What is a Thread Lift?
Aging results in thinning of the skin because of the reduced production and disintegration ofcollagen and elastin- the two skin structural proteins responsible for keeping skin firm andelastic. It also causes loss of hyaluronic acid that leads to loss of skin hydration. Furthermore,there is a loss in fat cells, bone density, and muscle mass which ensure the appearance of skinfolds, creases, fine lines and wrinkles, and sagging skin.
A thread lift, also called a barbed suture lift, is a minimally-invasive alternative to faceliftsurgery. It is an anti-aging treatment that claims facial skin tightening by inserting medical-grade threads into certain facial areas and then pulling up the loosened skin. It aims for subtleand temporary facial skin lift and sculpting of the facial shape. It can even be used for breastskin tightening.

What types of Threads are Used in a Thread Lift Procedure?
Thread lift is performed with free-floating cogged or barbed medical-grade, absorbablethreads. These threads can be convergent/divergent or unidirectional/bidirectional based onthe direction of the barbs. Mainly, the absorbable thread used for a thread lift is PDO(Polydioxanone) thread which is known to dissolve in around 6 months. Other dissolvable suture options that can be used in thread lift treatment are Silhouette Soft Thread which ismade of PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) and lasts for a year and PCL (Polycaprolactone) threadsthat get dissolved 24 months following the treatment. The thread used for a thread lift isdetermined by the location of the procedure, individual preference, and desired longevity ofthe effect.
Concerns Treated with a Thread Lift
Mostly thread lift is chosen for facial areas that sag or look less taut over time. The targetedareas are:
- Brow line
- Under-eye area
- Jawline and Jowls
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Neck or torso
Sometimes, usually after pregnancy and weight loss, thread lifts can be used to tighten andlift the breasts.
How does Thread Lift Work?
The thread lift technique works in two ways. The first one is quite straightforward. Byinserting the dissolvable sutures underneath the skin, the doctor can pull the skin taut. Theinvisible, painless “barbs” grab onto the skin and ensure that the thread grips the underlyingtissues and muscles as the thread is pulled tight.
Secondly, upon placing the barbed thread, the natural wound-healing response of the body istriggered. Although the insertion of the threads does not result in injury, the body detects thesuture material and boosts collagen production in the affected portion of the skin. Collagenhelps in filling gaps in the sagging skin, keeps the skin firm, and restores the skin’s elasticity.
Therefore, the primary result of a thread lift treatment is the skin appears more structured andtighter. The sutures dissolve after a year of the treatment and this effect begins to be lessnoticeable. However, the secondary effect of facial rejuvenation caused by new collagengrowth stays and the resulting skin improvements continue to be noticed 3 years or more afterthe procedure.
