Clinical Mechanism & Overview
Thread lifts use biocompatible dissolvable threads placed under the skin to create a subtle lift in selected areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. The threads provide immediate support and gradually encourage collagen remodeling for firmer contours.
Types Of Thread Lifts
Different approaches may be selected depending on your skin concern, treatment goal, and dermatologist assessment.
Lower Face Thread Lift: Supports early jowling and soft lower-face sagging for a cleaner jawline contour.
Mid-Face Thread Lift: Lifts selected cheek and mid-face laxity to improve facial support and freshness.
Neck Thread Lift: Targets mild neck laxity and loose skin in suitable patients after dermatologist assessment.
Clinical Step-by-Step Execution
Facial Mapping
The lifting vectors and entry points are marked after assessing skin laxity and facial balance.
Local Numbing
The treatment area is prepared and numbed for a comfortable procedure.
Thread Placement
Dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin along planned vectors for controlled lift and support.
Contour Check
The lift is balanced, entry points are cleaned, and aftercare instructions are reviewed.
