What is Thread Lift?

Thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses absorbable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin, particularly on the face and neck. It’s a less invasive alternative to a surgical facelift, offering a subtle lift and stimulating collagen production for a more youthful appearance. Using the variety of thread types (PDO, screw, cog, and volume-enhancing threads) tailored to your facial anatomy for maximum lift and minimal discomfort.

Advanced Thread Technology for Natural Lifting

At Reberry Clinic, we use advanced PDO threads that are approved by the FDA and KMFDS and are made from medical-grade, absorbable materials to offer a safe and effective way to lift your face without surgery. By combining different types of threads such as mono threads, screw threads, cog threads and volume lifting threads, we tailor your treatment to your unique skin condition and aesthetic goals.

The threads are placed using a precision 3D mapping technique that targets specific layers of the skin for accurate and customized results. Mono threads gently boost collagen to improve skin texture and firmness, giving you a subtle tightening effect. Cog threads provide a strong hold for an immediate lift, while screw threads support and reposition sagging tissue from all angles. Volume threads add natural fullness to areas like the cheeks. Together, these threads work on different layers of your skin to lift, support, and refresh your face, helping you look smoother, firmer, and more youthful.

Benefits of Thread Lift

Key Benefits of Thread Lift

Immediate Lift Effect: Thread Lift offers instant skin tightening by gently lifting sagging areas of the face and neck using biocompatible threads placed beneath the skin.
Collagen Production Boost: As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, gradually improving skin firmness, elasticity, and overall tone.
Minimally Invasive Approach: This procedure requires no cutting or stitches, making it a safer alternative to surgical facelifts with fewer risks and a more comfortable recovery.
Subtle, Natural Results: The lift is designed to enhance your facial contours without altering your natural expression, perfect for those seeking a refreshed, youthful look.
Improves gummy smile: Controls excessive upper lip movement to create a balanced, harmonious smile.
Low Downtime: With minimal swelling or bruising, most patients can return to work and normal activities within one to two days after treatment.

How it works

How Thread Lift Works

Precise Thread Placement for Immediate Lift

Thread Lift treatment begins with the insertion of fine, dissolvable threads under the skin using a blunt-tip cannula or a thin needle. The threads are made of PDO (polydioxanone), a biocompatible material commonly used in surgical sutures. Once in place, the threads lift and reposition sagging skin, creating an immediate tightening effect especially in the cheeks, jawline, and neck.

Anchoring and Collagen Activation

The threads have small barbs or cones that anchor into the tissue to hold the skin in a lifted position. When the body detects the threads, it triggers a healing response that activates fibroblasts. These cells produce collagen and elastin around the threads, which strengthen the skin and improve firmness over time. The combined effects of physical lifting and collagen regeneration result in both immediate and sustained improvement.

Gradual Thread Dissolution and Natural Skin Rejuvenation

Over several months, the threads dissolve and are absorbed by the body. The collagen produced during the healing process stays in place, maintaining the lifted structure and improving skin texture. This ongoing support leads to a smoother appearance and more defined contours without surgery or significant recovery time.

Cosmetic Procedure Method

Thread Lifting Procedure Method

1. Certified PDO Threads Only

We only use KFDA-certified PDO medical threads. Combined with the expertise of our experienced doctors, we ensure safe, precise, and trustworthy treatment every time.

2. Choosing the Right Thread Type and Length

Depending on the level of sagging and treatment area (cheeks, jawline, skin texture, or smile lines), the most suitable type and length of thread is selected for a natural and effective lift.

3. Understanding Facial Structure for Precise Lifting

By anchoring threads into the supporting muscles and tissues, we create a stronger and longer-lasting lifting effect.

4. Customized Insertion Techniques

Threads are inserted using techniques tailored to each individual’s facial type and aging pattern, enhancing the natural lifting result.

Our process

Treatment Timeline & Expectations

01. Initial Consultation

Your Thread Lift journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, typically lasting 45 to 60 minutes. During this session, our aesthetic specialist will assess your skin laxity, facial structure, and aesthetic goals. A customized treatment plan will be created to target areas such as the mid-face, jawline, neck, or brows.

02. Treatment Sessions

The Thread Lift procedure usually takes above 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A local anesthetic is applied for comfort, followed by the insertion of dissolvable threads beneath the skin. You’ll be able to see an immediate lifting effect before leaving the clinic. Post-treatment guidelines will be provided to ensure optimal healing.

03. Progressive Results

Mild swelling or bruising may occur in the first few days, but most patients resume normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. As the threads begin to stimulate collagen, results continue to improve over the next 3 to 6 months, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

04. Maintenance

While Thread Lift results typically last 6 to 12 months, maintenance treatments can be scheduled annually to extend results and support long-term skin firmness. Complementary therapies such as dermal fillers or skin boosters may also be recommended based on your goals.

Post-Procedure Precautions

01. Mild erythema, edema, tenderness, and ecchymosis at insertion sites are common and typically resolve within 24–72 hours; localized swelling may persist up to seven days or longer.
02. Apply intermittent cold compresses during the first 48 hours to mitigate swelling and discomfort.
03. Abstain from strenuous physical activity, heavy lifting, inversion maneuvers, and exposure to heat sources (saunas, hot showers) for at least 48–72 hours; limit vigorous exercise for up to two weeks to reduce edema, bruising, and risk of thread migration.
04. Maintain gentle hygiene: cleanse the treated area with a mild, non‑irritating cleanser; avoid massaging, rubbing, or applying pressure to the area.
05. Sleep in a supine position with head elevation for 1–2 weeks to minimize mechanical disruption of threads.
06. Defer elective dental procedures, facial aesthetic treatments (chemical peels, laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion), and additional injectable therapies near the treated region for 2–4 weeks unless cleared by the treating clinician.
07. Avoid tobacco and alcohol for 48–72 hours when possible, as they can exacerbate swelling and impair wound healing.
08. Keep entry‑site dressings (steri‑strips, sutures) clean and dry until removal or provider clearance.
09. Attend scheduled follow‑up visits to monitor healing, assess outcomes, and manage complications promptly.

Safety & Information

Facial Rejuvenation: Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin without the need for surgery.

Important Contraindications

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to a lack of safety data.
Severe Skin Conditions in Treatment Area: Active acne, eczema, psoriasis, or infections at the planned insertion site may increase the risk of complications and should be treated first.
Autoimmune or Connective Tissue Disorders: Patients with conditions like lupus or scleroderma should consult with their physician before treatment.
Bleeding Disorders or Anticoagulant Use: Increased risk of bruising and hematoma; medical clearance is advised for those with clotting issues or on blood thinners.
Unrealistic Expectations or Body Dysmorphia: Thread Lift is not a substitute for facelift surgery and works best for mild to moderate skin laxity. Patient suitability is key for safe and satisfying outcomes.
Allergy to Suture Material: Rare, but patients with known sensitivities to PDO, PLLA, or PCL threads should disclose this during consultation.
