COSMETIC THREAD LIFTS
A non-surgical lift for the face and neck
Cosmetic thread lifts use Les Encres® absorbable PDO (polydioxanone) threads, placed beneath the skin during a quick in-office procedure. The threads gently lift and reposition soft tissue, helping restore the “V” shape of the face, especially the lower third, which can be harder to address with neuromodulators or fillers alone.
As the threads are naturally absorbed, they stimulate collagen, so skin continues to look firmer over time. PDO has a long history of use in surgical settings and is well tolerated by most patients.
What thread lifts treat
- Jowls and a softened jawline
- Brow droop
- Marionette lines and smile lines
- Mild to moderate laxity and crepiness on the face and neck
- Select body areas, such as the décolleté, arms and knees
Best for: Patients with mild to moderate laxity who want a natural-looking lift with less downtime than surgery.
Want volume and contour as well as lift?
Ashley’s signature Luxury Lift uses advanced injectable techniques for non-surgical facial balancing. Your provider may recommend threads, the Luxury Lift, or a combination of both.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is there downtime?
Most patients return to work and daily activities quickly. Mild swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur and typically resolves within days. Your provider will review aftercare with you.
How long do results last?
The threads are absorbed by the body over time, while the collagen they stimulate helps support your results. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations for your skin at your consultation.
Am I a good candidate?
Thread lifts are best for mild to moderate laxity and crepiness. Patients with very thick skin or tissue, or more significant laxity, may be better suited to other options, which your provider will discuss.
