Threads
Dermal Lifting, Structural Anchoring & Collagen Stimulation
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure in which absorbable threads are placed beneath the skin to provide temporary tissue support. At Ageology, thread treatment may be considered for selected areas of mild to moderate facial laxity after assessment.
The exact thread material varies by product, so the term pdo threads should only be used for a product that is actually made from PDO.
What is Threads Treatment?
A thread lift uses absorbable threads inserted into selected subcutaneous tissue planes. Depending on thread design and placement, they may provide temporary mechanical support while the surrounding tissue undergoes a healing response.
The procedure does not reproduce the degree of tissue repositioning possible with a surgical facelift.

Real Transformations: Threads Before and After
Some support may be visible after the procedure, but swelling, bruising or tightness can temporarily affect the appearance. Results vary and diminish over time.
Possible complications include swelling, bruising, pain, dimpling, asymmetry, infection, palpable or visible threads and thread extrusion. Uncommon injury to nearby nerves or blood vessels is also possible.
