Benefits of Facial Threads

The facial thread lift offers several notable benefits compared to surgical facelifts:

• Instant lifting effect that improves sagging in areas like jowls, cheeks, brow line, and neck.
• Stimulation of collagen for longer-lasting skin firmness and elasticity.
• Minimally invasive procedure with little to no visible scarring.
• Reduced downtime and quicker recovery compared to surgery.
• Natural-looking results that enhance facial contours without the risks and costs of surgery.

Thread Lift Procedure

The thread lift procedure generally takes about 45 minutes to an hour and is performed under local anesthesia for comfort. Your provider creates tiny entry points on the face or neck, and a thin needle or cannula is used to insert the absorbable threads beneath the skin. The threads have barbs that anchor into the tissue, allowing the specialist to gently lift and reposition sagging skin. After placement, the threads remain under the skin, and the entry points heal quickly, becoming virtually invisible. Over the following weeks, new collagen forms around the threads, enhancing the lift and improving skin texture naturally.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a thread lift is typically swift, with most patients experiencing mild swelling or bruising that resolves within a few days. Because it is a non-surgical procedure, patients can usually return to normal activities shortly after the procedure.

Results appear immediately with lifting visible once swelling subsides, and these improvements can last from 12 to 18 months due to ongoing collagen production. Maintenance treatments can extend these benefits over time.

Who Is a Candidate for a Facial Thread Lift?

A facial thread lift is an excellent option for men and women in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona, who seek a non-surgical facelift to address early signs of facial aging such as mild to moderate skin laxity, jowling, and sagging eyebrows. Ideal candidates are typically in their 30s to 60s with realistic expectations about the procedure’s effects: immediate lift with gradual collagen enhancement, but not the dramatic results of a traditional facelift. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Ghafouri to assess your individual anatomy and ensure the best personalized approach.
