A thread lift is a minimally invasive way to lift sagging skin without a surgical facelift. Your provider places fine, dissolvable threads beneath the skin to gently reposition tissue, creating a visible lift right away. As the threads dissolve over time, they also stimulate collagen production, which helps support firmer skin long after treatment.
At PUR Skin Clinic in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood, our providers use thread lifts to restore definition to the cheeks, jawline, and lower face for clients who want a refreshed look without the downtime of surgery. Every treatment is planned around your facial structure, skin quality, and goals.

A thread lift fills the gap between injectables and surgery, offering a real lift with a short recovery.
Thread lifts work best for mild to moderate skin laxity. Your provider will recommend the areas that will give you the most natural result.
A thread lift is performed in-office and usually takes about an hour. Your provider numbs the treatment area, then uses a fine needle or cannula to place each thread beneath the skin and gently lift the tissue into position.
You Can Expect:
No. A thread lift creates a more subtle lift and does not remove excess skin. It is a great option for clients with mild to moderate laxity who want results without surgery.
Results vary by thread type and how your skin responds. Many clients enjoy their results for a year or more, and the collagen stimulated by the threads can help support the skin even after they dissolve.
The treatment area is numbed with local anesthetic, so most clients feel pressure and pulling rather than pain. Some tenderness afterward is normal.
Most clients return to work within a few days. Plan for some swelling and bruising, and follow your provider’s activity guidelines for the first two weeks.
Yes. Thread lifts are often paired with dermal fillers or wrinkle relaxers. Your provider will recommend the right timing.
Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and mild dimpling are the most common and usually resolve on their own. Less common risks include infection, asymmetry, or a thread becoming visible, which is why treatment should always be performed by an experienced provider.
