A thread lift uses fine, dissolvable PDO threads to physically lift sagging skin and trigger fresh collagen underneath — without the cuts, stitches or downtime of a surgical facelift, expertly performed at PRALASH Dermystique & Dentique.
A thread lift uses fine, dissolvable PDO (polydioxanone) threads — the same material used in surgical stitches — inserted under the skin through a needle or blunt cannula, with no cuts or stitches involved. The threads mechanically lift sagging tissue immediately, then trigger the body to lay down fresh collagen around them over the following months, which is what keeps the lift going after the threads themselves dissolve.
It solves a problem neither Botox nor filler can: physical sagging. Botox relaxes muscles that cause expression lines. Filler adds volume to hollow areas. Neither can lift skin that has genuinely started to droop — that's typically once jawline or neck laxity shows up, from the mid-40s onward, though it varies by skin type and genetics.
If Botox or filler turns out to be the better fit for your concern, Dr. Premalatha will say so directly — rather than steering you toward whichever service is easiest to sell.
The most common request — threads redefine a jawline that's started to blur into the neck from mild sagging.
Lifts sagging midface tissue and softens nasolabial folds by repositioning tissue upward, not just filling it.
Addresses early loose skin and banding on the neck before it becomes a candidate for surgical correction.
Threads go wherever skin has started to lose its mechanical support — the jawline, cheeks, neck, and occasionally the tail of the eyebrow for a subtle lift. The number of threads and their direction depends on exactly where and how much your skin has sagged.
Your exact treatment map depends on your skin's laxity and the result you want. Dr. Premalatha confirms the real plan at your consultation, in person, before a single thread goes in.
| Area | What It Corrects |
|---|---|
| Jawline | Jowls and mild sagging along the jaw |
| Cheeks | Midface sagging, nasolabial fold softening |
| Neck | Loose skin, early laxity |
| Eyebrows | Mild droop at the outer tail of the brow |
This table is a starting point, not a prescription — your exact plan is confirmed at consultation.
Most patients describe the sensation as pressure and pulling rather than pain, since the area is numbed first. The procedure takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on how many threads are placed. Expect tightness, mild swelling or visible dimpling for the first few days — this settles as the tissue adjusts. Avoid wide jaw movements, facials, dental work and strenuous exercise for around 2 weeks.
A visible lift from the mechanical effect of the threads themselves.
Swelling and tightness settle; the lift starts to look more natural.
Collagen builds around the threads, gradually firming the skin further.
Results last as collagen production continues even after the threads dissolve.
Pricing is per thread and per area, not a flat session fee, so your total depends on how many threads your face needs.
If you're comparing clinics on price alone, ask what thread type and count is actually included — a low quoted number sometimes means fewer threads than your face needs for a visible result.
Skip it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection in the treatment area, have a bleeding or clotting disorder, or are on blood thinners without medical clearance — always share your full medical history at consultation.

Many patients time a thread lift a month out from a wedding or milestone event, then add a HydraFacial or a light Botox touch-up closer to the date. If volume loss is part of the picture too, dermal filler is often planned alongside it rather than instead of it.
