Thread lift

In a thread lift, absor­ba­ble threads are pla­ced under the skin to lift tis­sue that has des­cen­ded. The threads car­ry small barbs or cones with which they grip the tis­sue and hold it in the desi­red position.

Appli­ca­ti­on

The cheeks, jaw­li­ne and neck are trea­ted abo­ve all. Along­side the imme­dia­te lif­ting effect, the threads sti­mu­la­te the for­ma­ti­on of new col­la­gen over months, so that the tis­sue struc­tu­re firms up as well.

Good to know

The threads are usual­ly made of poly­di­ox­a­no­ne or lac­tic acid poly­mers and are bro­ken down within six to twel­ve months. Depen­ding on the start­ing point the result lasts one to two years. A thread lift does not replace a sur­gi­cal face­lift, but invol­ves con­sider­a­b­ly less downtime.
