Threads

Thread lift is a cosmetic procedure that offers a minimally invasive alternative to facelift surgery. Thread lifts claim to tighten your skin by inserting medical-grade thread material into your face and then “pulling” your skin up by tightening the thread Thread lifts generally last between 12 and 18 months. However, this is dependant upon the individual patient and their age, lifestyle, skin type and how quickly their body breaks down the sutures. The procedure itself delivers immediate results

A study published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) confirms PDO thread lifts do work, stating thread lifts indisputably lift and shape facial soft tissues. Another study published by the NIH indicates this therapy yields around a 90 percent success rate.

An added benefit of a thread face-lift is the accompanying stimulation of new collagen from the the procedure. Threads contain tiny cones that cause inflammation in the skin. Your body's natural healing response kicks in, producing new collagen that supports healthy, younger-looking skin.
