What is a ThreadLift?

A ThreadLift involves placing dissolvable sutures beneath the skin to gently reposition sagging areas while encouraging natural collagen production. Unlike a traditional facelift, which requires surgical incisions and extensive downtime, a ThreadLift provides a refreshed, youthful look with minimal recovery. Often referred to as the “lunchtime facelift,” the ThreadLift is popular for its quick procedure time (typically taking 30–45 minutes), shorter recovery, and natural-looking results, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Key Benefits of a ThreadLift

Patients choose ThreadLift treatments for various reasons, including:

• Non-Surgical Skin Lifting – Achieves firmer, more youthful contours without invasive surgery.

• Stimulates Collagen Production – Enhances skin elasticity and firmness over time.

• Quick Recovery – Most patients resume regular activities within 3–7 days.

• Long-Lasting Results – Effects last 1 to 3 years, with ongoing improvements as collagen continues to build.

• Customizable for Individual Needs – Different thread types and placements provide tailored results.

Is a ThreadLift Right for You?

You may be a great candidate for a ThreadLift if you:

• Experience early signs of aging, such as mild skin laxity or sagging.

• Are between your late 30s and early 50s and want a refreshed look.

• Prefer a non-surgical alternative to a facelift.

• Have had a prior facelift and want to maintain or enhance the results.

This treatment is NOT suitable for individuals with severe skin laxity, certain medical conditions, or unrealistic expectations for surgical-like results.

How Does a ThreadLift Compare to a Facelift?

While both procedures aim to restore a youthful appearance, key differences include:

• ThreadLift – Minimally invasive, quick recovery, results last 1-3 years, and stimulates natural collagen production.

• Facelift – Invasive surgery with longer recovery, dramatic lifting effects, and longer-lasting results (typically 10+ years).

For those seeking a subtle lift and collagen boost without surgery, a ThreadLift is an excellent option.

What to Expect During the Procedure

A ThreadLift is performed in-office with minimal discomfort. Here’s what happens during treatment:

1. Consultation – A provider assesses your skin and aesthetic goals to determine the best placement for the threads.

2. Preparation – Local anesthesia is applied for a comfortable experience.

3. Thread Insertion – Using a fine needle, dissolvable threads are placed beneath the skin to lift and support sagging areas.

4. Immediate Results – The lifting effect is visible right away, while collagen stimulation enhances long-term improvement.
