A thread lift is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment that lifts and tightens mildly sagging skin using dissolvable threads placed under the skin. It gives an instant lift and boosts collagen over time, creating natural-looking results with little downtime and no surgery.
At GLOJAS Specialist Clinic, thread lifts are performed by trained doctors using safe, approved threads. Each treatment is carefully planned based on your facial structure to deliver natural-looking results while keeping comfort and safety a top priority.
A thread lift is a non-surgical treatment that gently lifts sagging skin and improves facial shape. It also helps the skin make more collagen. This makes the skin firmer over time.
This treatment is best for people with early to moderate signs of aging who want visible results without surgery or long recovery.
Unlike a surgical facelift, a thread lift offers subtle and natural results. Many patients choose it as an early or preventive anti-aging option.
A thread lift works in two simple ways.
1. Immediate Lift
The doctor places special dissolvable threads under the skin. These threads gently pull and support sagging tissue. This creates a visible lift right away.
2. Collagen Boost
Over time, the threads slowly dissolve. As this happens, they stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. This improves skin firmness and texture over the next few months.
Because of this, results often improve after the procedure.
Most commonly used
Fully dissolve in 6–9 months
Help tighten skin and boost collagen
Stimulate collagen for a longer time
Provide added support and structure
Dissolve the slowest
Offer longer-lasting collagen support
Cog or barbed threads: Lift and reposition skin
Mono threads: Improve skin quality and firmness
The best option depends on your face shape, skin condition, and goals.
Thread lifts can be used on:
Cheeks and mid-face
Jawline and jowls
Neck
Eyebrows

Thread lifts work best for mild, local sagging. They are not meant for severe skin laxity.
