Is a Thread Lift the Secret to a Younger-Looking You in the New Year?

If you’re one of the 37% of Americans who make New Year’s resolutions, you’re in good company. And what if you resolve to look younger? We’ve got you covered.

A thread lift here at RefineU Med Spa in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, might be the secret to a younger-looking you in the new year. Read on as our experts explain how a thread lift can turn back the hands of time.

What’s a thread lift?

A thread lift is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical rejuvenation treatment that lifts, tightens, and smooths skin without the downtime of traditional surgery. We place medical-grade sutures (or threads) into the middle layer of your skin to gently reposition sagging tissue. 

These sutures stimulate your skin’s natural healing response and collagen production. As the threads dissolve and your body builds new collagen, you see an improvement in firmness, elasticity, and youthful contour.

At RefineU Med Spa, you have access to three advanced types of threads, each designed to achieve a specific result:

Barb threads

As the name suggests, these threads have tiny barbs that grip and lift loose or sagging skin for a noticeable tightening effect. Barb threads can also help with body contouring.

Smooth threads

Smooth threads don’t lift. Instead, they excel at stimulating collagen. When placed in a mesh-like pattern, they help improve skin texture and create a smoother, firmer appearance.

Twist threads

Twist threads are thicker and coiled. They offer lift and volume while boosting collagen production. We often use twist threads to enhance areas such as the forehead, lips, nasolabial folds, and neck.

Why more people are choosing thread lifts

Thread lifts are among the fastest-growing anti-aging treatments because they fill the gap between injectables and surgical face-lifts. 

People love them because they:

• Immediately lift your cheeks, jawline, neck, and brows
• Stimulate collagen production 
• Require only minimal downtime, usually a day or two
• Don’t require incisions 

They’re ideal for anyone noticing early skin laxity who wants a refreshed look without going under the knife.

You can also combine a thread lift with other treatments. For example, thread lifts paired with Botox® injections at RefineU Med Spa can take your results to the next level.

Should you consider a thread lift?

Thread lifts work best for people with mild to moderate skin sagging. If you start to see jowls, volume loss in the mid-face, or a softer jawline, but aren’t ready for surgery, this treatment might be the perfect middle ground. 

During your consultation, we evaluate your skin, facial structure, and goals to determine whether thread lifting or another treatment is the best option.

What to expect from your thread lift

If you move forward with a thread lift, we perform it in the office. After applying local anesthesia, your RefineU Med Spa provider gently inserts the threads beneath the skin and lifts the tissues into their new position. 

You should see an immediate difference, and as collagen grows around the threads over the next few months, your results continue to improve.

Most people experience mild swelling, tenderness, or tightness for a few days, but can return to their routines quickly. We give you specific guidance, such as not wearing makeup for a few days.

With a threat lift, enjoy an instant lifted effect, with gradual tightening and smoothing as collagen builds. Best of all, your appearance looks refreshed, not frozen or overdone, so you can approach 2026 feeling oh-so-confident.
