Thread lift in Izmir is a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift sagging skin, improve facial contours and restore a more youthful appearance without surgery. At our dermatology clinic in Alsancak, thread lifting treatments are performed with a personalized approach to achieve natural and balanced results.
This treatment is often preferred by patients who want visible lifting without undergoing a surgical facelift. Thread lift offers both an immediate lifting effect and long-term skin improvement through collagen stimulation.
Patients exploring skin rejuvenation in Izmir often consider thread lifting as part of a comprehensive anti-aging strategy.

What Is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure in which medical-grade threads are inserted under the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissues. These threads also stimulate collagen production, improving skin quality over time. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
The procedure is often referred to as a “non-surgical facelift” because it provides lifting and tightening without incisions or long recovery periods.

How Does a Thread Lift Work?
Thread lift works through two main mechanisms:
- Immediate lifting → mechanical repositioning of the skin
- Long-term effect → stimulation of collagen production
As the threads dissolve over time, they trigger the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and improving skin elasticity. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

What Are PDO Threads?
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are biodegradable medical sutures that have been used safely in medicine for many years. These threads dissolve naturally within months while stimulating collagen production in the skin. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
This dual effect makes PDO threads an effective option for both lifting and skin rejuvenation.

Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Thread lift in Izmir can be applied to multiple areas:
- Jawline
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Eyebrows
- Neck

Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate if you:

How Effective Is Thread Lift?
Thread lift provides both immediate and gradual improvement. Studies show that PDO threads can stimulate collagen formation and improve skin quality while reducing sagging. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
The lifting effect is usually subtle but natural-looking, which is why many patients prefer it over more aggressive procedures.
—
How Long Do Results Last?
Results typically last between 6 to 18 months depending on the type of thread and individual factors. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Although the threads dissolve over time, collagen production continues, helping maintain the results for a longer period.

Thread Lift vs Surgical Facelift
- Thread lift → minimally invasive, natural results, short downtime
- Surgical facelift → more dramatic results, longer recovery
Thread lift is ideal for patients who want improvement without surgery.

Thread Lift vs Dermal Fillers
Thread lift and dermal fillers serve different purposes:

- Fillers → restore lost volume
In many cases, combining both treatments provides better overall results.

Combination Treatments
Thread lift is often combined with:
- Botox → wrinkle reduction
- Skin boosters → hydration
- RF microneedling → tightening
Combination approaches create more balanced and natural rejuvenation.

Most patients can return to daily activities shortly after the procedure.
