A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten and lift the skin. Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are biodegradable sutures, the presence of which triggers the body to produce more collagen. The goal of a thread lift is facial rejuvenation. A thread lift can treat visible signs of aging. The areas around the cheeks, jaw, neck and eyes are among the most commonly treated areas. Thread lifts are often combined with anti-aging procedures such as dermal fillers and Botox. Immediate improvement is noticeable. Recovery from the procedure is minimal and the procedure is affordable. Patients may return to work the next day, making the thread lift a valuable alternative to surgery for many patients.
