Threads

THREAD LIFTING TREATMENT

Thread lifting is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure designed to lift and firm relaxed skin tissues of the face and body. This advanced technique uses biocompatible and fully absorbable threads, made with materials such as polylactic acid, polydioxanone (PDO), or caprolactone, all chosen for their safety and ability to stimulate tissue regeneration.

The threads, available in lengths varying between 3 and 20 cm, are inserted into the subcutaneous fat layer using thin needles or cannulas. Their structure is designed to maximize effectiveness: they are equipped with bidirectional cones or micro-hooks that attach to tissues, creating mechanical traction that lifts and repositions relaxed skin.

How the Treatment Works

This anchoring provides an immediate lifting effect, while the fibroblast stimulation induced by the threads promotes collagen and elastin production, improving skin tone and firmness over time.

Once inserted, the threads remain stable in tissues thanks to their ability to firmly adhere to the dermis and subcutaneous fat. The bidirectional arrangement of hooks or cones allows for uniform distribution of lifting, avoiding excessive tension and ensuring a harmonious and natural result. As the threads are absorbed, this process increases skin regeneration, prolonging the lifting effect for months after treatment.

Results and Duration

The effects of thread lifting are both immediate and progressive, with initial lifting visible immediately after the procedure and collagen stimulation benefits developing over subsequent months.

The procedure takes 20-30 minutes and is performed using a thin needle to insert the threads. Results can last about 10-12 months, which is the period during which the threads are naturally absorbed by the body. For optimal results, the treatment can be combined with other regenerative procedures such as skinboosters, Lipogems®, and laser skin rejuvenation technologies.

Non-Surgical Lifting with Immediate and Natural Results

Thread lifting at Image Milan represents the most advanced solution for achieving a face lift without surgery. Using biocompatible and fully absorbable threads in PDO, polylactic acid or caprolactone, the treatment offers an immediate lifting effect with stimulation of natural collagen production. The 20-30 minute procedure allows redefining facial contours, lifting cheekbones and jawline, reducing signs of aging and improving skin texture without prolonged recovery times. The threads, available in different lengths and types, are inserted into subcutaneous tissue through micro-cannulas, creating mechanical anchoring that repositions relaxed tissues harmoniously and durably.

Advanced Technology for Personalized Results

Image Milan uses latest generation threads equipped with bidirectional cones or micro-hooks that attach to tissues, ensuring uniform traction and natural results. The technique allows modulating the number and arrangement of threads based on specific patient needs, creating a completely personalized treatment plan. Results are both immediate and progressive: the lifting effect is visible immediately after treatment, while fibroblast stimulation induced by threads promotes collagen and elastin regeneration in subsequent months, prolonging and improving the effect over time.

Synergistic Combination with Regenerative Medicine

For optimal results, thread lifting can be combined with regenerative treatments like Lipogems®, biostimulators and laser technologies for skin rejuvenation. This integrated approach allows simultaneously acting on different aspects of aging: mechanical lifting, tissue regeneration and skin quality improvement. Results last 10-12 months, period during which threads are naturally absorbed by the body, leaving renewed and more toned tissue.
