Threads

Threads, also known as thread lifts or PDO threads, have emerged as a popular and minimally invasive treatment for skin tightening and lifting. This innovative procedure offers individuals a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelifts, providing noticeable results with minimal downtime. By utilizing dissolvable threads made from biocompatible materials, thread lifts stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and enhance facial contours, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

What are threads?

Threads are a cosmetic treatment typically made from polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material commonly used in surgical sutures. These dissolvable threads are inserted into the skin using fine needles, where they act to support and lift sagging tissues. Over time, the threads stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration, resulting in firmer, smoother skin and improved facial contours. Threads come in various lengths, thicknesses, and textures, allowing for customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs.

Thread Lift Candidates

Ideal candidates for thread lifts are individuals seeking to address mild to moderate sagging or laxity in the face, neck, or other areas of the body. Thread lifts can effectively lift and tighten loose skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and restore facial volume without the need for surgery. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the treatment’s outcomes. The best way to determine your candidacy is through a private consultation with Dr. Nowak.

Thread Lift Procedure

The thread lift procedure begins with a thorough consultation and assessment of the patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. During the procedure, numbing cream or local anesthesia is applied to the treatment area to ensure optimal comfort. Using fine needles, the threads are carefully inserted into the skin and positioned to lift and support the underlying tissues. Once in place, the threads are gently pulled to create tension and lift the skin. The entire process typically takes about 30-60 minutes to complete, depending on the areas being treated.

Thread lift results

The results of a thread lift become noticeable immediately after the procedure, with further improvements seen over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated and the skin’s texture and tone improve. Many patients report a subtle lifting and tightening effect, along with improved facial contours and a more youthful appearance. With proper maintenance and a healthy lifestyle, the results of a thread lift can last up to 1-2 years, providing individuals with long-lasting rejuvenation and confidence in their appearance.

Thread Lift Recovery

Recovery after a thread lift is relatively quick, with most individuals able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort may occur in the treated area, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive facial movements, and sleeping on their side or stomach immediately following the procedure to minimize the risk of side effects and optimize results.
