What Is Thread Lifting?

Thread lifting is an innovative, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin using biodegradable threads. These threads are gently inserted beneath the skin with fine needles to physically lift the skin and stimulate collagen production, resulting in a natural, youthful appearance without surgery.

At Kairon Polyclinic Dubai, our expert practitioners use the latest thread lifting techniques to provide clients with  effective alternative to traditional facelifts — delivering noticeable rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

How Does Thread Lifting Work?

Thread lifting uses specially designed PDO (Polydioxanone), PLLA, or PCL threads that dissolve naturally over time. Once inserted under the skin, the threads:

  • Create a physical support structure that lifts and repositions sagging tissues.
  • Stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that improve skin elasticity and firmness.
  • Gradually dissolve over 6 to 12 months, while the collagen framework remains, maintaining the lifted effect for up to 18 months or longer.

This dual-action mechanism allows for both immediate and long-term improvement in skin texture and tightness.

Who Needs Thread Lifting?

Thread lifting is ideal for individuals who:

  • Are experiencing early signs of skin sagging or mild to moderate facial laxity.
  • Desire a non-surgical, natural-looking facelift without the risks and downtime of traditional surgery.
  • Want to improve the appearance of jowls, cheeks, jawline, neck, or brow area.
  • Prefer a quick procedure with minimal recovery time.
  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about treatment outcomes.

While thread lifting can be used alone, it is often combined with other aesthetic treatments such as Botox or fillers for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

What Causes Skin Sagging That Thread Lifting Can Help?

Skin sagging occurs due to a combination of factors:

  • Aging: Over time, the skin loses collagen and elastin, essential for firmness and elasticity.
  • Gravity: Constant pull causes skin to droop, especially around the jawline and cheeks.
  • Sun damage: UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown.
  • Lifestyle factors: Smoking, poor diet, and stress contribute to premature skin aging.

Thread lifting addresses these issues by restoring structural support and stimulating natural collagen regeneration, helping you maintain a youthful, lifted appearance.

Where Can Thread Lifting Be Used?

At Kairon Polyclinic, thread lifting is commonly used to target:

  • Jawline and jowls — to redefine and contour the lower face
  • Cheeks — to restore volume and lift sagging skin
  • Neck — to reduce loose skin and improve firmness
  • Brow and forehead area — to lift drooping eyebrows and reduce forehead lines
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines — to smooth deep facial creases

Our specialists customize the treatment based on your individual facial anatomy and goals for natural, balanced results.
