Threads FAQ
What Are Threads?
Threads are fine absorbable sutures made of medical-grade materials used to lift and support the structure of your face or body. Once inserted just below the skin’s surface, they create a subtle but noticeable lift in the treated area. They also trigger your body’s collagen production to restore volume and elasticity.
Why Should I Get Threads?
Instant Results with Ongoing Improvement
You will notice a visible lift right away. More improvements follow over several weeks as collagen forms.
Minimally Invasive
Unlike a surgical facelift, thread lifting requires no general anesthesia, no large incisions, and minimal recovery.
Natural-Looking Results
Threads reposition skin without volume, making this a great choice if you want to look refreshed without looking like you have had work done.
Custom-Tailored Treatment Plans
Our experienced team customizes thread placement for your unique structure to deliver natural and flattering results.
How Do Threads Work?
They get placed under your skin to lift the sagging tissue mechanically and stimulate the body’s healing response. This promotes collagen and elastin, which improves skin texture and tone even after the threads dissolve.
Is The Procedure Painful?
Most clients report only mild discomfort. We use numbing cream and local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable throughout.
What’s The Recovery Like?
You might experience minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days. Most people return to normal activities the next day, though we recommend avoiding strenuous activity or facial massage for about a week.
Who Is A Good Candidate?
This is perfect for people in their 30s and up who have mild to moderate sagging and want a lift without surgery. It’s also excellent for those who want subtle contouring without adding volume.
Can Threads Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Absolutely. Threads work well with dermal fillers, wrinkle relaxers, laser skin resurfacing, and collagen-boosting therapies for a more comprehensive anti-aging approach.
Are Results Permanent?
You will see some results right away. The full effect sets in over 4 to 12 weeks as collagen builds. Results usually last 12 to 24 months, and touch-ups can prolong the benefits. Your body’s collagen production also keeps improving your skin’s texture long after.
What Is The Average Cost Of A Thread Lift?
Prices vary depending on how many threads are needed and the areas treated. Typically, treatments may vary between $800 and $2,500. We provide consultations to help you determine what fits your goals and budget.
How Many Years Does A Thread Lift Last?
A typical thread lift lasts about 1 to 2 years. Your lifestyle, age, and skin condition all play a role. Annual or biannual touch-ups can help extend the benefits.
