Thread Lift

Thread Lift is a minimally-invasive treatment that lifts deeper layers of the skin to reposition sagging mid-face tissue and provide a more youthful appearance. Thread Lift can also be performed to lift the neck and brows, or outline the lips.

How does Thread Lift work?

Thread Lift uses threads made from a common suture material that are inserted under the skin by a small injection. The threads have small “cones” or “barbs” that grip the tissue and hold it in place as the threads are positioned to achieve a natural, lifted contour that gives a more youthful appearance. Over time collagen forms to help support the new contour while the threads and cones dissolve like other internal sutures. Selection of proper threads is key to achieving a natural result.

Frequently Asked questions

Is Thread Lift safe?

All threads used in our office are FDA cleared for lifting facial tissue. Dr. Cox will review risks, benefits and contraindications with you during the consult, and help you decide if this is appropriate for you. Dr. Cox stresses the importance of finding a physician well versed in underlying facial anatomy to perform this procedure.

Thread Lift downtime

Thread Lift is well tolerated and has little downtime. Bruising and swelling are expected and usually resolve within 5-7 days. Dr. Cox will often recommend you begin taking Arnica Montana, an oral supplement, three days before treatment to minimize potential bruising. Mild soreness in the treatment area is normal and should subside within a few days.

Thread Lift RESULTS

You will see noticeable results from Thread Lift immediately, with maximum benefit appearing 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. Because threads are dissolved in the body over 12-15 months, many patients opt to do treatment every 12-18 months to maintain their desired results.

YOUR TREATMENT TEAM

Dr. Cox is the only provider of threading treatments in our office. An internationally recognized expert of these treatments, Dr. Cox believes they should be performed by a physician with an intimate understanding of facial anatomy, product selection and safety measures.
