Face threading is a method of hair removal and not related to the cosmetic procedure known as a thread lift. Threading is a technique of hair removal that originated in India and Central Asia and involves using a thin cotton or polyester thread that is doubled and twisted to remove unwanted hair at the follicle level). On the other hand, a thread lift is a cosmetic procedure that uses temporary sutures to lift and tighten the skin of the face or neck, creating a subtle but visible "lift" in the skin. The procedure involves placing medical-grade thread under the skin to pull the skin into position, which activates the bodys natural healing response and triggers the increase of collagen. The results of a thread lift are temporary and subtle, and the procedure is best suited for patients dealing with mild to moderate signs of skin laxity.
