Minimally Invasive Surgical Threadlift
About the treatment
Tightening and mechanical lifting are very different concepts. While mono threads can stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, they do not constitute a mechanical lift.
Larger, stronger threads with cogs or barbs (PDO lifting threads) are inserted slightly deeper under the skin, draping and repositioning the tissues at a higher position to result in a subtle lift.
This treatment will need to be repeated for a sustained lift as tissue is not permanently fixed like Facelift surgery.
A minimally invasive surgical threadlift can be an intermediate step before progressing to a more definitive option.
Results
A minimally invasive surgical thread lift is a type of procedure wherein temporary sutures are used to produce a subtle but visible “lift” in the skin. Instead of removing the patient’s loose facial skin surgically, it is suspended.
What to expect from a Surgical Threadlift
