A thread lift uses dissolvable threads, inserted beneath the skin, to physically lift and tighten areas that have begun to sag – commonly the jowls, mid-face or brow. As the threads dissolve over several months, they also stimulate collagen production, extending the lifting effect beyond the initial treatment.

It’s a popular middle-ground option for patients who want more structural lifting than injectables alone can offer, without committing to surgery. Treatment is done under local anesthesia and most patients return to light activity within a day or two.
