“According to a new report published by Introspective Market Research, Aesthetic Threads Market by Product Type, Material, Application, and End User, The Global Aesthetic Threads Market Size Was Valued at USD 149.2 Million in 2024 and is Projected to Reach USD 294.0 Million by 2035, Growing at a CAGR of 6.4%.”

The global aesthetic threads market involves the use of specialized medical sutures, made from biocompatible materials like Polydioxanone (PDO), Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), and Polycaprolactone (PCL), to perform minimally invasive thread lift procedures. These threads are strategically inserted under the skin using cannulas or needles to lift and reposition sagging tissue and, critically, stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. This dual-action mechanism offers both immediate physical lifting and long-term skin rejuvenation.

The market has gained significant traction as a preferred alternative to traditional surgical facelifts, owing to its numerous advantages, including minimal downtime, lower risk profile, and shorter procedure time. Aesthetic threads provide a non-surgical solution for facial contouring, brow lifts, neck lifts, and body tightening, appealing to a broad demographic seeking subtle, natural-looking aesthetic enhancements. Continuous innovation in thread design, such as barbed and cone-shaped threads that offer superior anchoring, is further driving the rapid adoption across cosmetic clinics and medical spas globally.

Market Segmentation:

The Aesthetic Threads Market is segmented into Product Type, Material, and Application. By Product Type, the market is categorized into Permanent Threads and Absorbable Threads. By Material, the market is categorized into Polydioxanone (PDO), Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), and Polycaprolactone (PCL). By Application, the market is categorized into Face Lift, Breast Lift, and Other Procedures (Neck, Body Contouring).

Growth Driver:

Surging Preference for Minimally Invasive and Non-Surgical Aesthetic Procedures: The key driver fueling the aesthetic threads market is the overwhelming shift in consumer preference away from invasive cosmetic surgeries towards non-surgical or minimally invasive alternatives. Patients are increasingly seeking effective anti-aging treatments that offer visible results with significantly reduced recovery time, lower risk of complications, and diminished scarring. Thread lifts perfectly address this demand, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities almost immediately, a major factor in their growing popularity among the working-age population.

Market Opportunity:

Expansion of Procedures into Body Contouring and the MedSpas Channel: A significant market opportunity lies in the expansion of thread lift applications beyond the face to include body contouring (e.g., abdomen, arms, buttocks) and the rapid growth of the medical spa (MedSpa) channel. Advanced threads with extended lengths and improved tensile strength are making body lifting a viable non-surgical option. Furthermore, the proliferation of MedSpas, which are generally more accessible and offer a high-volume, standardized approach to aesthetic procedures, is lowering the market entry barrier for consumers and driving procedure volume.

Detailed Segmentation:

Aesthetic Threads Market, Segmentation The Aesthetic Threads Market is segmented on the basis of Product Type, Material, and Application.

Product Type The Product Type segment is further classified into Permanent Threads and Absorbable Threads. Among these, the Absorbable Threads sub-segment accounted for the highest market share in 2024, holding approximately 83% of the segment. The dominance of absorbable threads, primarily PDO, PLLA, and PCL, is due to their biodegradability, which negates the risk of long-term complications and allows them to stimulate collagen production as they dissolve over 6 to 24 months, providing a naturally rejuvenating effect.

Material The Material segment is further classified into Polydioxanone (PDO), Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), and Polycaprolactone (PCL). Among these, the Polydioxanone (PDO) sub-segment accounted for the highest market share in 2024. PDO threads are the most widely used material due to their established clinical efficacy, predictable absorption timeline (6-8 months), and versatility in various thread designs (mono, screw, cog). They are the default choice for practitioners seeking reliable lifting and collagen stimulation properties.

Key Industry Developments

News 1: In July 2024, Croma-Pharma GmbH announced the launch of a new generation of contoured absorbable PDO threads with enhanced fixation strength and an extended shelf life. This product innovation focuses on improving the immediate mechanical lift and durability of the thread, addressing a key physician requirement for treating areas with heavier skin, such as the lower face and neck.

News 2: In August 2023, Dr. Hugo Ho launched the Aptos thread lift system, featuring a unique polymer blend of 75% Polylactic acid (PLA) and 25% Polycaprolactone (PCL). The combination of PLA and PCL aims to provide the robust collagen stimulation of PLA with the longer-lasting tensile strength of PCL, offering a next-generation thread with superior longevity and sustained results.

Key Findings of the Study

• Absorbable Threads (PDO, PLLA, PCL) dominate the market due to their safety profile and collagen-stimulating benefits.
• The Face Lift/Rejuvenation application segment commands the largest revenue share.
• North America holds the largest regional market share, driven by high consumer spending on aesthetics.
• The market trend favors South Korean manufacturers and the expansion of thread procedures into body contouring.
