Thread Lift in Izmir – Dermatologist Dr. Orhan Demirer

What is the French Thread Lift?

The French Thread Lift, also known as a non-surgical thread lift, is a minimally invasive treatment that lifts and rejuvenates the skin without surgery. The procedure works through two main mechanisms:

  • Mechanical lifting: Specially designed threads are placed under the skin to lift sagging areas.

  • Biological stimulation: The body responds to the threads by producing fibroblasts, collagen, and elastin, which strengthen and tighten the skin.

Which Areas Can Be Treated?

Thread lifts are ideal for patients with sagging skin or wrinkles on the face, under the chin, or neck. This procedure provides natural-looking, youthful results quickly and effectively.

How is a Thread Lift Performed?

  • Performed under local anesthesia using fine-tipped cannulas

  • Patients usually feel only mild pulling or tightening sensations

  • The procedure lasts approximately 30–45 minutes

  • Normal daily activities can be resumed immediately

Expected Results and Longevity

  • Results are visible immediately after the procedure

  • Continued improvement occurs over the following weeks as collagen production increases

  • Depending on the type of threads used, results last between 1.5 to 2 years

Post-Procedure Considerations

For the first few days, patients should:

  • Avoid exaggerated facial expressions

  • Refrain from sleeping face down

  • Avoid facial massages

  • Protect the skin from sun exposure
    Using dermatologist-recommended skincare products supports healing and helps maintain results.
