Thread Lift
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift, reposition, and support the facial tissues. It provides a subtle but noticeable lift while also stimulating collagen production for long-term improvement in firmness and contour. The result is a more refreshed, defined, and youthful appearance without surgery.
Thread lifts are recommended for individuals experiencing mild to moderate sagging in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, brows, or neck. It is ideal for those seeking a natural-looking lift with minimal downtime and who are not yet ready for surgical procedures.
There is no specific ideal age for a thread lift. Most patients choose this treatment in their late 30s to 50s, depending on skin quality and degree of tissue laxity. The decision is based more on individual concerns than age itself.
During the procedure, dissolvable threads are inserted beneath the skin using fine cannulas. Once positioned, the threads are gently adjusted to lift and support the tissues. They also stimulate collagen production over time, enhancing firmness and contour. The technique is tailored to each patient’s anatomy and desired results.
Local anesthesia is typically used to ensure comfort during insertion of the threads. Most patients tolerate the procedure well with minimal discomfort.
A thread lift session usually takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the number of threads placed and the areas treated.
No. A thread lift is an outpatient procedure, and you can return home immediately afterward.
Thread lifts are performed in clinics in Greater London that maintain high standards of hygiene, safety, and medical care, using appropriate sterile equipment in a controlled environment.
Most patients resume daily activities within 24 to 48 hours. Mild swelling, tenderness, or temporary dimpling can occur and typically resolves within days to a week. Full settling of the threads occurs over several weeks as collagen develops.
Post-treatment care includes avoiding excessive facial movements, high-impact exercise, and pressure on the treated areas for several days. Sleeping on your back, avoiding massage, and following all personalised aftercare instructions help ensure optimal results and proper thread integration.
The first step is to schedule a consultation. During this appointment, I will assess your facial structure, skin quality, and goals to determine whether a thread lift is suitable for you. I will discuss expected outcomes and provide all necessary details about the procedure.
Healthy patients typically do not require pre-treatment tests for a thread lift. Additional evaluations may be recommended depending on your medical history or specific concerns.
The cost varies depending on the number of threads used, the treatment areas, and the complexity of the procedure. Fees generally include practitioner expertise, clinic fees, and product costs.
On average, thread lifts range from £800 to £2,000, depending on the treatment plan. You will receive a personalised quote during your consultation.
