What is a Neck Thread Lift?

The Neck Thread Lift involves inserting fine, biocompatible PDO threads under the neck’s skin via tiny entry points to lift sagging tissue and smooth creases. As the threads dissolve over 6-8 months, they trigger collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin tightness and texture. Key benefits include:

  • Lifts Sagging Neck: Elevates loose skin to reduce turkey neck or double chin appearance.
  • Smooths Lines: Minimizes horizontal “tech neck” lines and crepey texture.
  • Sculpted Contour: Defines the neck-to-jaw transition for a refined profile.

Results are visible immediately, improve over 1-3 months, and last 12-18 months (cog threads for lifting, mono for smoothing). Unlike fillers (volume-focused) or laser treatments (surface-focused), PDO threads offer structural lift and regenerative effects, ideal for mild to moderate neck sagging.
