Nasolabial Fold Thread Lift is a non-surgical lifting procedure designed to improve sagging and deep smile lines that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. By using absorbable lifting threads, this treatment provides immediate support to the mid-face while stimulating collagen production for longer-term improvement.

What Is a Nasolabial Fold Thread Lift?

A Nasolabial Fold Thread Lift involves inserting medical-grade, absorbable threads beneath the skin along the nasolabial fold area. These threads mechanically lift sagging tissue and help reposition the mid-face, reducing the depth of smile lines without surgery.

Benefits of Nasolabial Fold Thread Lift

Nasolabial Fold Thread Lift may provide several aesthetic benefits, including:

• Lifting sagging nasolabial folds
• Improved mid-face support and contour
• Reduction of deep smile line appearance
• Stimulation of collagen production
• Non-surgical lifting option with minimal downtime

Who Is Nasolabial Fold Thread Lift Suitable For?

Nasolabial Fold Thread Lift may be suitable for individuals who:

• Have sagging or deep nasolabial folds
• Experience mid-face drooping rather than volume loss
• Want lifting rather than filler-based correction
• Prefer non-surgical facial rejuvenation

This treatment is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

Nasolabial Fold Thread Lift vs Nasolabial Fold Filler

Nasolabial Fold Thread Lift differs from filler-based treatments:

• Lifts sagging tissue rather than adding volume
• Improves mid-face structure and support
• Stimulates collagen over time
• Suitable for fold depth caused by skin laxity

In some cases, thread lifting and fillers may be combined.
