Lift and refresh your look with Thread Lift
​​​
A Miami Thread Lift is a non-surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin, offering a refreshed and youthful appearance without the need for surgery.
How is a Thread Lift done?
​
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. During the procedure, Dr. Randy Lindgren uses dissolvable threads made of biocompatible materials, such as polydioxanone (PDO), which are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle. These threads gently lift and reposition the skin, creating a more youthful appearance. Over time, the threads stimulate collagen production, which helps to maintain the lifted effect even after the threads have dissolved.
What issues can be corrected?
-
Sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, and neck
-
Drooping eyebrows or eyelids
-
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
-
Loss of facial volume and definition
-
Mild to moderate skin laxity
Thread Lift Details
The thread lift procedure is quick and requires minimal downtime, making it an attractive option for those seeking a non-surgical facelift. The treatment typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort, and the threads are strategically placed to achieve natural-looking results. Since the threads are absorbable, they gradually dissolve over 6 to 12 months, during which time they continue to promote collagen growth for long-lasting skin tightening and rejuvenation.
How to prepare for treatment?
If you’re considering a thread lift, it may be the ideal solution for your needs. A thread lift is great for individuals who:
-
Want to lift and tighten sagging skin without surgery
-
Desire a quick procedure with minimal downtime
-
Are looking for a subtle, natural enhancement
-
Want to stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting results
Before undergoing a thread lift, it's important to avoid alcohol, smoking, and blood-thinning medications for at least a week, as these can increase the risk of bruising and complications. On the day of your treatment, make sure your skin is clean and free of makeup or other products. Dr. Lindgren will discuss any specific preparation instructions during your consultation, including any potential allergies or medical conditions that may need to be considered. It’s also important to maintain realistic expectations about the results.
A thread lift may not be the best choice for those who:
-
Have significant skin laxity or require dramatic lifting
-
Are seeking a permanent solution to sagging skin
-
Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions
-
Have a history of severe allergic reactions to thread materials

Recovery and Results​
​
Recovery from a thread lift is generally quick, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a day or two. Some mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort may occur, but these symptoms typically resolve within a week. The results of the thread lift are immediately visible, with further improvements developing over the following months as collagen production increases. The overall effect of a Miami thread lift can last from one to two years, depending on the individual's skin type, age, and lifestyle, with continued collagen production enhancing the longevity of results.
