Thread Lift in Mississauga
A minimally invasive solution to lift, volumize and rejuvenate facial and body tissues without the need for surgery.
What is a Thread Lift?
As we age, our skin’s natural support structure weakens. This, combined with the effect of gravity, results in drooping features, jowls, and wrinkles. Thread lifts are a revolutionary way to combat these signs of aging with a non-surgical approach.
Dr. Kumar uses advanced Aptos threads, a newer and more effective alternative to traditional PDO threads. Made from PLA + PCL (sometimes with HA), Aptos threads feature multi-directional barbs that provide a stronger lift and superior collagen stimulation. While the threads absorb naturally over 18 to 24 months, results typically last 3 to 5 years, significantly longer than traditional thread options.

Treatment Details
How does it work?
A numbing agent is applied as required to minimize discomfort.
Dr. Kumar strategically places specialized threads beneath your skin.
Threads are manipulated to lift tissues and improve areas of concern.
The threads stimulate a natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin.
Who is a good candidate?
Best suited for individuals between 30 and 55 with mild to moderate aging signs:
- Mild ptosis (drooping) of the skin
- Loss of skin volume and elasticity
- Sagging jawline, cheeks or brows
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Facial asymmetry
Thread Lift vs. Facelift
Both target sagging skin, but with distinct differences:
- Thread Lift: Minimally invasive, minimal recovery, subtle to moderate lifting, natural refreshed appearance.
- Facelift: Surgical procedure, extended recovery, dramatic results, longer lasting.
Dr. Kumar will help you determine the best choice for your goals.
