As we age, our skin loses elasticity and begins to sag. While surgical facelifts can deliver dramatic results, thread lifts offer a minimally invasive alternative with natural-looking lifting and collagen stimulation. These innovative treatments use biocompatible PDO threads to reposition facial tissues and stimulate your skin's natural healing response.
Thread lifts are ideal for patients seeking moderate lifting of the brows, cheeks, jawline, and neck without the downtime of surgery. The procedure takes about 60 minutes with results that continue improving as your body produces new collagen around the threads.
Biocompatible threads: Medical-grade PDO threads provide immediate support while dissolving safely over 6-8 months
Instant lifting: See visible elevation of brows, cheeks, and jawline immediately after treatment
Collagen stimulation: Threads trigger your body to produce new collagen for lasting skin tightening

Expert Answers from Yeny Liscano MedSpa
A thread lift uses dissolvable PDO threads inserted under the skin to physically lift sagging tissues and stimulate collagen production. The threads create an immediate lifting effect while dissolving over 6-8 months, leaving behind new collagen for lasting tightening.
While the threads dissolve within 6-8 months, the collagen they stimulate continues providing benefits for 12-18 months. Many patients maintain results longer with good skincare and periodic maintenance treatments.
Discomfort is minimal with local anesthesia. Most patients describe feeling slight pressure during thread placement. Post-procedure, you may experience mild tenderness or tightness for a few days, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Most patients return to work within 1-2 days. Swelling and bruising typically resolve within 3-5 days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 1 week and sleeping on your back for 2 weeks to optimize results.
Thread lifts offer moderate lifting with no incisions, general anesthesia, or lengthy downtime. While surgical facelifts provide more dramatic correction, thread lifts are ideal for early signs of aging or those wanting to delay surgery.
Yes! We often combine threads with fillers like RADIESSE for volume restoration or neuromodulators like Botulinum Toxin for dynamic wrinkles. PRF treatments can also enhance collagen stimulation and skin quality.
