Is a Thread Lift Painful?

Generally, this is not painful, but that is a highly variable answer because some patients are more sensitive than others. Patients who are anxious can receive oral sedation. Local anesthetics are required and can be painful during the infiltration process.
Over time threads can migrate and the barbs can irritate nerves thereby making them painful at a much later date.

There is minor discomfort during the procedure but a local anesthetic will be applied to the area where you will be treated to minimize the amount of pain. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

A thread performed with PDO Threads is typically no more painful than injectables treatments with dermal fillers. Before each procedure, I typically apply a combination of topical and injectable numbing agents to help reduce pain and maximize patient comfort.
