CARE GUIDELINES

Threads Care Guide

Threads provide an immediate lift, but because the sutures need time to anchor properly, a few specific aftercare steps around facial movement and sleeping position matter more here than with other injectables.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Aftercare Matters for Your Results

Because Threads physically lift and anchor tissue, protecting the treated area from excessive movement or pressure in the first week helps everything settle into place as intended.

Pre & Post Care Tips

Threads provide an immediate lift, with continued improvement over the following 3 to 6 months as collagen builds around the sutures.

Pre Care Guidelines

- Avoid blood-thinning medications for a few days before your appointment to reduce bruising risk.
- Come in with a clean, makeup-free face for accurate thread placement.
- Share any previous thread lift or filler history with your provider beforehand.
- Arrange a few quiet days following your appointment if possible.
- Ask your provider about specific movement restrictions for your treatment areas.

Post Care Guidelines

- Avoid excessive facial movement, chewing gum, or wide yawning for the first few days.
- Skip strenuous exercise and facials or massages on the treated area for about a week.
- Avoid sleeping face-down to prevent pressure on the newly placed threads.
- Avoid dental work or major facial movement for at least two weeks if possible.
- Contact your provider if you notice puckering or discomfort that doesn't resolve.
