Want a lifted, defined look without downtime? Thread lifting has become one of 2025’s fastest-growing treatments. At Elegance Cosmetic & Laser Clinic in Thornhill, modern PDO and PLLA threads lift now — and keep working by stimulating your own collagen for longer-lasting refinement.
Why Thread Lifts Are Surging
Today’s threads aren’t just lines under the skin — they’re precise, bio-stimulating tools. Strategically placed along cheek, jawline, and brow vectors, they reposition mild to moderate sagging while encouraging neo-collagenesis for months after treatment. Busy professionals and moms love the minimal recovery and natural-looking results.
Threads vs. Surgical Face Lift: Key Differences
- Downtime: Threads: back to routine in 24–72 hours; Surgery: weeks of recovery.
- Cost: Threads are typically a fraction of surgical fees.
- Results: Threads lift immediately and improve over 3–6 months as collagen forms; surgery offers dramatic, longer-term change but with higher downtime.
- Risks: Threads: temporary tenderness/bruise; Surgery: anesthesia, scarring, longer healing.
For skin quality and contour refinement, many clients combine thread lifting with HIFU, conservative dermal fillers, and custom facials for a polished, “never overdone” look.
PDO vs. PLLA Threads — What’s the Difference?
PDO threads (polydioxanone) are versatile for lift and skin quality; they integrate and gradually dissolve while signaling collagen. PLLA threads (poly-L-lactic acid) are designed for stronger biostimulation and longer collagen support. Your clinician may blend both for the best vector and texture outcome.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
Mild to moderate laxity in the cheeks, jowls, or brows; good skin quality; and a preference for subtle, natural improvement. If you want dramatic change or have advanced laxity, a surgical consult may be more appropriate — we’ll guide you honestly either way.
What to Expect on Treatment Day
- Mapping: Vectors are drawn to plan lift and support.
- Comfort: Local anesthetic for a calm, controlled experience.
- Placement: Threads are inserted and engaged for immediate lift.
- Aftercare: Sleep elevated, limit exaggerated facial movements for a few days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do results last?
Lift is visible right away, with collagen gains peaking around 3–6 months. Many clients enjoy results for 12–18 months.
Will I look “overdone”?

Can threads be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Threads pair well with HIFU for tissue tightening, micro-dosed fillers for structure, and facials for skin health.
