What is a thread lift?
A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure in which the doctor inserts fine medical threads beneath the skin through a thin needle or cannula. Small cogs or barbs on the threads grip the tissue, so sagging skin can be repositioned and held in a lifted position.
The threads are made of materials such as PDO (polydioxanone) that the body gradually absorbs. As they dissolve, they trigger new collagen around them, which helps the skin stay firmer after the threads themselves are gone.
Who is a good candidate?
- Early jowls or a softening jawline
- Flattened or sagging cheeks
- Drooping brows or outer eyelids
- Anyone who wants a visible lift with little downtime
- People who are not ready for a surgical facelift
A thread lift is less suitable for very loose or heavy skin, during pregnancy, or with an active skin infection in the area. Your doctor will check this at consultation and may suggest an energy-based lift such as Ultherapy instead or in combination.

How the treatment works
-
Consultation & design
The doctor assesses your face and skin, then marks the lift vectors and decides the thread type and number.
-
Anaesthesia
Local anaesthetic is applied at the entry points so the procedure is comfortable.
-
Thread insertion
Threads are placed under the skin with a fine cannula and gently tightened to lift the tissue.
-
Aftercare
Mild swelling, tightness or bruising can last a few days. Avoid wide mouth opening, facial massage and saunas for about two weeks.
Tips for international patients
- Message us on WhatsApp before your trip so the doctor can review photos and plan the threads.
- Schedule your thread lift early in your stay so swelling settles before you fly home.
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements for a few days before treatment to reduce bruising.
- Ask about combining threads with a skin booster for better skin quality.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a thread lift last?
Results typically last around 12–18 months, depending on the thread type, your age and skin quality. The collagen the threads stimulate helps the effect last beyond the lifespan of the threads themselves.
Does a thread lift hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used, so most people feel only pressure and mild discomfort during the procedure. Tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal.
What is the downtime after a thread lift?
Most people return to normal activities within a day or two. Mild swelling, bruising or a feeling of tightness usually settles within about a week.
Which thread lift is right for me?
It depends on the area and how much lift you need. MINT and other barbed PDO threads give a stronger lift, while finer threads mainly improve firmness. The doctor recommends the type and number at consultation.
