Non-Surgical Face Lifting for Youthful, Firm & Natural-Looking Skin
What Is a Thread Lift?
A Thread Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses medical-grade absorbable threads to lift sagging skin and stimulate natural collagen production. These threads are gently inserted under the skin to reposition tissues and restore youthful contours.
Unlike traditional facelift surgery, a thread lift does not require cuts, stitches, or general anesthesia. Therefore, it is considered a safe, quick, and effective option for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Moreover, thread lift treatment not only lifts the skin but also enhances skin quality over time by boosting collagen and elastin.
Why Choose Thread Lift Over Surgery?
While surgical facelifts can deliver dramatic results, they also involve risks, pain, scars, and extended recovery periods. On the other hand, thread lift offers a perfect balance between effectiveness and safety.
Key Benefits:
Non-surgical and minimally invasive
Quick procedure (30–60 minutes)
Immediate lifting results
Natural-looking enhancement
Minimal pain and discomfort
No scars or stitches
Short recovery time
Stimulates collagen production
Because of these advantages, thread lift has become increasingly popular among men and women who prefer subtle yet visible anti-aging results.
Areas Treated with Thread Lift
Thread lift treatment is highly versatile. Therefore, it can be used on multiple areas of the face and neck, including:
Forehead lifting
Eyebrow lift
Under-eye area
Cheeks and mid-face
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Jawline contouring
Jowls correction
Neck tightening
Marionette lines
Additionally, thread lift can be combined with other aesthetic treatments for enhanced results.
Types of Threads Used at Indian Skin Hair Aesthetics Skin Clinic
At our clinic, we use FDA-approved, high-quality absorbable threads to ensure safety and effectiveness.
1. PDO Threads (Polydioxanone)
These threads are widely used and completely absorbable. They stimulate collagen production and gradually dissolve within 6–8 months while providing long-lasting results.
2. PLLA Threads (Poly-L-Lactic Acid)
PLLA threads offer longer-lasting effects and are excellent for collagen stimulation. As a result, they improve skin texture and firmness over time.
3. PCL Threads (Polycaprolactone)
PCL threads provide the longest durability and stronger lifting effect. Therefore, they are ideal for patients seeking extended anti-aging benefits.
Our specialists carefully select the thread type based on skin condition, age, and desired outcome.
How Does Thread Lift Work?
The thread lift procedure works in two powerful ways:
Immediate Lifting Effect
Once the threads are placed under the skin, they gently pull and reposition sagging tissues. Consequently, patients notice an instant lifting effect.
Long-Term Collagen Boost
Over time, the threads stimulate collagen production around them. As a result, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful even after the threads dissolve.
Thus, thread lift offers both instant and progressive improvement.
Thread Lift Procedure – Step by Step
At Indian Skin Hair Aesthetics Skin Clinic, patient comfort and safety are our top priorities. Therefore, every thread lift procedure follows a carefully planned approach.
Step 1: Consultation & Assessment
First, our aesthetic expert evaluates your facial structure, skin quality, and aging concerns. Based on this, a personalized treatment plan is created.
Step 2: Preparation
The treatment area is cleaned thoroughly, and local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Step 3: Thread Insertion
Using fine needles or cannulas, the threads are inserted beneath the skin at precise angles to achieve optimal lifting.
Step 4: Adjustment & Final Touch
The threads are adjusted carefully to create a natural-looking lift. Once completed, the area is gently massaged.
Step 5: Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, post-care instructions are provided to ensure smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Thread Lift?
Thread lift is suitable for individuals who:
Have mild to moderate skin sagging
Want facial rejuvenation without surgery
Prefer minimal downtime
Are between 30 to 60 years of age
Want natural-looking results
However, during consultation, our specialists determine suitability to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
Results of Thread Lift Treatment
One of the biggest advantages of thread lift is that results are visible immediately. However, the skin continues to improve over the next few weeks as collagen production increases.
What You Can Expect:
Lifted and firmer skin
Improved facial contours
Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
Youthful and refreshed appearance
Natural, subtle enhancement
Results typically last 12 to 24 months, depending on the type of threads used, skin condition, and lifestyle factors.
Recovery and Downtime
Another major benefit of thread lift is minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Mild Side Effects May Include:
Slight swelling
Mild bruising
Temporary tenderness
Minor redness
These effects usually subside within a few days. Moreover, following post-care instructions helps speed up recovery.
Post-Treatment Care Instructions
To maintain the best results, patients are advised to:
Avoid heavy facial movements for a few days
Sleep on your back
Avoid strenuous exercise for 1 week
Refrain from facial massages temporarily
Follow skincare advice given by the doctor
By following these guidelines, results remain long-lasting and natural.
