Thread Lifts: What are they?
Thread lift placement is an aesthetic technique designed to stimulate and restore tension in relaxed connective tissues, providing an immediate lifting effect. Thread lifts are made from completely resorbable materials (PDO, polylactic acid), meaning no foreign body remains in the body after resorption.
This minimally traumatic non-surgical method offers natural and progressive rejuvenation, while avoiding the risks and scars of heavy surgical procedures like a cervicofacial facelift.
How does thread lift placement work?
The thread lift procedure takes place in several steps. Local anesthesia with cream is applied 45 minutes to 1 hour before the treatment. The doctor inserts the threads with a fine needle under the skin. The threads are tensioned to reposition relaxed tissues. They also stimulate collagen production for a firming effect. The session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the number of threads and areas to treat.
Treatable facial areas with thread lifts
Thread lifts effectively treat different areas of the face and neck. They reshape the facial oval and combat sagging. They restore volume and contour to cheekbones. They reduce nasolabial folds. They reduce jowls and redefine jawline contour. They lift drooping mouth corners. They lift sagging eyebrows. Finally, they firm the neck skin and reduce "turkey neck."
Different types of thread lifts
- Smooth threads (monofilaments): stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality. Ideal for overall firming.
- Barbed threads (cones or spires): offer a powerful mechanical lifting effect. Barbs anchor tissues for lasting repositioning.
- Cogged threads: combine lifting effect and collagen stimulation.
- Resorbable threads (PDO, polylactic acid): resorb in 6 to 12 months, stimulating collagen production during this period.
Benefits of thread lifts
Thread lifts offer many advantages. The lifting effect is immediate, visible right after the session. Results are natural with progressive and harmonious rejuvenation. Collagen stimulation improves skin quality in the long term. The procedure is non-surgical, with no scars or general anesthesia. Recovery is quick with a return to social life in a few days. Results are lasting, 12 to 24 months depending on the thread type.
Side effects and recovery
Side effects of thread lifts are mild and temporary. Frequent bruising disappears in a few days. Mild swelling resolves within a week. Temporary discomfort or pulling sensation disappears in a few days. Redness fades within 24 to 48 hours. Recovery is quick, most patients return to their activities the next day. Swelling on the temples and cheekbones decreases by 50% in just 3 days.
Results and duration of thread lifts
Thread lift results are visible immediately after placement. The lifting effect progressively intensifies over 2 to 3 months thanks to collagen stimulation. The duration of results depends on the type of threads used. Resorbable PDO or polylactic acid threads give results of 12 to 18 months. Cogged or barbed threads offer results of 18 to 24 months.
