— What this involves
What thread lifting involves
Thread lifts use absorbable medical-grade threads placed under the skin to provide targeted lift. Some threads also have a regenerative role, supporting collagen activity in the surrounding tissue over time.
The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia in our clinic. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common in the first few days; activity is usually restricted for a short period afterwards.
Threads are not a substitute for a surgical facelift, and outcomes vary by skin quality, anatomy, and lifestyle. Your doctor will confirm whether threads are appropriate or whether a different approach is a better starting point.
