Lift & Tightening
Lift, Firm, and Turn Back Time
Lift, tighten, and rejuvenate without surgery using our advanced energy-based and thread technologies for a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Unless you have Venus’s godly gifts, early signs of aging sneak up on all of us.
But it’s not like we “lesser mortals” can’t level the playing field, right?
We’re guessing you’re not yet ready for a full facelift surgery. You want natural-looking improvements – preferably without downtime and scars as bonuses.
At Allure Medical, our thread lifts can give you that executive polish. Just because they’re milder doesn’t mean they won’t deliver.
The Stitch That Unveils Your Youthful Spark
If bothersome wrinkles, sagging skin, or loss of facial volume is keeping you from looking your best, Thread Lifts may be the right choice for you.
This innovative approach uses dissolvable suture threads to provide a subtle lift while stimulating your body’s collagen production for longer-lasting results. Smooth fine lines, lift sagging cheeks, shape the jawline, and define facial contours for a revitalized appearance.
Unlike a surgical facelift requiring significant downtime, Thread Lifts offer minimal discomfort and a short recovery period.
They can be combined with Botox®, dermal fillers, or our Allure Medical Magic Lift for a complete physical rewind that lasts.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Thread lifts are suitable for both men and women starting to notice unwanted signs of facial aging, usually in their 30s to 60s. Good candidates include:
- Mild to moderate sagging skin, jowls, or lost facial definition
- Not ready for a surgical facelift — want minimal downtime, no scarring
- Desire a rejuvenated appearance that still looks natural
- Seeking a temporary lift before a later surgical facelift
- Want a maintenance solution for early signs of aging
How Do Thread Lifts Work?
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are the key to this minimally invasive lifting technique. PDO is an absorbable surgical suture material that has been used safely for decades in surgical procedures.
The threads inserted under the skin have tiny cones or barbs along them that act like little anchors to lift tissue upward as the thread is tightened. The threads stimulate collagen production while being gradually absorbed by the body over time.
Some facts about the threads:
Made of polydioxanone (PDO) – safe, absorbable suture material
Dissolves completely within 4-6 months
Tiny cones/barbs along threads anchor and lift tissue
Stimulates collagen production for longer-lasting effects
A variety of thread patterns and configurations are available
The procedure does not require any surgical incisions. Using a thin needle, the threads are skillfully inserted under the skin through tiny puncture points. The threads are then gently tightened, pulling tissue upward into the desired lifted position before the ends are trimmed.
Over time, they provide sustained lifting effects while collagen regeneration takes over to naturally volumize the treatment areas.

What Makes a Thread Lift Different From a Surgical Facelift?
Considering a thread lift but unsure how it compares to a traditional surgical facelift? We’re here to explain the differences and put your mind at ease.
While surgical facelifts produce dramatic results by repositioning and tightening facial and neck tissues, they also come with extended recovery periods, visible scarring, and other invasive drawbacks. Thread Lifts offer a minimally invasive alternative using dissolvable sutures to provide a subtle yet impressive lift. Here’s how they compare:
Thread Lift vs. Surgical Facelift
| Traditional Surgical Facelift | Thread Lift |
|---|---|
| Dramatic results by repositioning drooping face and neck tissues | Subtle but noticeable lift using absorbable sutures |
| General anesthesia required | Local anesthesia or no anesthesia |
| Visible scarring along incision lines | No visible scarring |
| Significant swelling and bruising | Minimal swelling or bruising |
| Weeks of recovery time needed | Little downtime needed |
| Results last 7-10 years on average | Results last 1-3 years on average |
While not as dramatic, Thread Lifts offer a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate the face and neck by using dissolvable sutures to lift and contour the skin.
The threads stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting effects while avoiding the extended downtime and visible scarring of a full facelift surgery.
Thread lift techniques and materials have also improved vastly over the years. Today’s PDO (polydioxanone) threads crafted from a safe surgical suture material produce more impressive lifting and volumizing effects that last.
Avoid the pain and recovery of a facelift, and choose the convenient, minimally invasive thread lift instead.
