Eyebrow Thread Lift
Aug 25, 2025
An eyebrow thread lift is a modern, non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin around the eyebrows and upper eyelid area. It uses specialized threads made from materials that are biocompatible and well-tolerated by the body. The goal is to raise sagging brows, smooth the skin, and enhance the overall appearance of the eyes.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
- Individuals aged 30 to 50 with mild to moderate brow drooping
- People in good health without chronic skin conditions (e.g., eczema, alopecia)
- Those with facial asymmetry or genetic predisposition to low-set brows
- Patients looking for non-surgical, subtle improvements
For more advanced cases of sagging in older individuals, surgical alternatives may be more effective.
Procedure Steps
- Cleansing and sterilization of the treatment area
- Marking the entry and exit points for the threads in agreement with the patient
- Local anesthesia is applied using injections to numb the area
- Insertion of threads using fine needles under the skin—typically three threads per eyebrow
- Pulling and tightening the threads for lift, with anchoring done near the hairline
- Trimming excess thread and disinfecting the area
Post-Procedure Instructions
- Apply ice packs for 20 minutes immediately after the procedure to reduce swelling
- Sleep with the head elevated for 3–5 days to minimize swelling
- Avoid washing the face vigorously or applying pressure for 5–7 days
- Refrain from smoking for at least one month to support healing
- Limit facial expressions (such as raising eyebrows or frowning) for two weeks
- Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks post-procedure
- Stay away from saunas and steam rooms for three weeks
Advantages of Thread Brow Lift
- Minimally invasive with no surgical incisions
- Short procedure time (around 30 minutes)
- Quick recovery — most people resume normal activities the next day
- Lower cost compared to surgical brow lifts
- Immediate visible results
- Threads stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin tone and firmness over time
- Fewer complications than surgical alternatives
