How does a thread lift work?
Fine threads are inserted beneath the skin and positioned to support tissue in a lifted direction. Because they dissolve over time, they are generally understood to provide immediate support and to stimulate some collagen as they break down. The lift is mechanical, which suits looseness that devices alone may not reach.
What can it be used for?
- Sharpening the V-line along the jaw
- Softening deep folds
- A subtle adjustment to eye shape
For milder looseness, devices such as Ulthera may be enough. See thread lift vs device lifting and the sagging jawline page.
