A Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes specialized threads to lift and tighten sagging skin, enhancing body contours and creating a more youthful appearance. At Minus, we offer this innovative treatment to help you achieve a firmer, sculpted silhouette without the need for extensive surgery.
During a Thread Lift procedure, fine threads are inserted beneath the skin using a thin needle. These threads are strategically placed to lift and support the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin texture. As the threads dissolve over time, they promote natural skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Benefits of Thread Lift
- Non-Invasive: Requires no surgical incisions, minimizing scarring and recovery time.
- Instant Results: Many patients notice immediate lifting and contouring effects after the procedure.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last for several months as collagen continues to develop around the threads.
- Customizable Treatment: Threads can be placed in specific areas to achieve desired results, making it a versatile option for body contouring.

A typical thread lift procedure takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the areas being treated. It’s performed in an office setting under local anesthesia with minimal downtime.
How long do the results of a body contouring thread lift last?
Results typically last from 1 to 2 years, as the threads dissolve and stimulate collagen production, which continues to tighten the skin over time. Results can vary by individual.
Is a thread lift better than surgery for body contouring?
Thread lifts offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery with less downtime and risk. However, they are not a substitute for surgical procedures like tummy tucks or body lifts for severe sagging.
