What is Thread Lifting?
A thread lift uses absorbable threads, commonly made of PDO, inserted beneath the skin to reposition mildly sagging tissue and stimulate collagen as they dissolve. It is suited to early laxity of the cheeks, jawline and neck in people who are not looking for surgery.

Thread Lifting: common questions
Is a thread lift the same as a facelift?
No. It gives a modest lift for early sagging and does not replace surgery for significant laxity.
