Procedure Overview
Thread lifts use fine, dissolvable threads inserted under the skin to provide gentle lift and support to areas showing early sagging, while also stimulating the skin's own collagen production. This is best suited to mild to moderate laxity — more significant sagging is better addressed with a surgical lift.
IDEAL FOR
Patients with early, mild to moderate skin laxity wanting a subtle lift without surgical downtime.
How the treatment works
01
First consultation
Skin laxity and suitability for a non-surgical approach are assessed, with realistic expectations discussed.
02
Planning
Threads are inserted under local anaesthetic through tiny entry points, typically taking 30 to 45 minutes.
03
The procedure
Some swelling and mild puckering settles over 1 to 2 weeks as the threads integrate.
04
Recovery & follow-up
A review is offered at a few weeks, with results continuing to develop over several months as collagen builds.
