ThreadLift is primarily used to address sagging skin and loss of skin elasticity in the face and neck. Laser Light currently uses this procedure to lift sagging cheeks, reduce the appearance of jowls, tighten the forehead, and lift the eyebrows.

The idea behind ThreadLift is similar to a facelift, but without the surgical removal of excess skin or surgical repositioning of the tissues beneath.
During treatment, we will make small puncture incisions at the treatment site. Then, small PDO threads will be inserted under the skin by using a very thin cannula.
The number of threads will depend on the specific problem being treated. For example, in order to lift sagging skin around the cheeks and jaw, your provider may utilize three, or even more, threads on each side. One of the benefits of using more threads is that they can cover a larger area, providing a lifting effect that is more dispersed and looks more natural.
After the desired amount of tightening has been achieved, the protruding ends of the threads are clipped off. The threads underneath the skin are completely invisible.
Yes! What makes ThreadLift so effective is the presence of tiny barbs that protrude along the entire length of thread. When the thread is pulled, the soft barbs latch onto the tissues and skin, to pull on the entire area. Because no single point sustains the brunt of the pulling, the resulting lift is very uniform, and the treatment area looks smooth and natural.
Further, because the PDO threads are very soft, no one will be able to feel them under your skin.
No, the procedure is very comfortable and typically don’t feel any discomfort due to the local anesthetic. Further, due to the decreased trauma to skin and underlying tissues, the recovery from this treatment is much more comfortable than from a surgical face lift.
Melasma is caused by overproduction of melanin in the skin, usually by hormonal changes. It usually requires 4-6 treatments per area. Patients need to make sure they are using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 50 and with broad spectrum coverage and avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Veins on the nose and in the cheeks are caused by different conditions such as rosacea, medications, over exfoliating of the skin, allergies and sun damage.
Spider veins are caused by excess pressure deep within the leg causing the veins to make small spider looking veins to help distribute the excess pressure. T
Active acne, including cystic acne responds well to laser treatments. Laser treatments breakdown excess kertin formation within the pores and they kill the acne bacteria that causes breakouts. The lasers remove excess cells to expose impurities held within the skin layers. The lasers also cut down on the inflammation caused by acne. Acne scarring is the result of active acne breakouts. The lasers help to remodel the scars smoothing and easing their appearance.
Cellulite is a condition of the skin that affects 80% of women and 10% of men. It is the “hail damage” appearance of skin in certain areas of the body such as the buttocks and thighs. Cellulite occurs where the fat cells underneath the skin form scar tissue that then attaches to the skin. The scar tissue then causes the dimpling appearance of the skin. Our lasers help to tighten the skin and reform the scar tissue so that the skin smoothes out. We typically will do a treatment series of 4-6 treatments. The treatments are pain free with no downtime.
