Recovery Guide
What to expect during Thread Lifting recovery
Thread Lifting (Silhouette or PDO lifting) is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses specialized dissolvable threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. The procedure works by inserting medical-grade threads under the skin, which gently pull and reposition the tissue for a firmer, more youthful look. Over time, the threads stimulate collagen production, further improving skin texture, elasticity, and tone. This treatment is ideal for patients looking to reduce early signs of aging, such as nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, and jawline laxity, without undergoing surgical facelift procedures.
