What Is PLLA Thread Lifting?

PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) thread lifting is a cosmetic procedure where biocompatible, absorbable threads are inserted into the deeper layers of the skin to lift sagging tissues and stimulate collagen production.
PLLA threads are known for their strong collagen-inducing properties and longer-lasting effects compared to traditional PDO threads.

As the threads dissolve slowly over time, they continue to promote new collagen formation, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin that lasts well beyond the lifespan of the threads themselves.

Why Choose PLLA Thread Lifting?

• Strong Collagen Stimulation: PLLA threads trigger deeper and more prolonged collagen remodeling.
• Long-Lasting Results: Effects can last 18 to 24 months or longer, depending on individual factors.
• Natural Rejuvenation: Skin quality steadily improves over time, offering a gradual, authentic-looking enhancement.
• Minimal Invasiveness: No major incisions or general anesthesia required.
• Quick Recovery: Most patients experience only mild swelling or bruising, resuming normal activities within a few days.

Areas Commonly Treated with PLLA Thread Lifting

• Midface and cheeks
• Jawline and jowls
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines around the mouth
• Neck and under-chin area
• Brow lifting for subtle eye rejuvenation

PLLA threads can also be used strategically to address volume loss in the temples and under-eye areas.

Benefits of PLLA Thread Lifting

• Immediate lifting effect with continuous improvement over time
• Enhanced skin texture, firmness, and elasticity
• Smoother fine lines and reduced sagging
• Natural-looking results that evolve gradually
• Low risk of scarring, infections, or severe complications

What to Expect During and After the Procedure

PLLA thread lifting typically takes 45 to 60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
Fine PLLA threads are inserted into targeted areas using a cannula, carefully positioned to lift and support the skin.

After the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling or tenderness, which usually subsides within a few days.
Results improve progressively over several months as collagen production increases and skin continues to rejuvenate from within.

How Long Do Results Last?

While the threads themselves dissolve over approximately 12 to 18 months, the skin improvements triggered by collagen stimulation can last 18 to 24 months or even longer, depending on individual skin quality and post-treatment care.

Annual or biennial maintenance treatments can help extend and refresh the results.
