Thread Lift Treatment
Thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that gently lifts sagging skin on the face and neck. Get natural-looking results with minimal downtime and no scars.
Thread Lift
A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to subtly lift and tighten sagging skin, giving the face a more youthful appearance. It works by inserting dissolvable threads beneath the skin, which not only lift the tissue but also stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Collagen helps improve skin firmness and elasticity, which gradually declines with age. This procedure offers noticeable results with minimal downtime and a low risk of complications, making it a popular choice for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
What is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that gently lifts sagging or aging skin while stimulating natural collagen production. It helps rejuvenate the face or neck, giving a more youthful and refreshed appearance. During the procedure, a plastic surgeon inserts medical-grade threads beneath the skin to reposition and support tissue. These threads also trigger the body’s healing response, encouraging collagen regeneration for firmer, smoother skin.
Unlike a surgical facelift, a thread lift provides subtle, natural-looking results without incisions or long recovery time. It’s often referred to as a “lunchtime facelift” because the procedure is quick and typically requires minimal downtime.
Types of Thread Lifts
Various types of thread lifts target specific areas of the face and neck:
Cat or Fox Eye Thread Lift: Lifts the outer corners of the eyes toward the temples to create a feline, elongated eye shape.
Eyebrow Thread Lift: Elevates sagging or furrowed eyebrows, tightening the skin around the brow area.
Nose Thread Lift: Enhances the shape of the nose by lifting, slimming, or straightening it using threads, sometimes combined with dermal fillers.
Neck Thread Lift: Smooths and tightens loose or crepey skin on the neck for a firmer look.
How Long Do Thread Lift Results Last?
Thread lift results are not permanent but can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally and are absorbed by the body. If desired, the procedure can be repeated to maintain or enhance the results.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Thread Lift?
Thread lifts are ideal for individuals showing mild to moderate signs of aging, typically in their late 30s to early 50s. Good candidates:
Have mild skin laxity and want to lift sagging areas.
Prefer subtle, natural-looking improvements over dramatic changes.
Want to avoid or postpone cosmetic surgery.
Are looking to refresh results after a previous facelift or neck lift.
May have medical conditions (like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease) that make traditional surgery riskier.
Because it’s minimally invasive and low-risk, a thread lift is a suitable option for many people who want rejuvenation without going under the knife.
Is a Thread Lift Worth It?
A thread lift offers subtle lifting and tightening with minimal downtime, making it an appealing option for many. Whether it’s worth it depends on your goals and expectations.
Ask yourself:
Are you seeking a short-term enhancement or long-lasting results?
Do you prefer a subtle refresh or more noticeable transformation?
Is your skin mildly loose or severely sagging?
Are you open to surgery, or do you want to avoid it?
If your goals align with what a thread lift offers, it may be a worthwhile option to discuss with your plastic surgeon.
Is a Thread Lift Painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the treatment. Afterward, you may experience mild discomfort, soreness, or tightness in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and can typically be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain relievers. Most people return to daily activities within a few days.
