The skin on the face can be tightened using a thread lift, a minimally invasive cosmetic technique. A cosmetic surgeon can minimize the appearance of aging by pulling up parts of the skin using threads during a thread lift.

The goal of a thread lift is to make the skin on the face tighter. It is a far less intrusive facelift substitute.

A temporary suture, or “thread,” is used by the cosmetic surgeon during a thread lift to raise up specific areas of skin.

A tiny needle or cannula is inserted under the skin by the surgeon. Then, they might use this to raise the skin up by inserting threads beneath it.

The skin is pulled up by inserting and slightly pulling threads and barbs, elevating and tightening the face.

Thread lifts can encourage the body to direct significant amounts of collagen to the treated areas, in addition to raising the skin and giving it a tighter appearance.

As collagen can help slow down or postpone the aging process of the skin, this may also have an impact on how the skin looks as it ages.
