French Thread Lift

The French thread lift is usually done under local anesthesia. During the procedure, fine threads are inserted under the skin and pulled in a specific direction. These threads stimulate collagen production, increasing skin firmness and tightening the skin over time. The threads are typically made from biodegradable materials like PDO (polydioxanone), PLA (polylactic acid), or PCL (polycaprolactone). 

Procedure

The procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treated area. The French thread lift provides rapid improvement in the jawline, cheekbones, and other areas prone to sagging. 

**Benefits of French Thread Lift**: 

• **Natural Rejuvenation**: The French thread lift rejuvenates and tightens the skin without surgery, offering a natural result. 
• **Facial Feature Definition**: It adds volume to areas like the chin, cheekbones, and jawline, enhancing facial features.
• **Increased Skin Elasticity**: The threads boost collagen production, enhancing the skin's elasticity and tightness.
• **Quick Recovery**: Since no surgery is involved, recovery is fast, and patients can quickly return to their daily activities.

Recovery Process

Recovery after a French thread lift is generally fast. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur, but these symptoms typically resolve within a few days. The effects of the procedure are visible immediately, and the final result becomes clear in 2-3 weeks. The threads dissolve naturally over time, and results typically last for 3-6 years, after which treatment can be repeated as needed.
