A thread lift is an advanced cosmetic procedure that minimizes sagging skin, giving a natural and refreshed look. Unlike regular facelifts, this procedure adjusts facial tissues using special threads that dissolve over time. These threads might have small barbs or cones to provide extra support. Choosing a thread lift means quicker recovery, less downtime, and gradual collagen stimulation for improved skin elasticity over time.
At Genomed Polyclinic, our skin-tightening treatment procedures are conducted by board-certified dermatologists and aesthetic physicians with extensive training in facial anatomy, skin biology, and minimally invasive rejuvenation techniques. Each treatment plan is designed after a personalized assessment to ensure optimal results, patient safety, and satisfaction.
1. Initial Consultation
A certified aesthetic doctor evaluates your skin laxity, facial structure, and goals. You’ll discuss your expectations, possible outcomes, and any medical conditions to ensure suitability.
Purpose: Personalized treatment planning and eligibility confirmation.
2. Facial Mapping & Marking
The doctor gently marks the areas to be lifted (e.g., jawline, cheeks, brows) using a sterile pen. This ensures precise thread placement for balanced results.
Purpose: Accurate thread positioning and natural symmetry.
3. Local Anesthesia Application
A local anesthetic is injected into the treatment areas to numb the skin and ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.
Purpose: Minimize pain and discomfort.
4. Thread Insertion
Using a fine cannula or needle, dissolvable threads (usually PDO, PLLA, or PCL) are inserted under the skin in targeted vectors. The doctor gently pulls the threads to lift and reposition sagging tissues.
Purpose: Physical lifting of skin with added collagen stimulation.
5. Thread Anchoring & Adjustment
Once placed, the threads are anchored into position. The doctor adjusts them for an even lift and symmetry across the face.
Purpose: Secure and balanced lifting effect.
6. Trimming Excess Thread
After the threads are set in place, any remaining ends are trimmed and the skin is gently smoothed over the treated areas.
Purpose: Clean finish and natural appearance.
7. Post-Treatment Care Instructions
You’ll receive personalized aftercare guidelines, including avoiding facial massages, strong facial movements, or sleeping face-down for several days.
Purpose: Ensure proper healing and thread integration.
8. Follow-Up Appointment (Optional)
A follow-up consultation may be scheduled after 1–2 weeks to evaluate results and ensure threads have settled correctly.
Purpose: Monitor healing and address any minor adjustments..
Results typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on your skin type, age, and lifestyle.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area.
Mild swelling or bruising may occur, but recovery usually takes 1–3 days.
Ideal for men and women in their 30s to 60s with mild to moderate skin laxity who seek a non-surgical solution.
Common areas include the jawline, cheeks, neck, brows, and nasolabial folds.
