A cog thread lift is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that uses barbed (or “cog”) threads made of dissolvable material to lift and tighten sagging skin. It provides a non-surgical alternative to a facelift, offering subtle but immediate lifting effects with minimal downtime.
Cog threads are inserted under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The barbs anchor into the tissue and physically lift it, while also stimulating collagen production over time, which improves skin firmness and elasticity even after the threads dissolve.
Commonly treated areas include:
It’s especially effective for lifting mid- and lower-face sagging.
Most people need only one session, with optional touch-ups after 12 to 18 months. The frequency can vary depending on age, skin laxity, and aesthetic goals.
Results are visible immediately and continue to improve over 2–3 months as collagen forms. The lifting effect typically lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on the individual’s skin condition and lifestyle.
