THREAD LIFT IN NYC
At Dr. Alexes Hazen’s regenerative aesthetics and longevity practice in New York City, the Thread Lift offers a sophisticated, non-surgical way to restore youthful facial contours with little to no downtime.
This innovative treatment uses dissolvable, medical-grade sutures - often made of PDO (polydioxanone) - placed just beneath the skin to gently lift sagging tissue, redefine facial contours, and stimulate collagen production. The result is a natural-looking, refreshed appearance that evolves and improves over time as new collagen forms.
For patients who want visible rejuvenation without surgery or extended recovery, a Thread Lift provides subtle yet effective lifting for the cheeks, jowls, jawline, brows, and neck - enhancing definition and firmness while preserving a natural expression.
As part of Dr. Hazen’s holistic longevity protocols, thread lifting is often combined with Morpheus8, Exosome Therapy, or Dermal Fillers to enhance skin tightening, elasticity, and long-term structural support.
HOW A THREAD LIFT WORKS
The procedure for thread lift may be slightly different depending on the area you’re targeting and the technique being used. The basic technique I use is as follows:
-
You will start in a comfortable reclined position as I apply alcohol, as well as a topical anesthetic to your skin in preparation for the procedure.
-
I will use a thin needle or cannula to place the threads underneath your skin.
-
Once the threads are inserted, I will gently remove the needle and the procedure is complete!
-
Within minutes you’ll be free to go home.
-
The entire procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes and lasts from 1-3 years.
Post Thread Facelift Procedure - What to Expect
Downtime for a thread lift is very minimal. You will be able to leave my office directly after the procedure and drive home. After a thread lift, it is not uncommon to experience the following:
-
swelling
-
bruising
-
minimal bleeding
-
slight pain at the site of the thread injection
