Thread Lift

Thread Lift In Mumbai By Dr. Saumil Shah

What Is A Thread Lift?

A thread lift, offered by Dr. Saumil Shah in Mumbai, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging facial tissue using temporary sutures. These sutures are strategically placed under the skin to lift specific areas of the face, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance without the need for surgery.

Causes/Why should you consider a Thread Lift

Several factors can lead to sagging skin and loss of facial volume, including aging, genetics, weight loss, and sun damage. A thread lift may be considered to address these concerns and achieve a more youthful appearance without undergoing invasive surgery.

Types of Thread Lift

PDO Threads:

Made of polydioxanone, these threads gradually dissolve over time, stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results.

PLLA Threads:

Poly-L-lactic acid threads also stimulate collagen production but offer more gradual results compared to PDO threads.

Barbed Threads:

These threads have tiny barbs or cones along their length, allowing them to grasp onto and lift the skin more effectively.

Those looking for a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift surgery.
