What is a thread lift?
A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin, often around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. During treatment, dissolvable sutures made of biocompatible material are inserted beneath the skin to gently reposition tissue and stimulate collagen production. The result is a firmer, more youthful appearance without the downtime associated with surgical facelifts. Thread lifts are performed in-office and typically take less than an hour to complete.
How long does a thread lift last?
The results of a thread lift generally last between 12 and 24 months, depending on factors such as the type of threads used, the patient’s skin condition, and natural collagen response. Over time, the threads gradually dissolve, but the boost in collagen helps maintain improved firmness and contour. Periodic touch-ups can help extend results and keep skin looking lifted and refreshed.
Who is a good candidate for a thread lift?
Ideal candidates for a thread lift are individuals in their 30s to 60s who are beginning to notice mild to moderate skin laxity but do not yet need a surgical facelift. It’s best suited for patients with good overall health, realistic expectations, and some remaining skin elasticity. Those seeking subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal recovery time often benefit most from this treatment.

Is a thread lift better than Botox?
A thread lift and Botox serve different purposes, so one isn’t necessarily “better” than the other. A thread lift physically lifts sagging skin and stimulates collagen, improving contour and firmness. Botox, on the other hand, relaxes facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. Many patients choose to combine both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation—using Botox for dynamic wrinkles and thread lifts for overall lift and definition.
