Thread Lift – the innovative treatment method for firmer facial skin

The CARA Thread Lifting is a minimally invasive option for all those who wish to lift their contours without undergoing scalpel-based surgery. We use high-quality PDO threads that stimulate collagen in the deeper layers and biologically regenerate the tissue.

Immediate and Long-Term Effect

Shortly after treatment, the cheeks and jawline appear firmer. Within 12 weeks, the body deposits new collagen – the skin becomes thicker, more elastic and achieves a greater glow.

Individual Thread Placement

Depending on the area, we use smooth, spiral or barbed threads. For the eyebrows, a 3-point lift is often sufficient; for the face and neck, we combine multiple vectors – always following the natural tension lines of the skin.

Safety & Aftercare

PDO has been used in medicine for decades and is fully absorbed by the body. Bruising or mild pulling sensations disappear within a few days. We provide care and sleep recommendations to ensure the threads anchor optimally.

FAQ

How does a PDO thread lift work?

Resorbable polydioxanone threads are inserted via fine cannulas. Barbs anchor in the tissue, lift contours and stimulate collagen production.

Which areas can be treated?

Typical areas include sagging cheeks, marionette lines, the jawline, eyebrows and the neck. Arms or knees can also be tightened.

How long do the results last?

The body breaks down the threads within 6–8 months. The newly formed collagen structure remains stable for up to 12 months – top-up treatments are possible at any time.

What should I bear in mind after the lift?

No make-up, sauna or exercise for 48 hours. Avoid strong facial expressions, massages and dental visits for 2 weeks to allow the threads to heal securely.
