Lunch Time Non-Surgical Facelift
PK
Dr. Piyush Kumar
Board-Certified Physician

Thread lift provides a non-invasive, safe alternative to traditional facelift surgery, reducing sagging around cheeks, jawline, neck, arms, abdomen, and above knees.
Thread Types: PDO and PLLA threads serve different purposes. Smooth threads stimulate collagen production, while cog and barb threads provide lifting. All are FDA-cleared and absorbable over weeks to months.
Results: Noticeable improvements appear immediately, becoming more pronounced as collagen increases. While surgical facelifts last 2-5 years, thread lifts typically last 1-2 years.
The Procedure: Performed in 60-90 minutes under topical or local anesthesia. After consultation and goal review, the area is cleansed and numbed. Threads are inserted via hollow needles that are removed after placement. Cogs or barbs hold tissue firmly, creating the lift.
Advantages: Natural look enhancement, minimal risks, no surgery, lower costs than surgical facelift, and minimal downtime—truly a "lunch time facelift."
Ideal Candidates: Anyone experiencing early signs of aging from mid-30s onwards may benefit from thread lift treatments.
