Complications: Although thread lift is considered minimally invasive, some sutures and cuts are required. There is still a risk of complications such as bruising, thread breakage, thread extrusion, fever, and infection.
Thread lifts are low risk, thanks to how noninvasive they are. There is virtually no risk of scarring, severe bruising, bleeding or other complications after having a thread lift. In rare cases, patients may experience irritation, infection or their sutures becoming visible under their skin.
This study showed that facial threading was found to improve the facial skin roughness indices with significant decreases by 30.4%, 35.9%, and 16.7%, respectively, for the participants' forehead, cheek, and mouth corner skin. No significant adverse changes in moisture levels and skin pigment indices were detected.
Threading is also hygienic because nothing but clean strands of the cotton come in contact with the face. Those with sensitive or aging skin find threading is less likely than waxing to cause wrinkles or skin pulling.
When the sutures begin to dissolve, it is likely you will notice the gradual return of sagging features. However, there is evidence to support that collagen is produced in the tissues surrounding the threads, which can lead to a longer lasting effect.

Many of our clients love PDO Threads AND Botox, it just depends on your beauty goals and preferences. In short, Botox is a phenomenal choice for those looking to treat fine lines and prevent future wrinkles. PDO Threads may be a better choice if you have deeper wrinkles and are searching for more intense results.

A Thread Facelift is a safe, convenient procedure that reduces sagging around the cheeks and jawline. Special, clear threads are used to inconspicuously re-position and hold skin and facial tissue in place.
The absorbable threads make skin lifted immediately through mechanical effects. And these threads stimulate neocollagenesis process of tissues, which results in the production of new collagen.
Wash and dry your face gently, without rubbing or massaging (2 weeks). Avoid direct sunlight and do not use tanning beds (3 weeks). Avoid facial massages and all other facial aesthetic treatments (3 weeks). Avoid sports, in particular high impact sports (e.g. running) and contact sports (e.g. boxing, rugby) (3 weeks).
Since the process removes hairs from their roots, the time for the hairs to grow back will be dependent on many factors, but we recommend coming in for eyebrow threading treatment every 2-3 weeks.
Results from a thread lift aren't meant to be permanent. Successful effects typically last from 1 to 3 years. Like other dissolvable dermal fillers, such as Botox, the threads used in the procedure will eventually be absorbed by the tissue underneath your skin. After a thread lift, you can resume your normal routine.
The thread lift may do an excellent job of pulling the jawline, jowls and chin right back up close to the bone, instead of drooping. The thread lift creates a much more youthful-looking facial profile without the need for dramatic surgery, which for the cost, can be worth it for men and women alike.
The threads also stimulate fibroblasts to produce more natural collagen, which creates a “volumizing” and rejuvenating effect. Facial wrinkles will be erased and sagging skin will be lifted, resulting in more youthful-looking skin and more defined facial features.
There may be visible protrusion of small mono or spiral threads from the skin and this can be resolved by cutting the thread back. This can be seen sometimes up to a few days after insertion. Serious complications include damage to blood vessels and facial nerve damage, resulting in facial paralysis.
The cost of the thread lift starts from $3500 or $30 per week. The actual cost of your procedure varies depending on how many threads you require, and the areas in which you need to be treated. Individual consultation is required to determine the exact cost of your procedure.
The area that needs treating (jowls may need repositioning and require 6-8 cog threads per side). The number and shape of thread needed (1 PDO cog thread is longer and has had more costly engineering than 1 short smooth mono), so 4 cog threads will cost more than 10 smooth monos.
A thread lift is less invasive and more cost-effective than a surgical facelift, which may appeal to a younger crowd looking for small cosmetic enhancements or “quick fixes.” On the other hand, a facelift is a more permanent solution to aging concerns; it can target all areas of the face and will visibly take more ...
If she says something like her hair growth is too dense or she wants to do it for hygienic reasons we think 13-16 years is a good enough age for a teenager to get her first waxing or threading experience.
Threading lifts the hair from the follicle, therefore if it is done on a regular basis, it weakens the hair follicle so hair growth becomes less dense over time, and new hair will grow finer and sparser. Re-growth is between 2-4 weeks, depending on hair growth.
A thread lift is appropriate for those with more advanced signs of aging but who aren't quite ready for a surgical facelift. It can address lines and wrinkles but can also reverse volume loss through the regeneration of collagen reserves and can elevate sunken midface contours.
Eye bags, dark circles and skin laxity in the delicate area under the eyes can be treated quickly and effectively with bio-compatible threads. The threads when gently inserted under the skin will instantly tighten and lift the undereye area.
To achieve effective lifting of facial tissue the bi-directional threads are preferred as they provide immediate anchoring to the tissue and the thread cannot move either way due to the two-way direction of the barbs.
PDO, or polydioxanone threads, dissolve after only six to nine months. Contrastingly, PLLA, or Poly L. Lactic Acid threads, dissolve after 12 to 18 months. PCL, or polycaprolactone threads, are the most durable of the three.
