A thread lift cost in 2026 ranges from 15,000,000 to 60,000,000 VND per zone (roughly USD 570 to USD 2,280, at about 26,300 VND per USD), depending on the thread material and the area treated. Collagen and PDO threads sit at the lower end, while gold, cog, and Silhouette threads reach the top.
This guide breaks down how much a thread lift is by thread type and facial zone, compares it against a surgical facelift, and explains how long the results last so you can choose the right option for your skin.
Thread lifting pricing table
Thread lift pricing is set per treated zone, and the thread material is the main cost driver. The table below summarizes the most common options.
| Thread type | International term | Thread lift cost per zone (VND) | Estimated cost (USD) |
| Collagen / biological thread | PDO (Polydioxanone) | 15,000,000 – 20,000,000 | ~570 – 760 |
| PDO thread | PDO (Polydioxanone) | 20,000,000 – 25,000,000 | ~760 – 950 |
| Cog thread | Cog / Barbed thread | 25,000,000 – 35,000,000 | ~950 – 1,330 |
| 24k gold thread | Gold-coated thread | 30,000,000 – 50,000,000 | ~1,140 – 1,900 |
| Silhouette lift | Cone-anchored thread | 40,000,000 – 60,000,000 | ~1,520 – 2,280 |
The table above is used only for reference. A precise quote depends on the number of zones, your degree of sagging, and the thread count needed.
What is a thread lift?
A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses specialized medical threads to lift muscle and improve skin structure. Fine needles place the threads into the dermis, forming a support mesh that holds up sagging areas. Over time the threads dissolve and stimulate natural collagen production, leaving skin firmer and smoother.
The main benefits include:
- Instant lift: The threads firm the cheeks, jaw, and neck and refine the facial contour right away.
- Long-term collagen stimulation: Natural collagen is triggered as the threads dissolve, which improves elasticity and glow.
- Short recovery: With no surgery, discomfort is limited and downtime is brief, usually 1 to 2 days with possible mild swelling.
- Lasting effect: Results typically hold for 1 to 2 years, depending on the thread type and your body.
How much does a Thread Lift cost in Vietnam?
How much a thread lift is depends mostly on the thread material. While 2026 prices have not changed dramatically from previous years, service quality and durability have improved. Below are five common options and how they work.
1. Collagen thread lift cost
Marketed as a collagen or biological thread, this is medically a PDO (Polydioxanone) thread. It strongly stimulates collagen as it dissolves, improving skin structure and elasticity, and suits clients who want firmer skin and softening of fine lines. Cost runs from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 VND per zone (roughly USD 570 to USD 760).
2. PDO thread lift cost
A PDO thread lift cost is 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 VND per zone (roughly USD 760 to USD 950). PDO is the most widely used dissolvable thread worldwide, proven safe and effective for reducing wrinkles, lifting loose skin, and triggering natural collagen.
3. 24k gold thread lift cost
This premium thread is made from 24k gold and offers strong anti-aging action while boosting micro-circulation under the skin. It brightens the complexion, softens wrinkles, and supports a younger look. Cost runs from 30,000,000 to 50,000,000 VND per zone (roughly USD 1,140 to USD 1,900).
4. Cog thread lift cost
Cog threads, also called barbed threads, are designed with tiny barbs that grip the tissue for a stronger lift. They are especially effective for heavily sagging areas, giving a firmer, tighter result. Cost runs from 25,000,000 to 35,000,000 VND per zone (roughly USD 950 to USD 1,330).
5. Silhouette lift cost
Silhouette lift threads use small cones to anchor and lift zones that have lost elasticity. They suit clients who want comprehensive lifting with longer-lasting results. Cost runs from 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 VND per zone (roughly USD 1,520 to USD 2,280).
Thread type comparison
| Thread Classification | Primary Clinical Action & Indications | Degradation Profile & Longevity |
| Collagen Thread | Boosts skin architecture and elasticity; softens superficial fine lines | Dissolves via basic hydrolysis; clinical effects last 12 – 18 months |
| PDO Thread | Reduces static wrinkles; lifts early-stage skin laxity; triggers neocollagenesis | Undergoes complete in-vivo absorption in 6 – 8 months; longevity up to 12 – 18 months |
| 24K Gold Thread | Enhances micro-circulation; brightens skin tone; softens wrinkles | Core absorbs while trace gold remains; visible anti-aging effects last up to 36 – 60 months |
| Cog Thread | Provides physical tissue anchoring for heavy sagging and deep folds | Provides an immediate structural lift; results persist for 12 – 24 months |
| Silhouette Lift | Multidirectional tissue anchoring; lifts zones with loss of elasticity | Cones degrade over 12 – 24 months; neocollagenesis extends visible results up to 24+ months |
Thread lift cost by facial zone
Because thread lifts are priced per zone, the area you target shapes the final cost. The thread-type ranges above apply to each zone treated.
- Full-Face Rejuvenation: This comprehensive procedure addresses the complex, interlinked vectors of facial aging. It repositions descended malar fat pads, tightens lateral cheek tissues, and redefines the mandibular border. Standard clinical protocols at reputable hospitals range from 45,000,000 VNĐ to 120,000,000 VNĐ. Premium configurations, such as those utilizing 24K gold threads or specialized Swiss Xline designs, can reach 120,000,000 VNĐ to 200,000,000 VNĐ.
- Mid-Face and Malar Region: Targeting the malar area to correct cheek sagging and soften deep nasolabial folds, this regional treatment is priced between 20,000,000 VNĐ and 50,000,000 VNĐ.
- Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines: Utilizing supportive barbed or molded threads to lift tissue adjacent to the nasolabial lines, this regional treatment is priced from 15,000,000 VNĐ to 40,000,000 VNĐ.
- Jawline and Double Chin: Designed to address jowls and submental tissue laxity, these procedures use high-tensile anchoring threads to recreate a sharp cervicomental angle. Pricing ranges from 25,000,000 VNĐ to 60,000,000 VNĐ.
- Forehead and Temples: This region requires precise placement of fine, smooth, or twisted threads to smooth frontal wrinkles and lift the lateral brow. Pricing ranges from 15,000,000 VNĐ to 45,000,000 VNĐ.
- Nose Reshaping: A non-surgical rhinoplasty technique using rigid structural threads to elevate the nasal bridge and project the tip. Pricing ranges from 10,000,000 VNĐ to 20,000,000 VNĐ.
- Periocular and Eyebrow Regions: Designed to elevate sagging brows and smooth under-eye skin, these delicate procedures cost between 15,000,000 VNĐ and 30,000,000 VNĐ.
For multi-zone plans, the best approach is an in-person assessment so the quote reflects the exact zones and thread count, with no surprise add-ons.
