Non-surgical facelift is widely considered the most direct and comprehensive way to tighten loose, saggy facial skin along your lower face, jawline, and neck. Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are a special medical-grade thread that is thinner than hair, made of protein. Its primary goal is to tighten underlying tissues and muscles while gently repositioning your skin.
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a hypodermic needle with sutures that lift and tighten the skin. The sutures, which dissolve over time, stimulate the growth of collagen. By inserting sutures, the body’s healing response activates the production of collagen in the body in large amounts. Thread lifts can help these conditions:
The doctor will inject local anesthesia therefore the procedure is pretty comfortable with little to no pain.
Please refrain from taking any vitamins or supplements 3-5 days prior to your procedure. No alcohol consumption the night before. It is recommended to take some Arnica pills 5-7 days prior to the treatment in order to help with the healing process. If you take any blood thinners, please let someone from the office know to better assist you.
You can go back to your normal routine. We do not recommend any workout for couple of days, as well as make up right after your procedure. Do not massage the treated areas. Please take some Tylenol if needed. Keep taking Arnica pills about one week after the procedure. Client should expect some swelling, tenderness, and some bruising. Also no laser treatments, facial massage, or dental should be scheduled within 2 weeks after the procedure.

Yes, thread lifts are performed by certified professionals at Dr. Assif Med Spa. We use surgical-grade needles and FDA-approved thread lifts. The sutures are safe, bioabsorbable and designed to dissolve as time passes.
A thread lift, known as a “lunchtime lift” because it is quick and noninvasive, can take 45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. Soreness may last up to two weeks afterward. You’ll notice a lift instantly after the sutures have been put in.
Thread lifts stay in place for 4-6 months, then the sutures start to dissolve. Skin tightening may last up to two years.
