The Ultimate Lifting Technology: Mesh Thread Lift
Mesh Thread Lift is a groundbreaking innovation in the world of thread lifting, and it’s currently gaining wide popularity. It serves as an excellent option for those who want to lift and contour their face without undergoing invasive surgery.
Today, there is a wide range of threads available—each developed with unique designs and functions to suit various needs. Examples include Lock Threads, Cog Threads, Mono Threads, Tornado Threads, MINT Threads, and Rose Threads. Each type of thread offers different characteristics and benefits.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at Mesh Thread Lift, and help you get to know why it’s becoming such a sought-after choice.
What Is Mesh Thread Lift?
Mesh Thread Lift is a type of dissolvable thread made from PDO (Polydioxanone). It features 3D cog-like barbs at its core, surrounded by a mesh scaffold that wraps 360 degrees around the thread. This design gives the thread greater strength and improves its ability to anchor into the skin tissues compared to conventional threads. In addition, the mesh structure enhances collagen stimulation, helping the skin become plumper, firmer, and more lifted, with longer-lasting results.
What Does Mesh Thread Look Like?
Mesh Scaffold Thread Lift is the world’s first thread lift innovation using biomedical engineering to create a mesh structure that improves tissue anchoring. The mesh shape helps the thread stay firmly in place and deliver more effective lifting.
What Is Mesh Thread Made Of?
It’s made from PDO (Polydioxanone)—a medical-grade material. The thread is blue, features 360-degree cogs, and is wrapped with a fine polymer mesh fiber. This design is up to 80 times stronger than regular cog threads, allowing for better collagen production and enhanced lifting of sagging cheeks. It also helps reshape the jawline and can be used around the eyes and eyelids to correct droopy corners or sagging lids. (Note: Surgical eyelid correction is another effective option—[Click here for more information].)
How Does the Mesh Scaffold Work?
The mesh surrounding the thread is woven from synthetic single-fiber polymers using a special technique. When inserted under the skin, this structure stimulates new cell growth from all directions. Newly formed tissues, including collagen and elastin, naturally integrate into the mesh’s gaps, creating stronger bonds between skin and thread. As a result, the skin becomes noticeably firmer, tighter, and the effects last longer than traditional PDO threads.
Is Mesh Thread Safe?
Yes, Mesh Threads are safe. They are made from PDO—widely used in the medical field for decades. The product is imported by Edencolors Thailand Co., Ltd., and certified by both the Korean FDA and the Thai FDA. As long as the procedure is performed by a qualified, experienced physician in a licensed clinic, you can rest assured that mesh thread lifting is a safe treatment.
Mesh Threads vs. Other Types of Threads – What’s the Difference?
Mesh threads are wrapped in a mesh scaffold, unlike other barbed threads such as Lock Threads or Cog Threads, which only feature internal barbs without the outer mesh layer.
Similarly, threads like MINT Lift or Rose Threads are formed with integrated barbs, but also do not have mesh covering.
In contrast, collagen-stimulating threads like Mono Threads, Screw Threads, or Smooth Threads are long, straight, and do not contain barbs. These are typically used to stimulate collagen in small areas and are ideal for filling fine lines and wrinkles, not lifting.
Benefits of Mesh Thread Lift
- Instant lifting effect: The fishbone-like barbs immediately hook and lift the skin, making visible improvements right after the procedure.
- Fully absorbable threads: Made from 100% dissolvable PDO (Polydioxanone), with no metal components and no residue left behind. PDO is FDA-approved both in Thailand and internationally—ensuring high safety standards.
- Stimulates natural elastin: Once the threads dissolve, they leave behind elastin fibers naturally produced by your body, which help support the skin even after the threads are gone.
- Mimics natural support: The mesh threads work like natural ligaments, holding and lifting the skin, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance.
- Minimally invasive with low bruising: When performed by an experienced physician using the correct technique, the risk of swelling or bruising is significantly reduced.
- Longer-lasting results: Mesh threads typically last 8–12 months for cheek lifting and 4–5 months for eye area lifting—longer than many traditional PDO cog threads.
Areas Suitable for Mesh Thread Lift
- Cheeks & Jawline
- Sunken cheeks
- Sagging or loose skin
- Outer eye corners (Foxy Eyes look)
- Upper eyelids / drooping eyelids
- Nose tip, nostrils, and nose bridge
Who Is Mesh Thread Lift Suitable For?
- Individuals with sagging cheeks due to aging
Mesh threads help lift and firm sagging skin, improving facial contours and creating a more youthful, V-shaped face. - People with hollow or sunken cheeks and low collagen levels
Mesh threads promote collagen production, helping to plump up hollow areas and enhance facial harmony. - Those with localized skin laxity, such as on the forehead, nasolabial folds, or marionette lines
This procedure can be combined with filler injections to fill deeper lines and improve skin firmness. - Individuals with drooping or tired-looking eyes
Mesh threads can be used to lift the outer corners of the eyes, creating a more awake and refreshed look. - People with sagging eyelids or loose upper eyelid skin
This treatment can elevate the eyelids, making the eyes appear bigger and more youthful. - Those who want a more defined nose bridge or smaller nostrils
For this area, a specialized thread such as Tesslift Soft is used specifically for the nose.
Mesh Thread Lift Technique
For optimal results, it’s not just about choosing the right thread type—it also depends heavily on the technique used. Here’s an overview of the key steps:
- Assessment and Planning
The doctor first assesses the patient’s facial structure and determines the appropriate thread placement strategy. - Local Anesthesia
A numbing injection is administered to minimize discomfort during the procedure. - Thread Insertion
Once numb, a needle pre-loaded with mesh thread is inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. - Thread Positioning (Double Parallel)
The needle is pulled back along the same path, placing the thread in the targeted area. This creates Double Parallel positioning of the 3D mesh, encouraging uniform tissue regeneration and improving thread anchoring. - Creating the Second Line
A second pass of the needle introduces another thread in a slightly different direction. - Triple Parallel Technique
After inserting the third line of thread, the result is a Triple Parallel positioning, enhancing support, distributing tension evenly across the area, and minimizing tightness or discomfort after the procedure.
How Many Threads Are Used for Each Area? How Long Do the Results Last?
Mesh thread lift results can last approximately 1–2 years, thanks to the collagen stimulation that continues beneath the skin even after the threads dissolve. However, the number of threads used varies depending on the treatment area:
- V-line lift, jawline contouring, cheek bulge correction:
Typically uses 1–3 threads - Lifting the mouth corners, treating nasolabial folds and marionette lines:
Typically uses 4–5 threads - Lower face contouring, reducing double chin:
Typically uses 6–7 threads
When Will You See the Results?
You will notice an immediate lifting effect right after the procedure, similar to traditional barbed threads. Sagging cheeks will appear lifted, and deep lines such as the nasolabial folds and marionette lines will look softer due to the mechanical lift of the threads.
However, mild swelling may increase within 3–4 hours post-treatment. It’s recommended to allow 7–14 days for the swelling to fully subside for optimal visible results.
Over time, as the mesh threads stimulate collagen production within the skin, you’ll notice a gradual firming and tightening effect. The most noticeable and refined results typically appear around 1 month after the procedure.
For best and long-lasting results, it is highly recommended to follow all post-procedure care instructions closely.
