looking lift.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between thread lift and a facelift?

Thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that involves the use of threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. Facelifts, on the other hand, are surgical procedures that involve making incisions to lift and tighten the skin. While thread lift can provide some improvement in skin laxity and volume, facelifts tend to produce more dramatic and longer-lasting results.

Is thread lift painful?

Thread lift is generally a well-tolerated procedure, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort or pain. Local anesthesia is typically used to numb the treatment area, which can help to minimize any discomfort.

How long does thread lift take?

Thread lift typically takes around 30-60 minutes to perform, depending on the size and number of treatment areas.

What is the recovery time for thread lift?

Most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately following the procedure, with little to no downtime required. Some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.

How long do the results of thread lift last?

The results of thread lift can vary depending on the type of thread used and the patient’s individual skin type and condition. In general, results can last for several months to a year or more.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with thread lift?

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with thread lift. These can include infection, bleeding, bruising, and temporary numbness or asymmetry in the treatment area. It’s important to discuss any potential risks or concerns with your healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.

How many threads are needed for a thread lift?

The number of threads needed for a thread lift can vary depending on the size and location of the treatment area, as well as the desired results. Your healthcare provider can help determine the appropriate number of threads needed to achieve your desired outcome.

Can thread lift be combined with other cosmetic treatments?

Thread lift can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as fillers or Botox, to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Your healthcare provider can provide more information about combining thread lift with other treatments.
