Non-surgical Threadlifting Facelifts

As we get older, the effect of gravity on our faces becomes more noticeable. You might find that your once firm jawline becomes ‘jowly’. Cheek tissue weakens and the edges of your mouth may sag.

Fighting the effects of aging would traditionally require invasive plastic surgery – and that would mean greater risk, greater cost and longer recovery time.

But thread lifts can do the work of a facelift without the invasive surgery, helping to lift, tighten, contour and suspend sagging facial and neck tissues simply and effectively.

Special threads (made from a widely used medical material called PDO) elevate the parts of the face you wish to treat. They act as a tiny support system for sagging skin tissues, helping to redefine your facial contours.

Before we carry out any treatment we’ll complete a full consultation with you and explore all your options so you can make an informed choice.

Once treatment begins it will take about an hour. We’ll cleanse your skin and draw guide marks on the areas we’ll be treating. Then we’ll numb the area with a local anaesthetic (like the one you might have for a dental treatment) and insert the threads.

The threads will biodegrade naturally within 6 months but the lifting effect typically lasts 2-3 years.

Aside from a little bruising and swelling, and some temporary numbness of the area that has been treated, you should feel fine. You should be able to return to work after the treatment if you wish.

Yes. You shouldn’t, for example, have this treatment if you are pregnant, undergoing IVF, have a skin infection or an active cold sore. But we’ll discuss all of these with you when you visit us and ensure that the treatments you choose are suitable for you.
