Natural Lifting & Rejuvenation Without Surgery
Skin laxity is one of the most visible signs of aging. Facial and body threads are a modern, minimally invasive treatment that delivers immediate lifting, firmness, and a youthful appearance—without the need for surgery.
This is a safe, nearly bloodless method that combines both aesthetic and regenerative benefits by stimulating the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, effectively restoring its lost elasticity.
What Are Threads?
Threads are biocompatible, absorbable sutures (typically PDO or PDO COG) that are inserted under the skin using a fine needle—no incisions required. They are placed at specific depths and directions, creating a supportive “mesh” that:
- Provides instant tissue lift
- Stimulates collagen production over time
- Improves skin tone and firmness
The threads are fully absorbed by the body over a period of 8 to 12 months, while the visible results last significantly longer.
Facial Thread Applications
Facial threads are used to target:
- Jawline definition and contouring
- Sagging cheekbones
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines
- Neck wrinkles and under-chin sagging
The result is a naturally lifted and refreshed look, without altering your facial expressions or identity.
Body Thread Applications
Thread lifting on the body is ideal for areas such as:
- Buttocks: for reshaping and lifting
- Thighs & abdomen: to improve firmness and treat sagging skin
- Arms & legs: for skin texture and elasticity improvement
Threads are placed in a mesh-like pattern, triggering the body to regenerate collagen and delivering noticeably smoother, firmer skin.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Who May Not Be Suitable?
Thread lifting is not ideal for:
- Individuals with excessively thin or fragile skin

Every case is unique. Your doctor will assess your skin and determine if thread lifting can safely and effectively meet your goals.
Benefits of Thread Lifting
- Minimally invasive procedure – no incisions, no scars
- Minimal downtime – return to daily activities almost immediately
- Natural-looking and immediate results
- Long-lasting effect (several months or more)
- Boosts collagen production for skin regeneration from within
How the Procedure Works
A local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort.
Fine threads are inserted into the skin using a needle.
The needle is withdrawn, leaving the thread in place.
Over the following weeks, the threads dissolve while collagen production continues, offering natural lift and firming.
Results are often visible right after the procedure and continue to improve over the next 2 months.

Thread lift results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on skin type, age, and lifestyle. The procedure can be repeated as needed to maintain the effect over time.
Aftercare
Recovery is immediate, and most patients return to daily activities right away.
However, following your doctor’s guidance is essential. You should also:
- Avoid intense physical activity: Rest is recommended in the first few days.
- Avoid sun exposure and high temperatures: Stay away from direct sunlight, tanning beds, or saunas.
- Avoid pressure on the treated area: Do not massage or sleep directly on the area.
Use only prescribed skincare products: Follow the doctor’s advice on which products to apply post-treatment.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Thread lifting is generally very safe and well-tolerated.
In rare cases, you may experience mild swelling or redness, which usually subsides within a few days. As with any medical treatment, small risks exist, but serious complications are extremely uncommon.
What’s the Ideal Age for Thread Lifting?
Threads can be used on adult women and men, but the most common age range is 35 and older, when the skin begins to show early signs of sagging.
