What Are Thread Lifts?
Thread lifts are a revolutionary treatment to lift and tighten sagging skin for instant rejuvenation. Threads, often called PDO threads, are made of polydioxanone (PDO), which is a safe, synthetic, biocompatible monofilament. Barbed threads are inserted into the skin to create a noticeable lift. The threads dissolve within the skin and stimulate collagen production, renewing the skin’s appearance by restoring firmness and elasticity.
With immediate results and no downtime, threads are a simple, quick in-office procedure that takes about an hour to complete. Patients will experience full results in a month after treatment, and results typically last a year or longer.
Suitable for all skin types and tones, a thread lift is a customizable treatment that addresses unique needs, including the following:
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles, including around the eyes, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines
- Firms and lifts sagging cheeks to recontour cheekbones
- Lifts and tightens the jowls to improve the jawline
- Addresses drooping eyelids for a more youthful look
- Tightens and lifts the neck, improving neckbands, double chins, and lines
- Reduces hooded eyebrows to improve brow asymmetry
- Redefines lip shape and smooths lines, including perioral lines
Most patients achieve ideal results after a single thread lift treatment. However, others may require a secondary Thread lift after the threads have been absorbed. Dr. Mang may also recommend maintenance treatments or skincare to sustain your results.

Preparing for Your Thread Lift Procedure
Before your thread lift treatment in Alpharetta, it’s essential to be in good overall health. While Dr. Mang will customize all facial rejuvenation procedures for each patient, here is some general information to help you prepare.
Follow Pre-Operative Instructions
Dr. Mang will provide pre-procedural instructions, including dietary restrictions, medication adjustments, and guidelines on avoiding alcohol and smoking. Tell Dr. Mang about all the medications and supplements you take.
Stay Hydrated
Before and after your procedure, remain hydrated and keep your skin moisturized.
Practice Relaxation Techniques
Engaging in relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or visualization, can help manage anxiety. Staying calm can positively influence your experience.
Schedule Post-Operative Appointments
Confirm your follow-up appointments as recommended and ensure you have a clear understanding of what to expect during recovery.
Maintain a Positive Mindset
Keep your focus centered on the benefits of your procedure and the positive outcome you hope to achieve.
Use a Gentle Cleanser
The morning of your appointment, and don’t wear makeup. Avoid harsh skincare products like exfoliants or retinol for a few weeks before treatment.
What Can I Expect During a Thread Lift Procedure?
By focusing on each patient as a whole, Dr. Mang delivers outstanding care to achieve remarkable results. As such, he personalizes each thread lift procedure to enhance each patient’s skin and address their aesthetic concerns.
Come to your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup. Before your procedure, you’ll meet with Dr. Mang to review the details of your procedure and answer any last questions you have. A topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort.
During your thread lift procedure, Dr. Mang will mark the treatment area to guide the thread placement. The threads will be inserted beneath the skin with a fine needle or cannula, then the threads will be strategically manipulated to achieve the optimal lift. You may feel slight pressure and a tugging sensation but should not experience pain.
You can expect your thread lift treatment to last an hour, with immediate results.
Thread Lift Aftercare and Recovery
Following your thread lift procedure, you can resume most normal activities with minimal downtime. You may notice mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment sites. These side effects will gradually subside within a few hours to days. Dr. Mang may recommend over-the-counter pain medication to alleviate discomfort.
After your thread lift treatment, Dr. Mang will provide thorough instructions, including:
- Keep skin moisturized and stay hydrated
- Avoid exercise and other strenuous activities for a week
- Avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours
- Protect your skin from sun exposure for at least 2 weeks
Dr. Mang may also recommend limiting facial movements, such as smiling, laughing, or talking, to minimize pressure on the threads. Typically, patients will notice immediate enhancements and full results within 1 to 2 months as the threads settle.
How Soon Will I See Results from My Thread Lift?
Following your thread lift, you will see immediate results. However, it’s important to expect minimal discomfort, slight swelling, bruising, and redness. It may take one to two months for threads to settle. While your body will absorb the threads over six to eight months, the threads will stimulate collagen production to help your results last up to a year or longer. Your individual results will vary based on the initial condition of your skin, including sagging, skin thickness, and facial structure.
While some patients will see visible results after a single treatment, others may consider a secondary thread treatment after the initial threads have been absorbed. To ensure your results, thoroughly follow Dr. Mang’s post-procedural instructions regarding sun exposure protection, medical-grade skincare products, and follow-up treatments.
