Treatment Type:
THREAD LIFTING
Overview
Thread lifting is a non-surgical method of lifting sagging skin using dissolvable threads inserted beneath the surface. These threads help reposition the skin and stimulate collagen, creating a firmer, more contoured look. It’s commonly used on the jawline, cheeks, and neck, and is often seen as a bridge between fillers and a facelift.
Why People Choose It
Wanting visible lift without surgery
Targeting sagging in the cheeks, jowls, or neck
Hoping to extend the effects of previous filler or Botox treatments
Treatment Experience
A numbing agent is applied, then threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine cannula or needle. You might feel some tugging or pressure, but not sharp pain. The whole session typically lasts 30–60 minutes. There may be swelling, tightness, or slight bruising afterward, but downtime is usually minimal. Results are visible immediately and improve over a few weeks.
Pros
Instant Lift: Skin looks noticeably firmer right after treatment
Collagen Boosting: Threads stimulate collagen for longer-term improvement
Minimally Invasive: No cutting or surgical recovery needed
Cons
Temporary Tightness: You might feel stiff or “pulled” for a few days
Not for Deep Sagging: Less effective on severe laxity compared to surgery
Bruising or Asymmetry: Minor bruising and uneven results can occasionally happen
