Threads

The Procedure

Thread lift involves the placement of dissolvable threads beneath the skin via small entry points to support lifting and repositioning of facial tissues. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, avoiding the risks associated with general anaesthesia.

  • Results: Individual outcomes vary and will be discussed in detail during consultation. As the ageing process continues over time, further lifting may be considered in the future through the placement of new threads.
  • Recovery: Swelling typically settles within 3–5 days. Some bruising and mild soreness may occur for 3–4 days and can generally be managed with simple pain relief. Entry point marks are minimal and typically resolve within 2–3 days. Most patients are able to return to work within a few days to a week.
  • Scarring: As the procedure uses small entry points rather than large incisions, visible scarring is generally minimal.

What To Expect

  • 1. Non-Surgical Facial Lifting & Repositioning

    Thread treatment offers a minimally invasive approach to supporting facial lifting and tissue repositioning, which may help improve the appearance of sagging skin and contribute to a more defined without the need for surgery.

  • 2. Collagen Stimulation & Skin Renewal

    The dissolvable threads used in this treatment may help stimulate the skin's natural collagen production over time, contributing to skin firmness, texture, and overall skin quality in treated areas as the threads gradually dissolve.

  • 3. Performed Under Local Anaesthesia with Minimal Downtime

    The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia in a clinical setting and is generally well tolerated. Most people experience minimal downtime and can generally resume normal daily activities shortly after treatment, making it a convenient option for those seeking facial rejuvenation without surgical recovery time.
