A non-surgical facelift

Thread lifts use absorbable PDO or poly-L-lactic acid threads inserted subdermally to lift and redefine tissues. They are indicated for:

  • Sagging facial oval
  • Drooping cheeks and midface
  • Brow ptosis (drooping eyebrow)
  • Loss of tone in neck and submental area
  • Prevention of tissue sagging in younger patients

In addition to the immediate mechanical lifting effect, the threads stimulate neocollagenesis for results that continue to improve over subsequent months.
