THREAD LIFT,
facial repositioning

PDO thread placement areas for facial support

✨ Thread Lift

Facial rejuvenation without incisions, with an immediate lifting effect and deep collagen stimulation

​

Thread lifts are one of the most modern facial harmonization techniques, indicated for those who want to rejuvenate the face naturally without plastic surgery. Known as the “facelift without incisions”, these threads are inserted under the skin to reposition tissue, redefine the facial contour and stimulate collagen production, providing an immediate and progressive lifting effect.

 

 

🧬 How do the threads work?

The threads are made of biocompatible, absorbable materials such as PDO (polydioxanone) or poly-L-lactic acid, and have small barbs or cones that anchor to the subcutaneous tissue. Inserted with cannulas, they:

  • Reposition tissue that has sagged over time

  • Create a controlled trauma that stimulates collagen production (neocollagenesis)

  • Form fibrocollagenous tissue around the thread, providing long-lasting firmness and support

  • Are naturally absorbed by the body within 18 to 24 months, but the effects may last longer

 

 

🎯 Indications

  • Mild to moderate sagging in the mid and lower face

  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines

  • Drooping of the tail of the eyebrow

  • Redefining the jawline

  • Rejuvenation of the neck and double chin

  • Complement to biostimulator or filler treatments

 

 

🔍 Types of threads and their characteristics

  • PDO (Polydioxanone) threads: absorbed in 6 to 8 months, stimulating collagen for up to 12 months

  • Poly-L-Lactic Acid threads: absorbed in 12 to 18 months, with prolonged stimulation

  • Threads with cones or barbs: greater traction and an immediate lifting effect

  • Smooth or barbed threads: indicated for collagen stimulation in areas with diffuse sagging

The choice of thread depends on facial anatomy, degree of sagging and the patient's aesthetic goal.

 

 

🔄 Threads or Fillers?

  • Thread lifts: reposition tissue and stimulate collagen

  • Hyaluronic acid fillers: restore volume and correct asymmetries and folds

  • Strategic combination: in many cases, both treatments are combined for more complete and natural results

 

 

✅ Advantages of thread lifts

  • In-office procedure under local anesthesia

  • Average duration of 45 to 60 minutes

  • Quick recovery: mild swelling or bruising in the first few days

  • Immediate return to daily activities

  • Continuous collagen stimulation for up to 24 months

  • Visible results from 30 days, with progressive improvement

 

 

⚠️ Points to consider

  • The results do not replace those of a surgical facelift

  • Annual maintenance sessions may be needed

  • Not indicated for severe sagging or excess skin

  • A careful assessment is essential to ensure safety and a natural result

 

 

🧪 Post-procedure care

  • Avoid exaggerated facial movements in the first 48 hours

  • Sleep with your head elevated for 3 to 5 days

  • Avoid facial massages, intense heat and strenuous exercise for 7 days

  • Cold compresses can help reduce swelling
