About Threads
Thread Lifts are an advanced minimally-invasive treatment using dissolvable PDO (Polydioxanone) or PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) threads to lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. This innovative procedure provides both immediate lifting effects and long-term collagen stimulation. The threads are strategically placed beneath the skin to create a supportive scaffold, delivering natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery.
