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.
