A Thread Face lift procedure is a fairly simple procedure that involves threading thin, dissolvable sutures underneath the skin. Your doctor will then be able to pull your skin tight around the forehead, neck, or torso. Thread Face lift works by triggering your body’s healing response. Even though the threads do not injure you, your body detects suture material and stimulates collagen production in the affected area. This increased production of collagen can fill gaps in sagging skin and restore a more youthful appearance to your face.
A Thread Face lift procedure takes about 30-40 minutes to complete and does not include any recovery period. You will likely be able to return to work or your daily activities immediately after the procedure. In a Thread Face lift procedure, you will be asked to recline in the room where the procedure is being performed. Your doctor will apply some topical anesthetic to the treatment area. Once the treatment area is numbed, a thin needle or cannula will be used to insert a thread underneath your skin. After the threads are inserted, the method of insertion is removed. The needles are then taken out, and the procedure is considered to be complete.Â
