I had a great experience. Everyone was very nice and explained in detail what I needed to fix my sagging skin. I will be back again in 6 weeks for more treatments.

Threads Lifting in Mery Álvarez Clinic
About the clinic
Thread lifting at Mery Álvarez Clinic in Medellín, Colombia, provides a non-surgical way to reposition sagging facial tissues. This procedure uses absorbable PDO or polylactic acid threads to lift the skin and stimulate natural collagen production. The clinic holds IPS accreditation and BPC high-quality certification, having treated over 150,000+ patients since 1999.
The Thread Lift Procedure
Dr. Mery Álvarez and her team use thin needles or cannulas to insert threads under the skin. This method lifts tissues in the eyebrows, cheekbones, and neck without any incisions or visible scarring. The treatment takes about 25–30 minutes to complete. Doctors apply a topical anesthetic cream to make the process comfortable. Patients typically see an immediate lifting effect that improves as the body creates new collagen and elastin.
Patient Suitability and Areas of Treatment
This treatment is recommended for patients aged 35–40 and older who have mild to moderate sagging. It effectively targets several areas of the face and neck, including:
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Jowls and the facial oval
- Eyebrows and cheekbones
- Neck area for a firmer profile
The threads are biocompatible and the body absorbs them over 2–3 years. Even after the threads disappear, the new collagen helps maintain the lifting results.
Expertise at Mery Álvarez Clinic
Dr. Mery Álvarez leads the clinic with over 25 years of experience in aesthetic medicine and facial rejuvenation. The facility operates four locations in Colombia and offers virtual consultations for international patients. This allows for personalized planning before traveling for treatment. For enhanced results, the clinic often combines thread lifts with treatments like Radiesse, hyaluronic acid, or botulinum toxin.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is quick, but following specific steps helps the results settle correctly. Patients should sleep on their back with their head elevated for the first five nights. It is important to avoid rubbing or touching the treated area for at least 48 hours. Using sunscreen and avoiding direct sun exposure is also necessary during the initial healing phase. Facial treatments should be avoided until Dr. Mery Álvarez confirms it is safe.

Mery Álvarez Clinic: more details about the clinic
Colombia, Medellín
Mery Álvarez Clinic is a private aesthetic center in Medellín, Colombia. Founded in 1999, it specializes in medical and cosmetic care across four locations. The facility offers non-surgical treatments for the face, body, and intimate areas.
Patient Statistics and Accreditations
The clinic has treated nearly 150,000 patients over 26 years. It holds IPS Accredited Health Providing Institution status, confirming it meets national healthcare standards. A high-quality certification (BPC) signals its adherence to safe medical practices.
Facial Aesthetic Medicine
Specialists perform non-surgical rejuvenation procedures to improve skin texture and contour. The clinic uses Morpheus8 technology, which combines microneedling with bipolar radiofrequency. This tightens sagging skin in 30 to 60 minutes – a non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift.
For skin quality and scar reduction, the clinic provides several advanced methods:
- Endolift 360 for internal tissue lifting using laser energy
- Nanopore Microneedling to deliver specialized serums deep into the dermis
- HALO and MOXI laser treatments for skin resurfacing
- CO2 Laser therapy for scar removal and deep rejuvenation
Injectable treatments include Sculptra for collagen biostimulation and hyaluronic acid fillers for lip volume. The team performs facial PRP therapy, using a centrifuge to enrich the patient's own blood serum. This stimulates tissue regeneration.
Body Contouring and Wellness
The clinic offers non-invasive technologies for body shaping and muscle toning. Coolsculpting reduces fat through controlled cooling. Microson HIFU provides deep tissue tightening. Russian Currents electrostimulation conditions muscles, while radiofrequency targets calf reduction.
Complementary wellness therapies support recovery and immune health:
- Ozone therapy to reduce inflammation and pain
- Serum therapies for detoxification and healing
- Capillary mesotherapy for treating androgenetic alopecia
Capillary treatments use microneedling to deliver active ingredients that strengthen hair follicles. Care ranges from prevention to hair transplant procedures.
Intimate Rejuvenation
Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation addresses functional and aesthetic concerns. The clinic uses MonaLisa Touch and Votiva platforms for these procedures. Both technologies apply laser or radiofrequency energy to restore tissue health without surgical incisions.
Technologies and Devices
The facility uses certified medical platforms for treatment accuracy. The team applies the Endoláser system for Endolifting and gold-coated needles for Morpheus8. Every patient receives a personalized evaluation before treatment begins, matching the plan to their skin conditions and goals.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats patients from the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Virtual consultations help international patients plan care before traveling to Medellín. After treatment, patients receive a written protocol and access to a dedicated follow-up channel.

I am from the Florida, USA, visiting Medellin on vacation. 54 year old Latin male. Before flying down, I made an appointment to meet Mery Álvarez. This is the second year I have visited with her. The consultation went well, she listens to your concerns, what you don’t like and would like to improve. She makes recommendations based on your concerns and provides her expertise on areas that could use improvement. She is very thorough and provides details of the procedures and expectations.
One of the procedures I had done was the endolift or laser lift around the jawline and neck area. This helped reduce the excess fat and non-existent jawline and hanging skin. This does require additional visits to have ultrasounds and drainage massage.
Facial service provided was excellent. Geraldine explained each step of the facial process. She checked in with me to ensure I did not experience any discomfort. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend Mery Álvarez. Btw, there is a hotel above the clinic for your convenience and in the surrounding area.

I’m an American visiting Medellín and had an excellent experience at Clínica Mery Álvarez. I came in for freckle and mole removal and was very impressed with the professionalism, cleanliness, and quality of care. The entire team made the process easy and comfortable, and the results have been great.
I plan to return for additional treatments, including CO2 laser and laser hair removal. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone visiting Medellín, especially fellow Americans looking for high-quality aesthetic treatments.
Muchas gracias a Michelle por su profesionalismo, amabilidad y excelente atención. ¡Fue un placer ser atendido por ti!

I have now visited the Mery Álvarez Clinic four times, and every experience has been exceptional. What I appreciate most is that the team takes the time to listen to my concerns and recommend treatments that complement my overall appearance rather than focusing on just one area.
Over the course of my visits, I have received several of their signature facials, laser treatments, Sculptra, Botox, and both lip and cheek filler. Each treatment has been performed with professionalism, skill, and great attention to detail.
Most recently, Dr. Mery Álvarez helped correct lip filler that had been poorly done in the United States. She restored symmetry, improved volume, and created a much more natural and balanced result. She also enhanced my cheeks in a way that looks refreshed rather than overdone.
The results across all four visits have been remarkable. I look more rested, more youthful, and most importantly, still like myself—just a better version. I trust Dr. Mery Álvarez and her team completely and would highly recommend the clinic to anyone seeking high-quality aesthetic treatments in Medellín.

I was visiting Medellin from FL, USA and got treated by Dra. Juli Villegas. She did amazing! Botox on my forehead, nose filler and lip filler top lip. I felt very comfortable as I was nervous because I don't speak Spanish, but Juli spoke English well and really listened to what I wanted. The work looks amazing and she was very accommodating. Definitely recommend! ❤️🤗
