Thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin, providing a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelifts. During the procedure, dissolvable threads, often made of PDO (polydioxanone), are strategically inserted beneath the skin. These threads act as a scaffold, lifting and supporting the tissue to create a more youthful appearance. The threads also stimulate collagen production, contributing to improved skin elasticity over time.
Thread lifts are commonly used to address sagging in the midface, jowls, and neck. The procedure is known for its quick recovery time and minimal discomfort, making it a popular choice for those seeking facial rejuvenation without the downtime associated with surgery.
While results are immediate, the full benefits become more apparent as collagen production continues. Thread lifts offer a subtle yet noticeable improvement in facial contours, making them a sought-after option for individuals looking to refresh their appearance without undergoing invasive surgery.
