Benefits of thread lifts
Undo the effects of gravity
Thread lifts enhance your natural face shape and contour problem areas like the cheeks, jowls and neck.
Non-surgical facelift
Tighten your skin and restore a more youthful look with a minimally invasive thread lift procedure that is cheaper, faster and more convenient than surgery, with less downtime.
Stimulate collagen renewal
Enjoy long-lasting results with a boost in collagen seen weeks after the thread lift procedure, enhancing your look for longer.
How do thread lifts work?
A thread lift involves the use of temporary sutures to produce a subtle but visible lift in the skin around the face. Instead of surgically removing loose facial skin, portions of the face are resuspended. This has the effect of pulling back the skin and tightening the face.
The thread lift procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Special fine threads with barbs or cogs are placed under the skin using special needles. The barbs allow the threads to anchor to the tissues. When they are in the correct position, the top ends of the threads are pulled, tightened and secured to mobilise soft tissues into the new position.
Once the threads are in place, they stimulate collagen production around them. This helps in securing the tissues in the new lifted position, with further improvement seen over the following months.
The number of threads used and the exact placement site depends on patient’s needs, facial structure and degree of sagging. Our experienced doctors use a number of different types of thread depending on what is most suitable for the patient.
The entire treatment takes less than an hour, and the recovery time is minimal compared to traditional facelift surgery, with low risk for scarring and bruising. Some discomfort is experience when local anaesthesia is injected, but no or minimal discomfort is felt after that.

Anchoring thread lift
We use anchoring threads, which have tiny barbs that gather the skin to produce a noticeable lift. The barbs are strategically placed to hook into surrounding tissue to lift and hold it in place, and then anchored into the brow, temple or scalp. The threads are hidden from sight in the hairline. Thicker barbed threads can also be used to lift the breasts and buttocks.
