Introduction
As we age, the loss of the elasticity of our skin contributes to saggy skin. There are many alternatives available that will improve the appearance of your skin without needing a facelift. At Sharda Aesthetics, we provide a new and innovative non-surgical procedure using polyethylene glycol threads, which will rejuvenate your skin.
They are biodegradable and will instantly lift loose skin by inserting biodegradable threads underneath your skin. In doing this, you can achieve a tighter appearance in your jowls; a more prominent cheekbone appearance, and a more defined jawline for approximately 12-24 months. This procedure will enable you to look and feel better as you leave our office without going through a recovery period due to having had a surgical facelift. Additionally, you do not have any of the risks associated with surgery.
What Are Thread Lifts
Thread lifts involve the use of medical-grade polydioxanone (PDO) or PLL-A thread with very small barbs or cones that catch and lift the sagging skin while encouraging collagen production. The thread is inserted using micro-cannulas and immediately lifts the skin upwards while being absorbed in 6-12 months.
Sharda Aesthetics carefully chooses the type, number, and location of the threads to perfectly suit your anatomy and concerns for a natural-looking lift that doesn’t look pulled.
Why Choose Sharda Aesthetics
Skilled practitioners at Sharda Aesthetics master bi-directional cog threads, smooth PDO threads, and cone threads for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. The clinic serves Jaipur clients seeking subtle yet dramatic improvements without workplace disruption.
Advanced ultrasound technology is used for accurate thread placement, bypassing vascular areas while achieving maximum lifting benefits for the varied Indian facial types.
Targeted Treatment Areas
Lower Face and Jawline
Jowl correction creates crisp jaw definition, eliminating marionette lines and submental fullness effectively.
Midface Cheeks
Malar augmentation restores youthful cheek projection, lifting nasolabial folds naturally.
Eyebrow Repositioning
Lateral brow elevation opens eye appearance, smoothing forehead tension lines.
Neck Threading
Platysma tightening reduces the turkey neck appearance without a surgical neck lift.
Complete Thread Lift Procedure
Comprehensive Consultation
Facial assessment determines thread quantity (20-50 typically), entry points, and directionality based on laxity degree and bone structure.
Local Anesthesia Mapping
Painless numbing precedes micro-incisions (1-2 mm) strategically placed in natural creases.
Precision Thread Insertion
The cannula technique minimizes bruising; threads anchor multidirectionally, creating a suspension network.
Final Adjustment
Excess threads are trimmed; an immediate lift assessment confirms optimal positioning before completion.
Immediate and Progressive Results
Day 1 Results—Instant lift with mild swelling, normal
Week 2 – Swelling resolves, revealing crisp contours
Month 3 – Collagen remodeling peaks, enhancing tightness
Month 12 – Threads dissolve completely; new collagen maintains lift
Sharda Aesthetics documents progress systematically, ensuring a predictable collagen response timeline.
Ideal Candidates for Thread Lifts
– Early-Late Age + background on Laxity – Most Effective for Mild/Moderate Laxity & Early-Aging Men
– Maintenance Post-Facelift Surgery – Easily Maintains Overall Lift (Non-invasively)
– Preoperative Testing Lift Potentiality—Provides a non-surgical option to determine surgical lift abilities prior to having the procedure.
– Men’s Jawline Sculpting—Provides non-surgical angular masculine definition through pursed lips.
Mature skin (>55) benefits less due to advanced tissue descent requiring surgical intervention.

Thread Positioning—Understanding the Difference Between Natural and Overmanipulated Results
Common Questions
How much pain will there be? Minimal (local anesthetic will suffice)
How long will there be no social activity? 3-5 days; 2 months to full recovery
How long will threads last? Mechanical lift: 12 months; collagen effect: 24 months
How often should I repeat this procedure? Yearly maintenance is a minimum for the best results.
Maintenance for Lasting Lift
Quarterly PDO smooth thread refreshers maintain collagen production continuously. Annual assessment determines touch-up thread numbers, preserving sculpted contours year-round.
Neurotoxin prevention of dynamic folds complements static lift maintenance effectively.
