Condition Addressed
Threads, commonly referred to as thread lifts or PDO thread lifts, are minimally invasive cosmetic procedures designed to address mild to moderate sagging and loss of firmness in the face and neck.
This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking a subtle lift and rejuvenation without undergoing traditional surgical facelifts. Threads are especially effective for improving skin laxity, softening fine lines and wrinkles, enhancing jawline definition, lifting the cheeks, tightening the neck, and reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The procedure involves inserting absorbable, medical-grade sutures beneath the skin, which physically lift the tissues and stimulate natural collagen production for ongoing skin tightening and improved texture. While threads can provide an immediate lifting effect, they are best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity and are often combined with other treatments such as fillers or skin boosters for enhanced results. Severe sagging, significant volume loss, or advanced aging changes may require more comprehensive surgical approaches.
Downtime
Downtime after a thread lift is minimal compared to surgical facelifts, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the insertion sites, which typically subsides within a few days to a week. Some individuals may notice slight asymmetry or tightness immediately after the procedure, but these effects usually resolve as the threads settle and the tissues adapt. The majority of people can return to work and normal activities within two to three days, though strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and excessive facial movements should be avoided for about a week. Simple aftercare measures, such as sleeping with the head elevated and using cold compresses, can help minimize swelling and discomfort. The risk of complications is low, especially when performed by a skilled practitioner, and most side effects are temporary and mild.
Outcomes
Outcomes from thread lift treatments are both immediate and progressive.
Patients typically see an instant lifting and tightening effect right after the procedure, with further improvements in skin texture, firmness, and elasticity developing over the following weeks as collagen production increases. The results are subtle and natural-looking, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance without drastic changes. Depending on the type of threads used and individual skin characteristics, the lifting effect can last from six months to over a year, after which maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the benefits. Most patients report high satisfaction with the results, enjoying a more youthful facial contour and improved skin quality with minimal downtime and risk.
