The gradual loss of elasticity is the sign of accumulated skin damage and is, also, a consequence of aging. To combat the common concern of sagging skin and wanting a more lifted appearance, DMC Skin Clinic offers various treatment methods, including thread lifting. With many years of clinical experience and successful cases for more than a decade, we provide advanced facial thread lifting procedures done entirely by our physician.

Thread lifting is a relatively simple and minimally invasive procedure. It does not require any cutting or suturing as the thread is slid into the desired positions using a specially designed metal tube.

At DMC Skin Clinic, we use the Health Canada approved self-anchoring polydioxanone (PDO) thread, such as Quill™ Knotless suture. PDO thread is a dissolvable suture material that has been used for many years in soft tissue surgery. Once in the body, it gradually replaced the body’s natural collagen fibres and slowly dissolves in 6-10 months. The unique fact to note about DMC Skin Clinic’s thread lifting, is that the threads are self-anchoring on the entire length of the thread to evenly and naturally distribute anti-gravity force.

• How many treatment sessions do I need?
  Most patients generally require a minimum amount of sessions depending on the area and the desired result.
• What is the treatment interval?
  Most patients generally receive the treatment in the same area every 3-12 months, depending on the desired aesthetic goals.
• Is thread lifting painful?
  Topical anesthetic cream application and local anesthetic injections are offered to minimize discomfort during treatment. DMC Skin Clinic also offers the use of analgesic laughing gas for patients who desire additional relief.
• Is there any downtime following thread lifting?
  Redness, localized bruising, and mild swelling typically resolve in 7-14 days.
