Yes, thread lifts work, and they’re approved by the FDA. In fact, thread lifts give patients immediate and lasting results. Thread lifts can lift, tighten, and contour the treated area, like the face or another area. They can also stimulate collagen and elastin production in the area, and this can provide a long-term effect. The thing about collagen and elastin is that they’re necessary in order to maintain a youthful appearance, but our bodies produce less and less of them as we age. Less collagen and elastin means falling cheeks, old-looking jowls, and a sagging neck, but a thread lift can improve those issues by boosting collagen and elastin in the treated area.
