Thread Lift: A Guide to Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation

Thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the skin, reshaping the face, and tightening the underlying tissues. It’s a popular choice for treating mild to moderate signs of aging, as well as acne scars, pockmarks, and other types of facial scarring.

How Does a Thread Lift Work?

During a thread lift, specially designed threads are inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. This process triggers a natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and increasing elastin levels. The result is improved skin elasticity, enhanced blood circulation, and a tighter, firmer appearance.

Types of Thread Lift Threads

Popular materials for thread lifts include:

  • Polydioxanone (PDO): Commonly used for skin tightening and collagen stimulation.
  • Poly L Lactic Acid (PLLA): Promotes collagen production and offers longer-lasting results.
  • Polycaprolactone (PCL): Ideal for both collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.

The effectiveness of a thread lift varies depending on the material used, typically lasting between one to five years. Threads also come in two main types:

  • Barbed Threads: These threads have barbs that help lift and tighten the skin and provide more dramatic results.
  • Non-barbed Threads: These smaller threads are excellent for stimulating collagen production and treating acne scars without significant lifting.
