TESS Lift
What is a TESS Lift?
TESS Lift (Thread Embedded Soft Suspension) is a patented thread lift technique that uses anchoring barbed threads with a 3D mesh structure, placed under the skin using a closed sterile system. Unlike traditional thread lifts, TESS provides
- Stronger tissue lift and hold
- 360° support via mesh cones
- Minimal trauma and downtime
- Higher collagen induction
- Natural-looking, longer-lasting lift
The threads used are absorbable and biocompatible, gradually dissolving while stimulating neocollagenesis to improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity.

What Makes TESS Different?
TESS Lift is not just another thread lift—it is a next-level treatment because of
3D Mesh Anchor System
The threads are preloaded in a 3D mesh structure that grips the tissue from multiple angles—providing a stronger hold, improved symmetry, and longer-lasting results.
Sterile Closed
System
The technique ensures zero contamination risk, offering maximum safety for the patient.
Minimal
Trauma
Thanks to smaller entry points and flexible thread design, there’s less bruising, faster healing, and more comfort.
