Thread Lift

If approved by your healthcare provider, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and alcohol for several days before treatment to help reduce bruising. Never discontinue prescription medications without your physician's guidance.

Come to your appointment without makeup, lotions, or sunscreen on the treatment area whenever possible. This helps prepare your skin for a safe and comfortable procedure.

Inform your provider about any medications, allergies, recent dental work, cosmetic procedures, or medical conditions. This allows your treatment plan to be tailored to your needs.

Apply cold compresses as directed during the first 24 to 48 hours. Mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, and tightness are common and typically improve over the following several days.

For about one to two weeks, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, excessive facial expressions, chewing tough foods, and sleeping on your side or stomach. Sleep on your back with your head elevated to help protect the threads while they settle.

Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, saunas, hot tubs, and excessive heat for at least one week, or as directed by your provider. Resume normal activities gradually as your skin heals.
