A thread lift is a popular procedure to achieve facial refreshment and improve skin quality without having to undergo surgery and the problem of scarring. The procedure is called a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can be performed in the Doctor’s medical suite with a minimum of downtime and will cost much less than a conventional facelift.
Typically the thread lift procedure can be completed within an hour and you can return home within a few hours. There is no scarring associated with thread lifting and results usually last for 3-4 years.

Results continue to improve for between 12 to 18 months after the procedure and results can last for several years.
