At JSCC Wellness it becomes really clear when we talk to people that they do not lack information about thread lifts, they just lack clarity about what to expect. A thread lift seems simple. It lifts sagging skin so you do not have to stay in the hospital. You do not need surgery. The decision to get a thread lift deserves a lot of thought. A thread lift is not something people do to look better, it is a medical procedure that requires the right person, the right technique and realistic expectations.
Here are ten important things to think about before you choose to get a thread lift.
- Understand What a Thread Lift Can Do
A thread lift is a treatment that provides a gentle lifting and tightening effect. This type of treatment works well for patients who have mild-to-moderate skin laxity in the jawline, cheeks, and eyebrows. However, it is important to note that a thread lift is not a substitute for surgical facelift surgery. If you have a lot of loose skin, a thread lift may not give you the results you want.. When you know what to expect you will be happier with the results.
- Your Age and Skin Quality Matter More Than You Think
Thread lifts work for people between their late 30s and early 50s who have skin types such as:
*mild
*sagging
*good collagen
*thick skin
If you have thin skin you might be able to see the threads. If you have heavy skin it might pull the threads down. So it is really important to check your skin before you get a thread lift.
- Type of Threads Used
Not all threads are the same. They are made of materials like PDO, PLLA and PCL and they last for different amounts of time. Some threads are for lifting while others help your skin make more collagen. If you use the wrong type of thread you might get results that do not last. So you should ask your doctor:
*what kind of threads they use
*how long they last
*if they can be absorbed by your body.
- The Skill of the Practitioner
The way the threads are put in is really important. If they are not put in correctly you might get:
*facial contours
*puckering
*pain
*asymmetry
A good doctor will study your face carefully before putting in the threads. They will make sure the threads are put in the direction to give you the best results.
- Realistic Downtime Expectations
People often think that thread lifts are quick and easy. You will still need some time to recover. You might get some swelling, tightness and bruising. You will need to:
*avoid making movements with your face for a week or two
*sleep on your back
*not exercise too much
If you plan to get a thread lift before an event make sure you have time to recover first.
- Longevity of Results
Thread lifts do not last forever. The results usually last for a year depending on your skin type, lifestyle and if you smoke or spend a lot of time in the sun. Your skin will make collagen, which can help the results last longer. You might need to get more treatments to keep the results.
- Combination Treatments Often Work
While thread lifting is an effective way to create a lifted appearance in the skin, there are no improvements regarding skin texture, pigmentation or volume to be gained from these procedures. Combining thread lifting with other procedures (fillers, skin boosters, energy-based machines) may show improvement as a preventative method. A plan that uses all of these together will provide a balanced result.
- Possible Risk Factors
There may be some risks associated with using thread lifting. Although safe, thread lifting is a relatively new procedure that may have unknown risk factors. You might get an infection, see the threads. Nerve irritation is also possible. A good doctor and a clean environment can reduce these risks.
- Cost Should Not Be the Deciding Factor
Do not choose a thread lift just because it is cheap. Low-cost procedures might compromise:
*quality of the threads
*the sterility of the environment
*the experience of the doctor
If you need to get it done again it may cost you more if you don’t do it right the first time. It is better to invest in a doctor to get the best results.
- Your Motivation and Timing
You should get a thread lift because you want to feel more confident not just because you see it in the media. Because of variations in people’s faces, something that works for one person may not work out well for another. Consider the timing also; if you have a high amount of stress and/or are sick or going through changes then it may not be the best time for you to have a thread lift.
What Results Typically Look Like
You will see the results right away but they will look even better after the swelling goes down. Your face will look more defined, your cheeks will be higher nd your facial contour will be improved. Collagen is produced by your body over time and causes your face to wrinkle less than what would normally occur.

Final Thoughts
