Threads are dissolvable suspension sutures placed beneath the skin to lift, contour, and support facial tissues while stimulating collagen production for gradual, natural rejuvenation.

Discomfort is minimal. A local anesthetic is used to ensure your comfort, and most clients describe only mild pressure during placement.

Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on your skin health, treatment area, and collagen response.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight swelling or tenderness for 1–3 days, but most clients return to normal activities quickly.

Yes — threads pair beautifully with biostimulators, neurotoxin, and regenerative skincare for comprehensive rejuvenation and collagen support.

During a thread lift at Intuition Medical Aesthetics in Longmont, fine, dissolvable sutures are gently inserted beneath the skin using a thin cannula. The threads are placed within the subdermal plane (the layer just below the surface) where they can anchor into the skin’s natural structure without disrupting underlying tissue.

Once positioned, the threads are strategically tightened to lift and reposition the facial fat pads, subtly restoring youthful contour and definition. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally while stimulating collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more lifted skin that continues to improve for months after treatment.
