Treatment & technology
Thread lifts, also called facial threading, use dissolvable threads and barbed sutures to tighten sagging facial skin. This minimally invasive procedure takes about 20 minutes, providing a quick solution to reduce skin laxity. Once the threads are placed and pulled, they lift loose skin, and the body’s natural healing process stimulates collagen production, enhancing firmness and promoting a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

The session begins with a double cleanse adapted to the patient’s skin type. The skin is then sanitized with a solution before exfoliation begins with a sterile surgical blade. Once the exfoliation is complete, we proceed with the application of adapted and complementary products. Allow approximately 1 hour for a complete treatment.
The sensation is similar to shaving; you can feel the blade pass over your skin, but there is no pain.

Exfoliation with Dermaplaning allows products to better penetrate the skin, which increases their effectiveness.
