Lifting and Smooth Threads
Thread lifting is a minimally invasive technique for facial rejuvenation. The so-called “lunchtime facelift,” it involves little downtime and a low risk of complications with excellent aesthetic results. This technique uses absorbable PDO sutures to provide a powerful mechanical lift to the face, often with an impressive immediate result. Long-term, the absorbable PDO suture also stimulates collagen production which results in healthier, firmer skin.
The immediate benefits of thread-lifting include:
-
increase in cheek projection
-
reduction of the nasolabial groove
-
refinement of the jaw line with reduction or disappearance of the jowls
This method is best suited for men and women with:
-
mild to moderate facial descent
-
jowls
-
sagging eyebrows
-
loosening of neck skin
Thread lifting is an in-office procedure that does not require general anesthesia and avoids scarring. The most common side effects are mild bruising and edema.
