Thread Lifts

Thread lifts are minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, also known as surgical facelifts, thread rejuvenations, or non-surgical facelift surgeries. Their purpose is to lift and tighten loose skin on the face and neck. They serve as a non-invasive alternative to traditional surgical facelifts, offering quicker recovery and fewer surgical risks.

The thread lift procedure involves the insertion of biocompatible threads under the skin. These threads lift and reposition the underlying tissues. Typically, the threads are made of dissolvable materials like polydioxanone (PDO), a substance used in medical procedures for many years.

Thread lift treatments offer several benefits for individuals looking to address mild-moderate skin sagging and achieve a tighter appearance. Here are some of the key benefits associated with thread lift treatment:

  1. Non-surgical Treatment: One of the significant benefits of a thread lift is that it is a non-surgical procedure. Unlike traditional facelift surgeries that require incisions and significant downtime, a thread lift involves minimal invasion. This means fewer risks, reduced scarring, and a faster recovery time.
  2. Skin tightening & lifting: Thread lift treatment effectively lifts and tightens sagging skin, providing a noticeable improvement in facial contours. The threads are inserted beneath the skin to lift and reposition the underlying tissues, creating a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The lifting effect is visible immediately after the procedure and continues to improve over time as collagen production is stimulated.
  3. Collagen production: The threads used in a thread lift procedure are typically made of biocompatible materials, such as polydioxanone (PDO). These threads not only lift the skin but also stimulate the production of collagen in the treated area. Collagen is a protein that helps maintain the skin’s elasticity and firmness, contributing to long-term skin rejuvenation and improved texture.
  4. Natural-looking results: Thread lift treatments provide natural-looking results. The threads are strategically placed to lift and support the sagging skin, restoring a more youthful appearance without creating an overly tightened or pulled look. The results are subtle yet noticeable, enhancing the individual’s natural features.
  5. Quick procedure with minimal downtime: The thread lifts procedure typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the extent of treatment. It is performed on an outpatient basis, and most individuals can resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure. Thread lifts offer a significantly shorter recovery time and minimal downtime than traditional surgical facelifts.
  6. Long-lasting results: While thread lift results are not permanent, they can last for several months to a couple of years, depending on factors such as the type of threads used and individual skin characteristics. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally within the body, but the collagen stimulated by the treatment can continue to benefit the skin’s appearance and texture.

At Derma Revive Skin Clinic, our award-winning surgeons & doctors perform thread lift treatment at our clinic in Cannon Street clinic.

  1. Consultation: The process begins with a consultation with a qualified surgeon / Doctor, usually a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the doctor will evaluate your skin condition, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for thread lifts.
  2. Numbing: Before the procedure begins, a local or topical anaesthetic may be applied to numb the treatment area. This ensures that you remain comfortable throughout the process.
  3. Thread insertion: The doctor will make small incisions strategically on your face or neck. The threads are then inserted using a thin needle or cannula and carefully guided into place. The threads have small cones or barbs that grip the underlying tissues, allowing them to be lifted and repositioned.
  4. Tissue repositioning: Once the threads are inserted, the doctor gently lifts and tightens the sagging skin by manipulating the threads. The number and placement of the threads depend on your specific needs and desired outcome. The threads provide immediate lifting effects and stimulate collagen production, contributing to further skin rejuvenation over time.
  5. Trimming excess threads: Any excess threads are trimmed once the desired lifting effect is achieved.

The thread lift procedure typically takes around 60 – 90 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment. After the thread lift procedure, you can generally resume your normal activities immediately, as there is minimal downtime associated with the thread lift work procedure.

The results of a thread lift are visible immediately after the procedure, and they continue to improve over time as new collagen production increases. The thread-lifting side effect can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on factors such as the skin type, of threads used and individual skin characteristics. Eventually, the threads will dissolve naturally within the body.

How Much Do Thread Lifts Cost?

The starting price for thread lifts is £250 per thread. The total cost varies based on the number of threads needed. During a consultation, the required number of threads for the desired result is recommended, and a full cost breakdown is provided.
