A thread lift is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin in the face, neck or other body parts. It is referred to as a "lunchtime procedure" because it can be performed relatively quickly with minimal downtime.
During a thread lift procedure, fine threads made of biodegradable material, such as polydioxanone (PDO), are inserted into the skin using a thin needle or cannula. These threads have small barbs or cones that anchor into the tissue and provide a lifting effect when they are gently pulled. The threads stimulate collagen production, which further improves skin elasticity and firmness over time.
Our dermatologist will perform a detailed examination of face or body part which needs to be treated. After evaluation of skin condition doctor will discuss your goals and expectations and determine if you are a suitable candidate for a thread lift.
Not all patients can benefit from thread lift. After numbing the treatment area threads are inserted into the skin using a needle or canula. These threads are positioned strategically to lift and tighten the target areas. You may experience mild discomfort, swelling after the procedure but these usually subside within a few days.
The results of a thread lift are immediate, but the full effects become more noticeable as the collagen production is stimulated and the skin gradually tightens. The duration of the results can vary depending on factors such as the individual's age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits. Generally, the effects of a thread lift can last for around 1 to 2 years.
