What Is It?
The thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that corrects aged or sagging skin.
As elastin fibres and connecting tissues break down over time, the skin around them can begin to droop and loosen. This makes the face appear older. In the past, the only option was to undergo a traditional facelift involving invasive surgery and a recovery period that stretched over months. Now, however, Polydioxanone (PDO) threads can be used to suspend skin, increasing tautness. These threads are “stitched” into the face, pulling affected areas of skin and tightening them.
Thread lifts are still minimally invasive, so you should expect a degree of pain and discomfort for a few days after the procedure. You’ll usually be given a series of local anaesthetic injections, but general anaesthesia options may be available too. If you’re looking for fast results without the expense and long-term recovery of traditional facelift surgery, a thread lift could be the appropriate procedure for you.
