Threadlift

A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin in the face and neck areas. This makes the skin look younger, smoother, and healthier. Dissolvable PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are safely inserted underneath the skin and are then tightened and pulled back, re-suspending areas that are sagging. This gives the skin a lifted, boosted, and rejuvenated appearance.

Threadlift is suitable for individuals experiencing mild to moderate facial sagging and seeking a non-surgical solution for facial rejuvenation. However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if you’re a suitable candidate based on your medical history and aesthetic goals.

While discomfort during the procedure is minimal, some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensations of pulling or tugging. Your Aesthetic Doctor will inject a local anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort during the treatment.

Threadlift may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as active skin infections, autoimmune disorders, or bleeding disorders. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also avoid the treatment. It’s essential to discuss your medical history with your Aesthetic Doctor to ensure the treatment is safe for you.

Common side effects of Threadlift may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort at the treatment site. These side effects typically resolve within a few days to a week. Serious complications are rare but may include infection, thread migration, or asymmetry.

Patients may notice immediate lifting and tightening effects following Threadlift treatment. However, optimal results typically develop gradually as the body’s natural collagen production increases. Results continue to improve over the following weeks and months, with effects lasting up to 12-18 months.

The frequency of Threadlift treatments depends on individual factors such as skin condition, desired outcomes, and the specific technique used. While some patients achieve satisfactory results with a single treatment, others may benefit from additional sessions to enhance and maintain their results. Your provider can recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your needs.

Threadlift is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, although some temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, and bruising may occur. Your provider may recommend avoiding strenuous activities and facial manipulation for a few days following treatment to optimize results.

Yes, Threadlift can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, or laser treatments to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Your provider can customise a treatment plan to address multiple concerns and achieve optimal results.

While Threadlift provides long-lasting results, the effects are not permanent. Over time, the dissolvable threads naturally degrade within the skin, but the collagen-stimulating effects can last for up to 12-18 months. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the results over time.
