How it works...

Thread lifts are minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that use biodegradable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin. Using a fine needle or cannula, the medical professional inserts the threads into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. The threads are typically made of biocompatible materials like polydioxanone (PDO) or polylactic acid (PLA). Once the threads are inserted, the medical professional carefully manipulates them to lift and reposition the targeted tissues. The threads have tiny barbs or cones that anchor themselves within the skin, providing support and lifting effect. Once the desired lifting effect is achieved, the excess thread is trimmed, and the procedure is complete. Depending on the areas treated, multiple threads may be used.
