Elevate your skin with Thread Procedures.
Thread procedures (also known as thread lifts or thread rejuvenation) involve inserting fine, dissolvable threads under the skin to lift and tighten sagging skin and improve the overall appearance of the face and body.
A thread lift is a non-surgical technique designed to elevate sagging, aging skin and promote collagen production, resulting in a more youthful appearance of the face or neck.
Advanced practitioners utilize medical-grade threads placed underneath the skin to reposition the skin. These threads stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to an increase in collagen production.
Compared to a traditional facelift, a thread lift offers subtle changes and is considered a non-invasive procedure. Often referred to as a “lunchtime facelift,” it is known for its quick application and minimal downtime.

What are Thread Procedures?
Cosmetic thread procedures, also known as thread lifting or thread rejuvenation, are non-surgical cosmetic procedures that use specialized threads to lift and contour sagging or aging skin. The threads are made of materials such as PDO (polydioxanone) or PLLA (polylactic acid), which are absorbable by the body and have been used safely in surgical sutures for many years.
During the procedure, the threads are inserted into the skin using a thin needle or cannula. Once inserted, the threads are gently pulled to lift and reposition the skin and superficial fat pads, providing a more youthful and lifted appearance. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which can further improve the skin’s texture and firmness over time.
Cosmetic thread procedures can be used to lift and contour areas such as the cheeks, jawline, brows, and neck. The procedure is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime, making it a popular alternative to traditional surgical facelifts.
It’s important to note that cosmetic thread procedures should only be performed by a trained and experienced medical professional, as there are potential risks and complications associated with the procedure.
Types of Thread Procedures
Collagen stimulating threads and lifting threads are two different types of threads used in thread procedures, and they serve different purposes.
Collagen Stimulating Threads
Collagen stimulating threads are designed to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. These threads are made of materials such as polydioxanone (PDO) or polycaprolactone (PCL), which are biocompatible and dissolvable. When these threads are inserted into the skin, they create tiny injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing process, which includes the production of new collagen. As the threads dissolve over time, the collagen fibers remain in the skin, helping to improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity.
Lifting Threads
Lifting threads, on the other hand, are designed to physically lift and support sagging skin. These threads are usually made of a material called polydiaxanone (PDO). When these threads are inserted into the skin, they provide an instant lift by repositioning and supporting the underlying tissue. Over time, the threads also stimulate the production of collagen, which helps to maintain the lifting effect even after the threads have dissolved.
So, while both collagen stimulating threads and lifting threads can improve the appearance of sagging skin, they work in different ways. Collagen stimulating threads improve skin quality by promoting collagen production, while lifting threads provide an immediate lifting effect and also stimulate collagen production over time. The choice between these two types of threads will depend on the specific needs and goals of each individual patient.
What areas can I treat with threads?
Thread procedures can be used to treat a variety of areas on the face and body. Here are some common areas that can be treated with threads
PDO Threads for the Face
A cosmetic thread procedure offers mirror-like effects of the more invasive, surgical face-lift procedure without the added pain and hassle.
Treatment areas: Forehead Lines, Brown Droop, Frown Lines, Crow’s Feet, Acne Scars, Bunny Lines, Smile Lines, Lip Lines, Marionette lines, Jowls
PDO Threads for the Body
Reduce the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs, giving a slight lift to breasts and knees while minimizing sagging skin all over.
Treatment areas: Upper arm, Breast Lift, Elbow, Tummy Tuck, Thigh Lift, Calf Lift, Décolleté, Cleavage, Armpit, Love Handles, Buttock Lift, Knee Lift
Types of Threads
There are several types of thread procedures used in cosmetic medicine. Here are some of the most common ones
PDO Threads
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are one of the most popular types of threads used in cosmetic procedures. They are made from a biocompatible, absorbable material that is commonly used in surgical sutures.
PDO threads come in different types, such as smooth and barbed, and are used to lift and tighten sagging skin.
PCL Threads
PCL (polycaprolactone) threads are another type of absorbable thread used in cosmetic procedures.
They are thicker and more durable than PDO and PLLA threads and are used for lifting and contouring in areas such as the mid-face and jawline.
PLLA Threads
PLLA (polylactic acid) threads are another type of absorbable thread used in cosmetic procedures.
They stimulate collagen production and can provide long-lasting results. PLLA threads come in different types, such as smooth and barbed, and are used to lift and tighten sagging skin.
Silhouette Threads
Silhouette threads are a type of barbed thread that can provide immediate lift and contouring. They are made from a biocompatible material that is commonly used in surgical sutures. Silhouette threads are used to lift sagging skin in areas such as the cheeks, brows, and neck.
It’s important to note that the type of thread used will depend on the patient’s individual needs and the area being treated. A skilled and experienced medical professional can help determine the best type of thread and technique for each patient.
Benefits of Threads
Non-surgical: Thread procedures are a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift surgery. This means that there is little to no downtime, and patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately after the procedure.
Immediate and long-lasting results: Thread procedures can provide immediate lift and contouring to the treated area, and the results can last up to 12-18 months, depending on the type of thread used.
Minimally invasive: Thread procedures are minimally invasive, meaning that they require only small incisions or needle punctures to insert the threads. This can result in less scarring and a quicker recovery time.
Stimulates collagen production: Threads can stimulate collagen production in the treated area, which can further improve skin texture and firmness over time.
Customizable: Thread procedures are highly customizable, meaning that the threads can be placed in specific areas to address the patient’s unique concerns. This allows for a more personalized approach to facial rejuvenation.
Natural-looking results: Thread procedures can provide natural-looking results, without the stretched or over-pulled appearance that can occur with traditional facelift surgery.

Thread Procedure FAQ
In this FAQ section, we will answer some common questions about cosmetic thread lift procedures. Whether you’re considering a cosmetic thread lift or just curious about the procedure, this section will provide you with valuable information to help you make an informed decision.
Please reach us at i[email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
How do PDO threads work?
Using a cannula to place barbed threads, I am able to lift superficial fat pads back up into their proper place, providing a nice “lift” to the face (improving “jowls” and “smile lines”) and to the neck (improving sagginess under the chin and defining the jawline).
Does the Thread Lift procedure hurt?
I provide anaesthesia in the form of lidocaine injections at the entry sites and along the pathway of the cannulas, so you will feel pressure with the procedure, but not severe pain. The lidocaine injections do sting, but are typically well tolerated.
How long will results from a Thread Lift last?
Longevity of results can vary patient to patient, but typically results last about one year.
How long does the Thread treatment take?
Including paperwork, numbing, and the procedure, it takes about one hour.
What can I expect after the procedure?
- You will have some swelling and bruising for up to a week, but typically patients immediately return to their normal routine.
- You will have tenderness for up to two weeks; you can take Tylenol and Ibuprofen to help with this. Icing as much as possible the first 48 hours helps minimize swelling, bruising, and discomfort.
- You will need to avoid strenuous exercise (especially high impact activities) for 2-4 weeks, depending on how quickly you heal.
- You will need to avoid going to the dentist for two weeks after your procedure and avoid opening your mouth extremely wide for two weeks.
- Don’t plan any big social events for one week after your procedure.
