Face threads, also known as thread lifts, are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face. These threads are made from biocompatible materials such as polydioxanone (PDO), polylactic acid (PLA), or polycaprolactone (PCA), and they are inserted under the skin using a fine needle. Once in place, they provide a lifting effect, stimulating collagen production and gradually improving the skin's firmness and elasticity over time.
The procedure is popular for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, sagging cheeks, and jowls, providing a youthful appearance without the need for surgery. Thread lifts have gained traction in aesthetic medicine because they offer short recovery times and natural-looking results.
