Combat Aging with Dr. Maercks' Signature Minimally Invasive Thread Lift

Your Ideal Face is Waiting to be Revealed

The PDO thread lift can help our patients by treating wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and a host of other aesthetic concerns. Dr. Maercks is excited to offer this state-of-the-art treatment as part of his ongoing commitment to remaining ahead of the curve when it comes to cutting-edge anti-aging technology.

Patients seeking thread lifting desire a more supported and youthful face and commonly want cheek elevation, neckline refinement, and brow elevation. In a thread lift consult at the Maercks Institute, the patient's skin tone, skin quality, facial volume and surface appearance are carefully evaluated to design a bespoke intervention.

Dr. Maercks selects the best thread lift techniques which may be combined with Dr. Maercks' signature AFB treatments that harmonize and lift the face in the most natural manner with carefully placed volume.

An array of laser and energy interventions from Moxi Halo and BBL to Skintyte and Erbium or Pico resurfacing can further refine results. Some thread lifting patients will also benefit from Dr. Maercks' innovative minilifts, which create incredible definition and support of the jawline and lower third of the face with minimal downtime.

What is a Thread Lift?

A thread lift works to elevate sagging facial contours, instantly lifting and revitalizing the skin. By promoting collagen regrowth, the PDO thread lift helps to firm and tighten the complexion, giving you a youthful, radiant glow.

The threads used in a PDO thread lift are made with polydioxanone, a safe polymer commonly employed in the closing of surgical incisions.

These threads do not cause allergic reactions in most clients and are harmlessly absorbed by the body over time.

What are the Different Thread Options?

Barbed threads

These threads contain small barbs that elicit a collagen-renewal response in the skin as they lift, firm, and sculpt the facial contours. Results are dramatic and long-lasting.

Smooth threads

These threads do not have barbs and are placed beneath the skin both horizontally and vertically to create a scaffolding for the regeneration of new collagen. Results are natural-looking and provide skin tightening properties along with anti-aging.

How is a Thread Lift Performed?

During the treatment, the PDO threads are inserted into the skin via fine needles. No incisions are required, and no marks or scars are left behind. The threads are trimmed so that they are unseen to the naked eye. Over the next nine months, the threads slowly dissolve, leaving a newly formed layer of collagen behind that fortifies the underlying facial structure and creates a more youthful appearance.

Threads can be injected anywhere that aging is a concern. Areas include:

  • Cheeks

  • Jaw

  • Brow

  • Beneath the eyes

  • Around the mouth

  • Around the nose

  • Neck
