Thread lift (Eyebrows)
- A brow thread lift is a non-surgical procedure involving special threads to lift and reposition the brow tissue to create a more youthful appearance. The threads are inserted through small incisions in the skin and are then used to lift the brow into a more elevated position.
- Several different types of threads are used for a brow thread lift, including polydioxanone (PDO) threads, polylactic acid (PLA) threads, and polycaprolactone (PCL) threads. These threads are made of biocompatible materials that are gradually absorbed by the body over time, leaving behind new collagen and elastin fibres that help to support the lifted brow position.
- Brow thread lifts are generally less invasive than surgical ones and can produce natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
- However, the effects of a brow thread lift are usually shorter than those of a surgical brow lift, and the procedure may need to be repeated to maintain the desired results.Suppose you are considering a brow thread lift; it is a good idea to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon or maxillofacial surgeon to discuss your options and determine if this procedure is right for you.
- They can help you understand the potential risks and benefits of the procedure and help you choose the best approach for achieving your desired results.
Different techniques of thread brow lift
- The threads are anchored to the brow tissue and then used to lift and reposition the brow into a more elevated position.
- In this technique, the threads are used to lift and suspend the brow tissue, creating a more youthful appearance.
- The threads are used to lift and reposition the brow tissue to create a natural, feathered appearance.
- In this technique, the threads are used to lift and reposition the brow tissue laterally, creating a more wide-eyed appearance.

A qualified plastic surgeon or maxillofacial surgeon can help you determine the best technique based on your specific needs and goals.
Different thread lift materials for brow lift
- PDO threads are biocompatible synthetic materials commonly used in medical sutures. They are absorbed by the body over time, leaving behind new collagen and elastin fibres that help to support the lifted brow position.
- PLA threads are made of a biocompatible synthetic material derived from lactic acid. Like PDO threads, they are absorbed by the body over time and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibres.
- PCL threads are made of a biocompatible synthetic material derived from caprolactone. They are absorbed by the body over time and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibres.
- Silhouette Soft threads are made of a biocompatible synthetic material coated with polylactic acid. They are designed to lift and reposition the brow tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibres.
- NovaThreads are made of a biocompatible synthetic material called polydioxanone. They are designed to lift and reposition the brow tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibres.
- The best type of thread for a brow lift procedure will depend on the specific needs and goals of the patient. A qualified plastic surgeon or maxillofacial surgeon can help you determine the best thread material based on your specific needs and goals.
Minimally invasive: Thread lift , Foxeye lift, Botox, Brow piercing
- Some surgeons use different techniques and threads to achieve more comprehensive and longer-lasting results. For example, a combination of PDO and Silhouette Soft threads can lift and reposition the brow tissue and stimulate collagen production.
Some surgeons use absorbable suture material, such as PDO or PCL, instead of traditional non-absorbable suture material. This allows the threads to be absorbed by the body over time, leaving behind new collagen and elastin fibres that help to support the lifted brow position.
Some surgeons use minimally invasive procedure techniques, such as the feather lift technique, to lift and reposition the brow tissue with minimal scarring and downtime.
- Overall, there are several advances in brow thread lift techniques that help to improve the results and safety of the procedure. If you are considering a brow thread lift, you should consult a qualified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon to discuss your options and determine the best approach.
What is a Fox eye thread lift?
- Fox eye thread lift is a cosmetic procedure involving special threads to lift and tighten the skin on the face.
- The procedure is typically performed on the upper and lower eyelids, designed to improve the appearance of sagging or drooping skin, wrinkles, and fine lines in the eye area.
- The surgeon will make small skin incisions during the procedure and insert the threads into the tissue.
- The threads are made of biocompatible materials equipped with tiny barbs or cogs that help anchor them in place. The threads are then used to lift and tighten the skin, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
- Fox eye thread lift is a relatively quick and minimally invasive procedure usually performed under local anesthesia. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete, and patients can return to normal activities within a few days. The results of a fox eye thread lift are typically visible immediately and can last for up to a year or more.
- Botox can also be used to lift the eyebrows, also known as a brow lift. This is usually done by injecting small amounts of Botox into the muscles that control the position of the eyebrows. The eyebrows can be gently lifted by relaxing these muscles, creating a more youthful appearance.
- The effects of a brow lift with Botox typically last for several months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain the desired results. It is important to note that Botox is not a permanent solution, and the muscles will eventually return to their normal function. It is also important to speak with a qualified medical professional before undergoing any treatment with Botox or other injectables.

- Forma RF is a type of radiofrequency (RF) treatment used for skin tightening and facial rejuvenation. It delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin, which causes the collagen fibers to contract and stimulate the production of new collagen. This can lead to a tightening and lifting effect on the skin. In the case of an eyebrow lift, Forma RF may be used to tighten the skin and underlying tissues, resulting in a lift to the eyebrows. It is important to note that Forma RF treatment is considered a cosmetic procedure and is generally not covered by insurance.
- Micro-needling Radiofrequency (RF) treatments are non-invasive procedures that use Micro-needles to deliver radio waves to heat the skin and stimulate collagen production.
- MNRF treatments are often used to tighten and lift the skin on the face and body and can be used to achieve a brow lift.
- During a brow lift with RF treatment, a device delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin. The heat generated by the radiofrequency waves causes the collagen in the skin to contract, which can help lift and tighten the skin.
- The treatment may also stimulate the production of new collagen over time, which can further improve the appearance of the skin.
- MNRF treatments for a brow lift are generally safe and have minimal side effects.
- Laser treatments are non-invasive procedures that use concentrated beams of light to target specific areas of the skin. Laser treatments can tighten and lift the skin, including the skin on the eyebrows, also known as a brow lift.
- Several laser treatments can be used for a brow lift, including fractional, non-ablative, and ablative lasers. Each type of laser works differently and can achieve different results.
- With laser treatment, the laser device delivers light energy to the skin during a brow lift. The heat generated by the laser causes the collagen in the skin to contract, which can help lift and tighten the skin. The therapy may also stimulate the production of new collagen over time, which can further improve the appearance of the skin.
- Laser treatments for a brow lift are generally safe and have minimal side effects.
Non-invasive: Micro blading/Nano Blading, Ombre powder (PMU) Techniques
- Microblading, also known as nano blading or eyebrow embroidery, is a type of semi-permanent tattooing that involves using a handheld tool to deposit pigment into the skin.
Microblading is often used to create the appearance of fuller, more defined eyebrows.- During a microblading treatment, a fine, handheld tool is used to create hair-like strokes in the skin.
- The practitioner will use the tool to carefully draw the strokes onto the skin, mimicking the natural direction and shape of the eyebrows.
- The pigment is then deposited into the skin, creating the appearance of natural eyebrows.
- Microblading is a semi-permanent procedure, meaning the pigment will fade over time and may need to be touched up periodically to maintain the desired results.
- It is important to speak with a qualified cosmetic surgeon before undergoing any microblading treatment to ensure safety and to your satisfaction.
- Ombre powder brows, also known as ombre brows or powder brows, is a technique for applying permanent makeup to the eyebrows. It involves using a machine or handheld tool to deposit pigment into the skin, creating the appearance of full, powdered eyebrows.
- Ombre powder brows are created by gradually blending two or more shades of pigment to create a gradient effect, similar to the ombre technique used in hair coloring. The result is a natural-looking, full brow with a gradient of colour that appears more defined at the front of the brow and fades towards the tail.
- Ombre powder brows are a semi-permanent procedure, meaning the pigment will fade over time and may need to be touched up periodically to maintain the desired results. It is important to speak with a qualified cosmetic surgeon with hands-on experience, before undergoing any permanent makeup treatment to ensure that it is done safely and to your satisfaction.
