Do you want to preserve your youthful appearance but are worried about the risks of cosmetic surgery? Biological thread lifting is the perfect answer, helping you look 5-10 years younger in the most natural way. This article from Dr Xuan Quan Clinic will help you understand what biological thread lifting is, how long the results last, and important considerations for absolutely safe beauty treatments.
What is biological thread lifting?
Facial lifting with biodegradable threads is a non-surgical rejuvenation method that uses biodegradable medical threads (such as PDO, PLLA, PCL) implanted under the skin. These threads act as a “net” to support and tighten sagging muscles, while simultaneously stimulating the body to produce collagen and elastin to nourish the skin from within.
Comparing thread lifting and surgical facelift
Although both aim to erase the signs of aging, these two methods differ significantly in technique, target audience, and duration of results:
- Bio-thread lifting: This is a minimally invasive method using specialized needles to thread medical threads under the skin to lift muscles and stimulate collagen production. It’s suitable for people aged 30-50 with mild to moderate aging, with a quick recovery time of 3-5 days and results lasting 2-5 years.
- Facelift surgery: This is a major, invasive surgery where the surgeon makes incisions along the hairline to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying muscle layer. This method is specifically for people over 50 with severe aging, requiring 2-4 weeks for recovery, but with long-lasting results of 7-15 years.

The outstanding advantages of bio-absorbable thread lifting
This method possesses outstanding advantages that make women a priority choice:
- No surgery, no scars: Only use a microscopic needle tip to insert the thread under the skin, absolutely no incisions, no surface damage and no cosmetic marks.
- Immediate, natural lifting effect: The face is delicate and visibly firm immediately after the procedure; Facial expressions are natural, not stiff.
- No downtime: The process is quick (about 45 – 60 minutes), customers can live and work normally afterward without needing to take time off work.
- Comprehensive rejuvenation dual effect: In addition to removing wrinkles and shaping facial contours, the collagen network is continuously stimulated to help skin become bright, smooth, rosy and effectively shrink pores.

Who should and shouldn’t undergo thread lifting?
Although a safe and minimally invasive rejuvenation solution, the thread lift method still has strict indications and contraindications for each individual:
Those WHO SHOULD undergo this procedure:
- Men and women aged 30-50 who are beginning to show mild to moderate signs of aging.
- Those with slightly sagging skin in the cheeks, double chin, or deep smile lines, wrinkles on the forehead, and crow’s feet.
- Those who want to rejuvenate and reshape their facial features but are hesitant about surgery or do not have time for recovery.

Things you SHOULD NOT do:
- Individuals with severe aging, excess skin, and significant sagging (surgical removal of excess skin is more effective in this case).
- Individuals with a history of or currently suffering from chronic underlying conditions such as severe diabetes, cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or blood clotting disorders.
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Individuals with facial skin infections, severe acne, or open wounds.

Misconceptions about the thread lifting method
Despite being the hottest skin rejuvenation technology today, thread lifting is still misunderstood by many due to a lack of accurate information:
- Thread lifting provides permanent results: In reality, biodegradable threads (such as PDO, PLLA) will dissolve naturally after 6-24 months. The lifting effect and increased natural collagen production will then last for another 2-5 years depending on individual factors, but it cannot last forever.
- The face will feel stiff after thread lifting: Mild stiffness only appears in the first 1-2 weeks due to the natural swelling reaction of the tissue. Once the threads have adapted, the face will have a graceful, soft, and completely natural expression.
- This method can replace surgical facelift: Thread lifting is only optimally effective for mild to moderate aging in the 30-50 age group. For cases of excessive sagging and excess skin due to aging, surgical removal of excess skin is the only permanent solution.
