Threads

About Thread Lift

A thread lift involves inserting fine, absorbable sutures (made from materials like PDO, PLLA, or PCL) under the skin to immediately lift sagging areas—such as the brows, cheeks, jawline, jowls, and neck—while also stimulating collagen production over time.

How it Works

Maximum Efficiency

Best suited for adults in their 30s to early 50s with mild to moderate sagging, and those wanting rejuvenated yet natural-looking results without adding volume.

The Comfort Of The Procedure

Duration: Around 30–60 minutes under local anesthesia.
Downtime: Minimal—typically 2 days to 1 week. Swelling/bruising are common but manageable.
Results: Immediate visible lift, with continuation over 4–6 weeks as collagen builds.

Persistent Effect Up To 6 Months

Effects can last from 6 months up to 18 months, depending on materials and technique

Certified Drug Safety

Thread lifts utilize absorbable sutures (like PDO, PLLA, or PCL), and globally many countries—including Saudi Arabia—do regulate their use. The SFDA classifies medical devices and generally requires approval for any thread-lift materials used in aesthetic procedures.

Quick answers to questions you may have

What happens during this procedure?

Preparation

The treatment area is cleaned and disinfected.
A local anesthetic is injected to numb the area — general anesthesia is not needed.

Thread Insertion

Using a thin needle or cannula, the doctor inserts the threads just beneath the skin.
The threads have tiny barbs or cones that anchor into the tissue.
As the thread is pulled tight, it lifts and repositions the skin, producing an immediate but subtle lift.
Threads are usually placed along vectors (cheeks, jawline, neck) for natural results.

Trimming and Finishing

Once in place, the ends of the threads are trimmed and hidden under the skin.
The area is cleaned again, and sometimes ice is applied to reduce swelling.

Will I lack facial expressions after treatment?

Short answer: No, you should not lose facial expressions after a threads treatment — if the procedure is done correctly.

Why You Likely Won’t Lose Facial Expressions:

Muscles aren’t paralyzed: Unlike Botox, thread lifts don’t affect muscle function. The threads are placed under the skin, not into the muscles that control expressions.
Temporary and absorbable threads: Most threads used (e.g., PDO threads) dissolve over several months and stimulate collagen production, so the effects are not permanent.
Targeted areas: Skilled practitioners place threads in areas that lift sagging skin (cheeks, jawline, neck), avoiding muscles responsible for expressions.

Will I lose my sense of feeling where I have the threads?

You might feel a bit numb or “weird” where the threads are placed for a short time, but this typically resolves. Permanent loss of feeling is very uncommon when the procedure is done correctly.

When is it safe to have another treatment?

Every 6 to 12 months is the general recommendation for a repeat treatment, depending on:

Factor	Typical Timing
PDO threads (most common)	6–12 months after the initial treatment
PLLA or PCL threads (longer-lasting types)	12–18 months or more
Minor touch-up	As early as 3–6 months, if needed and safe
