A Threadlift is an exciting non-surgical cosmetic treatment now available at Dermatology & Advanced Skin Care. Ideal for men and women seeking a subtle lift without undergoing surgery, a Threadlift provides immediate rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Dr. Dean Kane, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has been performing Threadlifts for over 20 years with consistent, successful results.
As a facelift expert, Dr. Kane places threads deep within the skin to effectively lift facial tissues, especially around the nasolabial folds, jowls, and jawline. Threadlifts are an excellent option for patients in their 40s or 50s who are not quite ready for a surgical facelift and those who want to refresh results from a prior facelift.
We often say: "If you can pinch an inch of skin on your face, you’re likely a candidate for a surgical facelift, not a Threadlift."
Benefits of a Threadlift:
Using local anesthesia, Dr. Kane inserts dissolvable threads via a needle or cannula beneath the skin. Some threads are smooth, while others have small barbs to hold and lift tissue. Once placed, the excess suture is trimmed, and the area is dressed. While mild bruising or swelling may occur, you can resume most daily activities right away, just avoid vigorous facial massage and sleeping on your side for a few weeks.
Areas Commonly Treated:
In addition to the lifting effect, Threadlifts stimulate natural collagen production—the key to long-term skin firmness and a youthful appearance.
Threadlift results typically last between 1 to 3 years. The threads dissolve naturally through your body’s lymphatic system, but the collagen they trigger continues to firm and plump the skin. Many patients enhance their results with complementary treatments like dermal fillers.
If you’re experiencing mild to moderate facial sagging but want to avoid surgery, a Threadlift might be the perfect solution. To learn more or schedule a consultation with Dr. Kane, call our Columbia, MD office or book online today.
