A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck.
How does a thread lift work?
Threads are inserted under the skin using a needle, creating a lifting effect and stimulating collagen production as they dissolve.
Who is an ideal candidate for a thread lift?
Ideal candidates are individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are looking for a non-surgical alternative to a facelift.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery time is minimal, with most people returning to normal activities within a few days.
How soon will I see results?
Results are usually visible immediately, with continued improvement over several months as collagen production increases.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last 1 to 2 years.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort at the insertion sites. Rare side effects can include infection or thread migration.
Can a thread lift be combined with other treatments?
Yes, thread lifts can be combined with treatments like fillers, Botox, and laser therapy for enhanced results.
How often can I get a thread lift?
Thread lifts can be repeated as needed, typically every 1 to 2 years to maintain results.
