What is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens your skin for a younger-looking appearance. It works to stimulate collagen production in the skin to create firmer, more lifted skin. With a few insertions of smooth and/or barbed thread, you can achieve subtle improvements to the look of the face.
But, while a thread lift can provide significant results, compared to a facelift, the results are much less obvious, and those subtle results don’t last as long. It’s why Dr. Gilpin typically recommends a facelift for those looking for a younger and natural-looking appearance.
Ideal Candidates for a Thread Lift
Because a thread lift doesn’t provide as significant results as a facelift, Dr. Gilpin typically recommends that patients have a facelift instead of this non-surgical procedure.
When you come in for your consultation, he will review your medical history, your goals, and concerns to determine the best treatment options for you.
Thread Lift Procedure
During a thread lift, the surgeon uses specialized sutures to stitch up and tighten portions of the face to smooth out the skin and trigger collagen production. While it’s simpler and quicker than a facelift, with a facelift surgery, you can achieve beautiful, long-lasting, and natural-looking results that can last for years, if not decades.
Dr. Gilpin will walk you through the facelift surgery process and show you how it can give you the improvements you desire.
