Thread Lift in Bangkok

A Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses medical-grade suture threads to lift and tighten sagging skin. The threads are inserted under the skin using a fine needle; once positioned, they provide an immediate mechanical lift while stimulating natural collagen production as they dissolve over time.

Thread lifts are considered safe when performed at a dedicated skin clinic by experienced medical doctors. At The Metro Clinic, strict medical protocols and sterile techniques are followed.

• PDO (Polydioxanone): The most common type, great for skin rejuvenation and subtle lifting. Lasts about 6–12 months.
• PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid): Excellent for volume restoration and collagen stimulation.

In our Bangkok aesthetic clinic, we commonly use threads for:

• Jowls and Jawline: To create a sharper V-Shape contour.
• Nasolabial Folds: To reduce deep smile lines.
• Cheeks: To lift sagging mid-face tissue.
• Eyebrows: For a “Fox Eye” or “Cat Eye” lift.
• Neck: To tighten “turkey neck” skin.

Doctors at The Metro Clinic assess facial structure to determine the most suitable treatment areas.

Thread lift is suitable for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who are looking for subtle lifting and contour improvement. It is not a replacement for surgical facelift in cases of severe sagging. At The Metro Clinic, candidacy is determined through individual facial assessment rather than age alone.

A thread lift is generally well tolerated. Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort rather than pain. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area, which helps minimize sensation during the procedure. After treatment, you may feel some tightness, soreness, or mild tenderness, which usually subsides within a few days as the skin adjusts and heals.

Most patients do not feel the threads once the initial swelling subsides. In the first few days after a thread lift, some tightness or mild awareness in the treated area may occur, which is part of the normal healing process. As the threads settle and integrate into the tissue, they become unnoticeable and do not affect facial movement or expression.

Yes. Thread lift results are often visible immediately after treatment, as the threads provide an instant lifting and support effect to the skin. At The Metro Clinic, doctors also explain that results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated around the threads. The final outcome becomes more refined as swelling settles and the skin adjusts naturally.

Depending on the material used (PDO vs. PLLA) and your lifestyle, results typically last between 1 to 2 years. The threads dissolve safely, but the new collagen framework remains. Doctors at The Metro Clinic may recommend maintenance treatments to prolong results.

Yes. After a thread lift, some temporary side effects may occur. These can include mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, tightness, or slight asymmetry, especially in the first few days after treatment. At The Metro Clinic, doctors use proper techniques and provide clear aftercare guidance to help minimize these effects. Most side effects resolve on their own within a few days to two weeks, depending on individual healing and the areas treated.
