Thread Lift is a non-surgical procedure used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. It involves inserting special, dissolvable threads beneath the skin, which act like a supportive structure to gently lift and hold the tissues in place. The threads are strategically placed in areas of the face that need lifting, such as cheeks, jawline, or neck. The treatment offers a natural-looking lift and improved skin tone, with the added benefit of stimulating the body’s collagen production to enhance skin firmness over time.

Thread Lift with advanced techniques like Anchor Max and Anchor Plus available at our affiliated clinic provide more secure lifts and longer-lasting results. These techniques use specifically designed threads that offer a stronger grip, making them effective for lifting and contouring areas that may be prone to sagging. Thread Lift is ideal for individuals experiencing early signs of aging who seek a minimal downtime solution for lifting and rejuvenating their facial appearance without the need of surgery.

Thread Lift works by placing special dissolvable threads just beneath the skin’s surface. These threads have tiny barbs or cones that grip the skin and gently pull it upwards, creating a lifting effect. In addition to the immediate lift, the threads trigger your body to produce more collagen, a natural collagen that helps keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful. As the threads dissolve over time, the skin continues to improve in texture and tightness due to this collagen boost.
