What is a Thread Lift?

During a thread lift, ultra-fine surgical threads are injected under the subcutaneous fat layer of the skin. Without the need for incisions, anesthesia, scarring, or a lengthy recovery, a thread lift can combat sagging skin in the midface and jawline, restoring a more youthful and vibrant appearance.

While a thread lift is effective at providing an immediate lift, it is also chosen for its long-term benefits in terms of collagen renewal. Collagen is an all-important protein that gives youthful skin its suppleness, resilience, and hydrated glow. With the aging process, this compound is depleted, leaving the complexion looking hollow and dull. A thread lift in Redwood City triggers the body’s natural self-healing process of collagen-building, softening, firming, and smoothing the skin from within.

How Does a Thread Lift Work?

A thread lift procedure typically takes around 30-90 minutes and can be performed without the use of general anesthesia, lowering your risks and downtime. During treatment, the threads are inserted through tiny incisions and are attached to the skin tissue, pulling sagging contours up and back for a taut, smooth facial appearance. This provides an almost immediate lift. Once the threads are cut, they remain invisible below the surface, and scarring is imperceptible.

What Areas Can Be Rejuvenated with a Thread Lift?

  • Cheeks and midface
  • Jowls, jawline, and lower face
  • Brows
  • Neck
  • Around the eyes
  • Corners of the mouth
  • Nasolabial folds

What Are the Different Thread Lift Options?

Barbed Threads

Barbed threads can quickly elevate sagging cheeks, providing the patient with enhanced confidence in how they look. Collagen regeneration is also jump-started to help provide a more youthful scaffolding for the skin.

Smooth Threads

The advantage with smooth threads is that they can be crisscrossed in a mesh-like pattern that supports powerful renewal of collagen stores. The final result is firmer, tighter skin and the erasure of wrinkles, lines, and creases.

What Can I Expect After My Treatment?

After your thread lift in Redwood City, you may experience minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness. However, these side effects are most noticeable to you and your practitioner, and they can be well-managed with Tylenol and Arnica. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 2-3 weeks. If you have an important event coming up, make sure to schedule your thread lift accordingly. The threads will be slowly absorbed over the course of around 9 months.
