Overview
Custom Thread Lifting pairs precise mechanical lifting with energy-based regeneration. Absorbable threads (PDO, PCL, or PLLA) instantly reposition sagging tissue and act as a scaffold for new collagen, while Ultherapy tightens the deep SMAS and Titanium RF refines texture and surface elasticity. Thread directions are tailored to each face, creating an immediate lift that keeps improving as collagen rebuilds—firm yet naturally mobile.

Why it works
Threads reposition sagging skin at once, while ultrasound and radiofrequency regenerate collagen for strength that builds over months.
The SMAS, dermis, and subcutaneous layers are each stimulated so firmness is restored from every depth.
Thread direction and energy settings follow your facial structure for smooth, natural movement without stiffness.
Treatment Areas
Precisely targeted and placed, tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Thread + Ultherapy
Threads mechanically lift and anchor the contour while Ultherapy reinforces the deep SMAS for a stable, structural lift.
Thread + Titanium RF
Threads secure the facial outline while radiofrequency heat refines texture, pores, and surface elasticity from within.
Cheeks & Mid-Face
Threads add instant lift while deep energy strengthens elasticity for a natural V-line effect.
Neck
Threads raise sagging neck skin while ultrasound promotes deep collagen regeneration for a graceful contour.
Jawline
Threads redefine a slack jawline while energy tightens the surrounding skin.
Eyes & Forehead
Fine threads micro-lift the upper face while Titanium RF improves surface firmness and texture.
