What is Thread Lift?
Thread Lift, also known as face lift, is a non-surgical, minimally invasive skin lifting treatment that uses dissolvable, medical-grade threads placed beneath the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas. It helps redefine facial contours, improve skin firmness, and deliver an instant lifted appearance—without cuts, scars, or long downtime.
The treatment commonly targets the jawline, cheeks, eyebrows, under-eyes, and neck, and can also be performed on the arms and abdomen. Along with lifting, the threads stimulate natural collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time, resulting in a youthful, firm, and naturally refreshed look.
How does it work?
Ageing causes bone loss, fat reduction, muscle thinning, and breakdown of collagen/elastin, leading to wrinkles, folds, and sagging skin. Thread lift, also known as a non-surgical face lift, reverses these changes by repositioning facial tissues without surgery, cuts, or downtime. It uses bio-compatible PDO (Polydioxanone) threads, placed in deeper skin layers, which dissolve naturally within 6 months while lifting sagging areas.
The threads give instant tightening and a lifted look, reduce lines, and smooth folds. They also stimulate fibroblasts to boost collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity. Results last 18–24 months, offering a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. This treatment is safe, effective, and more affordable than surgical face lift, with natural-looking, long-lasting results.
What are the benefits of thread lift?
Thread lifts offer many benefits including the following:
- Ideal non-surgical solution for multiple signs of ageing
- Provides sharper and more defined facial contours
- Rejuvenates skin and makes it look more rested, firm, and lifted
- Reduces sagging without cuts, scars, or general anesthesia
- Stimulates collagen production for long-lasting youthful results
- Quick, safe, and effective treatment with minimal downtime
Who is an ideal candidate for Thread Lift?
Thread lift is suitable for both men and women between 25 to 45 years who are experiencing early signs of ageing like mild sagging or loss of skin firmness. People in their 50s and 60s can also benefit from this treatment to reduce wrinkles and improve skin tightness. It is also a great option for those who have loose skin due to sudden weight loss and want a safe, non-surgical solution with natural-looking results.
How long does the procedure take?
Thread lift is a quick and simple procedure, typically completed in 45–60 minutes.
Is it painful?
You may feel mild discomfort during the procedure, which is why it is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience.
What can I expect during recovery?
There is no downtime, and you can resume your daily activities immediately. Mild swelling may occur but usually settles within a day. In rare cases, minor bruising can appear, which generally fades within a week.
What results can I expect after the procedure?
You will notice an instant lift in sagging areas with visible improvement in folds, wrinkles, and fine lines. Over the next 3 months, collagen remodeling enhances the results further, improving skin texture, firmness, tone, and radiance, giving your face a naturally youthful and lifted look.
How many sessions are required?
Thread lift is a one-time procedure. Since ageing is a continuous process, the treatment can be repeated after 18–24 months if needed.
