Body Thread Lifts (Arms, Thighs, and Abdomen)
Body thread lifts use absorbable threads that are inserted under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads are strategically placed in areas such as the arms, thighs, or abdomen to lift and tighten the skin while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Post-treatment, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days. The full effects become visible within a few weeks as the skin adjusts and collagen develops, with results lasting anywhere from 12 to 24 months, depending on the treatment area and individual factors.
