What is a thread-lift?
A thread-lift is a type of minimally invasive procedure suitable for people who want a facelift, but prefer not to go under the knife.
With this procedure, threads made from biodegradable polymers are inserted into your skin with a needle. These threads are absorbable, so they will dissolve 6 to 9 months after the procedure.
There are two main types of threadlifts:
- Anchoring threads - these threads are inserted beneath your skin, and they ‘lift’ your tissues with either barbs or cogs. They can be free-floating, or attached to an area where the ‘lifted’ tissues are suspended.
- Embedded threads - also known as PDO threads, they ‘lift’ your skin by stimulating the growth of collagen around the length of the thread.
