A thread lift subtly lifts the skin instead of surgically removing the loose tissue like a facelift or brow lift. Thread lifts use stitches made with specific material to pull the skin slightly for a tighter appearance. Once the sutures are in place, they offer secondary benefits by pushing your body to 'heal' the area by creating more collagen.Collagen is a protein found in abundance in your tissues when you are young, but you start to produce less of the vital compound starting as early as your 20s. The 'fountain of youth' protein keeps your skin supple, voluminous and strong. A thread lift harnesses the growth factors of collagen. The body directs a surge of collagen to the area where the sutures are located for an infusion that improves the structural integrity of your skin and reduces laxity by restoring volume for ongoing rejuvenation.
