Threads

An Instant, Non-Surgical Lift

Thread Lifts

Tighten sagging skin and restore youthful contours without surgery.

If you're in search of a non-surgical solution to tighten sagging skin, a thread lift may be the answer. Luminate proudly offers PDO Thread Lifts and Silhouette InstaLift to virtually erase the signs of aging and restore your youthful contours.

How Does It Work

How Thread Lifts Tighten and Contour Skin

PDO thread lifts use dissolvable polydioxanone threads placed in the subcutaneous layer of the skin to mechanically lift and tighten sagging areas, while Silhouette InstaLift uses absorbable micro-cones to add volume and lift to the midface.

Step 1: A consultation determines whether PDO threads or InstaLift best suits your goals.

Step 2: Tiny needles place the threads or micro-cones beneath the skin's surface.

Step 3: The treatment takes 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the technique used.

Step 4: Collagen production continues for months after the threads are absorbed, extending your results.

Who Is It For

Who Benefits Most From Thread Lifts

Ideal for patients who are:

  • Experiencing mild to moderate sagging of the face or neck
  • Wanting subtle lifting and tightening without surgery or significant downtime
  • Bothered by sagging cheeks or deep nasolabial folds in the midface
  • Looking to soften fine lines and wrinkles alongside a lifted appearance
  • Not yet ready for a surgical facelift but wanting noticeable improvement

Lifts and tightens sagging skin on the face and body without surgery.

Aftercare Guidelines

Caring for Your Skin After a Thread Lift

Recovery from a thread lift is typically minimal, with most patients resuming daily activities within a few days. Some lifting is visible immediately, with full results developing over two to six weeks as swelling subsides and collagen builds around the threads.

Sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first few nights.

Apply ice gently to ease any mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness.

Avoid facial massages for the first one to two weeks to protect thread placement.

Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive facial movement for the first few days.

Avoid touching or pressing on the treated areas unnecessarily.

Avoid dental work or other facial procedures until your provider clears you.

Our Reviews Speak for Themselves

I'm from KS and I am so glad I found Luminate Clinic. Dr Lucie and her team are amazing at what they do..knowledgeable and experienced. Very friendly..down to earth kind of people..I really enjoyed the experience there. I had the Agnes RF procedure to fix my under eye bag issue and the scarlet RF microneedling. I absolutely love the result and worth the 2.5 hour drive. I wish I had known about Luminate Clinic sooner.

Maritza was phenomenal! She made me feel safe and comfortable for my first Botox appointment. We went over what my preferences were and what I wanted to pursue. I never felt pressured to get anything additional, and it really felt she had my best interest in mind. I can’t wait to go back for a facial or peel soon! The rest of the staff has been so kind and professional as well. Cute place with skin care products for sale!

Serena is the sweetest, gentlest esthetician. She always makes me feel so comfortable. She is very knowledgeable and seems to enjoy teaching her clients about proper skincare. I’ve gotten several treatments with Serena, including the VI Peel and the IPL facial. I will be back for sure!

Teresa Martin

I would highly recommend Luminate clinic and specifically seeing Serena. Not only has she delivered amazing results with the 3 ipl facials she has provided for me, she delivers exceptional service from start to finish. On my visits I am always grateful for her sharing her knowledge about products that will help me maximize results and for also making me feel comfortable and relaxed when I have my laser portion of the facial. Serena and all that work at Luminate not only deliver amazing results for their clients, but most importantly exceptional customer service setting them apart in the industry.
