What Is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a non-surgical face lift method in which PDO (Polydioxanone) or PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) threads are inserted beneath the skin to provide an instant lifting effect in the face and neck area. The threads are placed at strategic points beneath the skin using cannulas, lifting sagging tissues upward while simultaneously stimulating collagen production for long-term skin tightening.
The procedure is completed in 30-45 minutes under local anesthesia. In addition to the instant lifting effect, the threads gradually stimulate the skin's own collagen production, producing progressively more visible results over 2-3 months. The results last 12-18 months and may vary depending on the type of thread used and the patient's skin structure. It is one of the most effective non-surgical alternatives for those seeking an alternative to surgical face lift.
Factors Affecting the Price
- Thread Type: PDO threads are more affordable and remain effective for 8-12 months, while PLLA threads provide longer-lasting results (12-18 months) and are priced higher.
- Number of Threads: Between 4 and 12 threads may be used depending on the size of the treatment area and the degree of sagging. Each additional thread increases the cost.
- Treatment Area: Different areas such as the cheeks, jawline, brows, and neck each require a different number of threads and technique.
- Physician and Clinic: The experience of the specialist physician, their thread lift certifications, and the clinic's location directly affect the price.
- Combination Treatments: When thread lift is combined with Botox, dermal fillers, or PRP, the total cost changes but the results are enhanced.
