Threads Treatment Areas

Below is a diagram of areas that are commonly treated with Threads:

Smooth Threads are placed under the skin in a hashtag pattern to bring back lost blood flow in the treatment area. This process assists with building collagen and repairing/tightening wrinkled and crepey skin. (The thread is fully absorbed into the body in about 3 to 6 months.)
‍
Smooth Threads Procedure Details:

The in-office procedure typically takes approximately the same amount of time as a Botox procedure—roughly 10-15 minutes.
This procedure is performed under local, rather than general anesthesia. (Meaning that patients can drive themselves home and look after themselves immediately after having their procedure.)
Some patients will experience a little bit of soreness, redness and swelling after having this procedure and may wish to take the day off, but most can return to work immediately.
Patients are generally re-evaluated within 2 months of their procedure, to see if there is a need for additional collagen stimulation. Smooth threads are placed under the skin in a crosshatch ("hashtag") pattern, which encourages blood flow and collagen production in the treated area. Over time, that helps firm and smooth wrinkled or crepey skin. The threads themselves are fully absorbed by your body within about three to six months.

A few practical things to know:
-The procedure is done in-office and is quick, usually around 10 to 15 minutes, similar to a Botox appointment.
‍
-It is done under local anesthesia rather than general, so you are awake and can drive yourself home and go about your day afterward.
‍
-Some women have a little soreness, redness, or swelling for a bit. Most are fine to head back to work right away, though you are welcome to take the day if you would rather take it easy. We will usually have you back within about two months to see how your skin is responding and whether any additional collagen stimulation would help.

A thread lift uses dissolvable lifting threads to create a subtle but visible lift in the skin, for a firmer, more refreshed look. The threads are absorbed by your body over the following 6 to 12 months. Beyond the lift itself, the threads work in a second way: placing them prompts your body's natural healing response, which sends a surge of collagen to the treated areas. That matters because collagen is a big part of what keeps skin firm, and our natural production of it drops with age, which is part of what leads to wrinkling and sagging.

A few practical things to know:

The procedure is done in-office and usually takes about 45 minutes. You will notice some lift right away, with the collagen-related improvement continuing to build over the following weeks.
It is done under local anesthesia rather than general, so you are awake and can drive yourself home and look after yourself afterward.
Some women have a little soreness, redness, or swelling and may want to take the rest of the day to relax, though most are fine to head back to work right away.
