Thread Lift

What is a Thread Lift?

A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses dissolvable medical threads placed beneath the skin to support selected areas of the face. It may be considered for individuals who wish to discuss concerns relating to facial contours, skin laxity or age-related changes.

 

At Skinthetics Cosmetic Clinic, every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to determine whether a thread lift is appropriate for your individual needs and treatment goals.

Who May Be Suitable for a Thread Lift?

Suitability for a thread lift varies between individuals. During your consultation, your clinician will assess factors including:

  • Your facial anatomy
  • Skin quality and degree of skin laxity
  • Medical history
  • Treatment goals
  • Whether a thread lift is an appropriate option for your concerns

Not everyone will be a suitable candidate, and your clinician will discuss alternative treatment options where appropriate.

How is a Thread Lift Performed?

Following a consultation and clinical assessment, the treatment area is cleansed and a local anaesthetic may be used to improve comfort.

Dissolvable medical threads are carefully placed beneath the skin using specialised instruments. The number and placement of threads depend on the treatment area and your individual treatment plan.

 

The procedure is performed in a clinical setting by a qualified practitioner.

How Will a Thread Lift be Performed?

Recovery varies between individuals.

It is common to experience temporary:

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Tenderness
  • Mild discomfort

These effects generally improve over time, although recovery differs from person to person.

Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare instructions, including advice on physical activity and follow-up appointments where appropriate.

How Long Do Treatment Outcomes Last?

The duration of treatment outcomes varies depending on the individual, the treatment area and the type of threads used.

 

Your clinician will discuss what you can reasonably expect during your consultation, including whether maintenance treatments may be appropriate.

Will Facial Threading Remove My Wrinkles?

As with any cosmetic procedure, thread lifts carry potential risks and complications.

These may include:

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Tenderness
  • Infection
  • Thread visibility or irregularity
  • Asymmetry
  • Need for further treatment

Your clinician will discuss the potential benefits, risks and expected outcomes before treatment so that you can make an informed decision.
