What Are Thread Lifts and How Do They Work?
A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses temporary, absorbable medical threads placed beneath the skin to support selected tissues and improve the appearance of mild to moderate sagging. Some threads provide a lifting effect through small anchoring structures, while others primarily support collagen stimulation.
As the body gradually absorbs the threads, the healing response encourages collagen formation, contributing to skin firmness and texture over time.
A thread lift may be considered for areas such as:
- Cheeks and Midface: To improve the appearance of mild sagging
- Jawline and Facial Oval: To refine facial definition
- Eyebrow Area: To provide subtle elevation in suitable cases
- Neck: To address selected concerns related to skin laxity
- Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines: To improve the appearance of folds associated with changes in facial support
The treatment plan is determined through a medical evaluation to establish which areas may benefit from the treatment.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Thread Lifts in Bucaramanga?
Facial threads can be an excellent option for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity seeking a subtle lift without traditional facelift surgery. Both men and women can get a thread lift and refine their facial contours while maintaining their natural features.
You may consider a face lift using threads if you have:
- Mild sagging around the cheeks or jawline
- Early jowls that soften the definition of your lower face
- Slight eyebrow or neck laxity
- A desire to improve facial firmness without surgery
- Realistic expectations about temporary results and recovery
However, thread lifts are not a substitute for a surgical facelift when significant excess skin or advanced tissue laxity is present. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain medical conditions, active skin infections, medications and previous cosmetic procedures may also affect eligibility.

Thread Lift in Colombia: The FAQs
How Long Do Facial Threads Last?
A thread lift result generally lasts 12–18 months, depending on the type of threads used, your skin condition and other individual factors. A follow-up assessment can help determine when additional treatment may be appropriate.
What Happens Beneath the Skin During a Thread Lift?
Thread lifts involve placing absorbable threads beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Certain threads provide an immediate lifting effect, while others support collagen production over time, helping improve skin firmness. The whole procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes.
How Soon Can You Notice Changes After a PDO Thread Lift?
Some patients notice an immediate lifting effect, particularly with barbed threads. Improvements in skin texture and firmness may develop gradually as collagen production increases. The timing and extent of results vary depending on the threads used and individual response.
Can Thread Lifts Improve Loose Skin Around the Face?
Facial threads can improve mild to moderate skin laxity and refine facial contours without surgery. They may be less suitable for significant sagging, so an evaluation is important to determine whether this treatment or an alternative approach is right for you.
