Aftercare & Post-Treatment Guidelines

What to Expect

  • Mild swelling, redness, or bruising along thread paths (resolves in a few days).
  • Tightness, pulling sensation, or mild asymmetry during the first 1–2 weeks.
  • Small dimpling or puckering of skin may occur and usually smooths out naturally.
  • Results improve gradually over 4–12 weeks as collagen forms.

DO

  • Sleep on your back with head slightly elevated for 3–5 nights.
  • Apply bland moisturizer or soothing cream if skin feels dry or irritated.
  • Use SPF 30+ daily and avoid direct sun exposure for 1–2 weeks.
  • Stick to soft foods if jawline/cheek areas are treated (minimize chewing).
  • Follow provider's instructions for check-up visits.

DON'T

  • ❌ Avoid wide mouth opening, heavy chewing, yawning, or dental work for 1 week.
  • ❌ No strenuous exercise, hot yoga, saunas, or steam rooms for 1 week.
  • ❌ Do not massage or press on treated areas unless instructed.
  • ❌ Avoid makeup on entry points for 24 hrs.
  • ❌ No tanning beds or harsh skin treatments for 2 weeks.

Nutrition for Collagen Support

Vitamin C → An essential co-factor for collagen synthesis. Include citrus fruits, kiwis, bell peppers, and berries.

Protein → The building block of collagen. Eat lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu, beans, or protein shakes daily.

Tip: Consistently consuming Vitamin C + protein after your procedure helps maximize thread lift results and supports long-lasting collagen regeneration.
