Why Choose a Thread Lift?

A thread lift is ideal for individuals looking to improve the appearance of sagging skin without undergoing extensive surgical procedures. It’s particularly suited for those willing to undergo minor injections and seeking an immediate lifting effect.

This non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation offers a more convenient option with less recovery time compared to a facelift, making it appealing to those who prefer subtle, yet significant enhancements to their appearance.

    How Does a Thread Lift Work?

    The thread lift procedure uses Polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are inserted into the deeper layers of the skin. These threads are strategically placed to achieve three key effects:

    1. Instant Lift: The threads mechanically lift sagging skin, providing immediate results.
    2. Cellular Renewal: The insertion of the threads stimulates collagen production and improves circulation through neovascularisation, enhancing skin texture, reducing fine lines, and improving elasticity.
    3. Skin Tightening: The threads help contract underlying fat tissue, tightening the skin for a firmer appearance.

    As the PDO threads dissolve naturally over time, the body’s healing process continues to improve skin quality and firmness, creating long-lasting effects.

    Areas That Can Be Treated with a Thread Lift

    A thread lift can be used to rejuvenate multiple areas of the face and neck, including:

    • Under-eye area
    • Eyebrows
    • Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
    • Cheeks
    • Nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to mouth)
    • Naso jugal folds (under-eye lines)
    • Wrinkles around the mouth
    • Jawline
    • Neck

    This versatility makes the thread lift an ideal solution for treating various signs of aging and skin laxity.

    Is a Thread Lift Safe?

    The thread lift is a safe and minimally invasive treatment. Compared to other cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers or older thread lifting techniques, the risk of complications is significantly reduced.

    Since the threads are inserted via needles rather than surgery and are fully absorbed by the body within 6 to 8 months, the risk of side effects such as infection or thread breakage is minimal.

    How Long Do Thread Lift Results Last?

    The effects of a thread lift are immediate, as the threads provide structural support to lift and reposition the skin. In the first week after the procedure, the skin may appear slightly tighter, but this will gradually settle, leaving a more natural appearance.

    Within 1 to 2 months, the full effects of improved skin texture, firmness, and smoothness will be visible. Depending on the focus of the treatment—whether it’s more rejuvenation or lifting—the results may vary from person to person.

    Though the PDO threads will dissolve after about 9 months, the positive effects of the treatment can last much longer due to continued collagen production. It is often recommended to repeat the treatment every 6 to 9 months to maintain optimal results, which can last up to 3 years.

    Potential Side Effects of a Thread Lift

    While thread lifts are generally well-tolerated, some mild and temporary side effects may occur, including:

    • Mild swelling or soreness for 3 to 5 days
    • Minimal bruising, if any
    • A slight feeling of tightness that may persist for up to 2 weeks
    • Temporary dimpling of the skin, which usually resolves within a few days

    More serious side effects are rare but may include:

    • Prolonged skin dimpling or surface irregularities
    • Infection
    • Thread migration
    • Granulomas (hard nodules)
    • Nerve damage (very rare)
    • Parotid duct fistula (damage to the salivary gland)
