Skin Tightening with Thread Lift: Lifting Sagging Skin with PDO Threads

When facial skin begins to sag, a thread lift is another option to help support and tighten the skin. At Kazumi Clinic, we use dissolvable PDO threads (such as cog threads), which are safe and naturally absorbable over time.

What is a Thread Lift?

A thread lift is a highly popular facial skin tightening innovation where a doctor uses needles to insert dissolvable threads beneath the subcutaneous fat layer of the skin. When the threads are pulled, the sagging skin is hooked and lifted in the direction of the threads, instantly making the face look firmer and more slender without the need for a surgical facelift (Non-surgical facelift).

Double Action Performance

A thread lift offers two primary benefits: 1. Mechanical Lifting: The barbs of the threads (Barbs or Cogs) grasp the subcutaneous tissue and lift the skin immediately after the treatment. 2. Biological Rejuvenation: When threads are inside the skin, the body undergoes a self-healing process, producing collagen and elastin fibers around the threads. This leads to skin tightening (Skin Tightening), pore reduction, and firmer-looking skin in the long run.

Who is Suitable for a Thread Lift?

• People with sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, drooping corners of the mouth, or a double chin.
• People who want a more defined and sharper jawline (Jawline).
• People whose skin is starting to lose elasticity but are not yet at the stage of needing a surgical facelift.
• Suitable for people aged around 30-50 years (if there is severe sagging, it may need to be combined with other methods).

Dissolvable Thread Innovation at Kazumi Clinic

At our clinic, we choose 360-degree dissolvable PDO (Polydioxanone) molding cog threads (Molding Cog), which feature barbs in all directions. This helps grasp the skin firmly and lasts longer than older thread types, without slipping or breaking easily. The PDO material is safety-certified to dissolve 100% completely, leaving no residue.

Self-Care After a Thread Lift

• There may be bruising or swelling in the treated area, which will gradually subside within 1-2 weeks.
• During the first 1-2 weeks, avoid opening your mouth too wide (such as during dental work or laughing hard), avoid facial massages, and avoid sleeping on your side to prevent thread movement.
• Take pain relievers and anti-swelling medication as prescribed by the doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is a thread lift painful? A: Before the procedure, the doctor will inject local anesthetic along the thread pathway. Once the anesthetic takes effect, you will only feel something moving under your skin but will not feel pain. Q: How long do the results last? A: The threads will naturally dissolve completely within approximately 6-8 months, but the collagen network created by the body remains, allowing the tightening results to last for 1-2 years.

Medical Disclaimer: Results may vary from person to person and must always be assessed by a doctor prior to treatment.
