Thread lift
Reposition and tighten facial tissues with absorbable threads for a lifting effect without surgery.
What is it?
Tensor threads are absorbable medical threads placed under the skin with a fine needle or cannula. They have small barbs that hold the tissues and allow them to be repositioned, for example to lift the midface or define the facial oval. Over time the thread is absorbed, stimulating collagen formation in the process.
The threads support and lift the tissues; as they absorb, they stimulate collagen.
Who is it for?
What does the procedure involve?
Recovery
There may be swelling, small bruises or a feeling of tightness during the first days. Avoid exaggerated facial movements, facial massage, intense exercise and sleeping face down for as long as the doctor indicates.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the result last?
The lifting effect lasts several months, and the collagen formed helps extend it. Duration varies from person to person.
Is it the same as a surgical lift?
No. Threads give a subtler, temporary effect without surgery. For marked sagging, a surgical lift gives a greater result.
Can the threads be seen?
No. They sit under the skin and cannot be seen or felt once the swelling goes down.
