Threadlift

Threadlift services offered in Columbia, MD

A Threadlift is an exciting non-surgical cosmetic treatment now available at Dermatology & Advanced Skin Care. Ideal for men and women seeking a subtle lift without undergoing surgery, a Threadlift provides immediate rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Dr. Dean Kane, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has been performing Threadlifts for over 20 years with consistent, successful results.

Threadlift Q & A

Why Choose a Threadlift?

As a facelift expert, Dr. Kane places threads deep within the skin to effectively lift facial tissues, especially around the nasolabial folds, jowls, and jawline. Threadlifts are an excellent option for patients in their 40s or 50s who are not quite ready for a surgical facelift and those who want to refresh results from a prior facelift.

We often say: "If you can pinch an inch of skin on your face, you’re likely a candidate for a surgical facelift, not a Threadlift."

Benefits of a Threadlift:

  • Instant lift with minimal downtime (most patients return to work in 3–4 days)Ideal before special events like weddings or reunions
  • Natural collagen stimulation for long-lasting improvement
  • No general anesthesia or incisions required

How It Works

Using local anesthesia, Dr. Kane inserts dissolvable threads via a needle or cannula beneath the skin. Some threads are smooth, while others have small barbs to hold and lift tissue. Once placed, the excess suture is trimmed, and the area is dressed. While mild bruising or swelling may occur, you can resume most daily activities right away, just avoid vigorous facial massage and sleeping on your side for a few weeks.

Areas Commonly Treated:

  • Browline
  • Under-eye area
  • Forehead
  • Cheeks
  • Jowls and jawline

In addition to the lifting effect, Threadlifts stimulate natural collagen production—the key to long-term skin firmness and a youthful appearance.

How Long Do Results Last?

Threadlift results typically last between 1 to 3 years. The threads dissolve naturally through your body’s lymphatic system, but the collagen they trigger continues to firm and plump the skin. Many patients enhance their results with complementary treatments like dermal fillers.

Front desk was friendly and provided great customer service. In my experience doctors offices tend to run behind, which I understand, but we were seen at the time of our appointment, so no waiting time. The doctor was friendly, informed and answered all our questions.

Everyone in the practice was so kind and caring. Their approach was especially comforting considering that the patient was my young daughter, who was a bit nervous about getting a few moles checked out.

I love Dr. Kuppalli because she is gentle, patient and responsive. Her staff are professional and kind. The only problem I have with this practice is that they don’t have enough appts. to be regularly seen.I’ve considered seeing another practice additionally to get my skin needs met.
