A face thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at lifting and tightening sagging skin on the face using specialized threads. Modern day threads are able to latch onto tissues to provide a lifting effect. Moreover, over time, these threads stimulates collagen to form, enhancing facial volume. This procedure is an excellent alternative for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their appearance without undergoing traditional facelift surgery.
Face thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate and contour the face. This innovative technique utilizes biocompatible threads to lift sagging skin, stimulate collagen production, and restore youthful contours without the need for extensive surgery.
One of the key benefits of face thread lifting is its ability to deliver immediate results that continue to improve over several months. The procedure is tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring a personalized approach to facial rejuvenation. Additionally, face thread lifting is a versatile treatment that can address various concerns, including sagging cheeks, jowls, and neck, as well as enhancing the jawline and brow.
Natural lifting results. Thread lifting elevates and restores sagging skin over cheeks, laugh lines, and neck.
Turn back the clock with anti-aging and skin boosting benefits. Facial thread lift enhances skin texture and elasticity.
Tones skin & reduces fine lines. Stimulates collagen to strengthen skin. Safe, effective and low downtime procedure.
The threads used in the procedure are biocompatible and designed to lift and support the skin. They have tiny barbs or cones that anchor them in the tissue, providing an immediate lift. Over time, they stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.
Ageing causes many effects on the skin. Collagen and elastin which are the building blocks of skin architecture gets more disorganized and is broken down at an accelerated pace due to the ageing process. The end result? Skin gets thinner, saggier, wrinkled and more folds appear.
Thread lifting reverses the effects of the ageing skin. By placing biocompatible and dissolvable threads under the skin, it stimulates collagen growth and contributes to skin tightening and anti-wrinkle face-lifting effect.
Traditional thread lifting procedures for facial lift is an invasive procedure that involves an incision into the skin and dissection of tissues. The procedure typically takes about 4 hours, and is associated with significant pain, bruising and swelling following the procedure. Scarring is evident along the incision line.
On the other hand, the newer facial threads, using biocompatible material and technique is minimally invasive. Using advanced principles of parallel vector technique, collagen is stimulated and skin is lifted and tightened. This lunchtime procedure lasts 30-60 minutes, pain and down time is mild and temporary, and no scarring is seen.
PDO Thread Lift for facial rejuvenation uses the biocompatible material known as polydiaxonone (PDO). PDO materials are used extensively in surgery due to its safety, biocompatibility and resilience. PDO is also a biodegradable material. This means that it is naturally broken down by your body before being excreted within 6 to 8 months.
PDO thread lift has shown to cause tissue contracture and increase thickening of the dermal layer of the skin. This is explained by the increase in collagen synthesis. The improvement in the tensile strength in the skin reinforces skin integrity.
There are various types of threads that are designed for specific treatment outcomes. Threads differ in their composition, thickness and design. This gives greater flexibility and option when conceptualising the best approach for you.
Threads are made from biocompatible and biodegradable materials. They are safely dissolved in the body after a few months. They act as a scaffolding for effectively stimulating fibroblast and new collagen growth. Most threads are made from poly-diaxonone (PDO), commonly used in everyday surgery for wound closure. It completely reabsorbed by the body in 6 months. Threads made from poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) slowly reabsorb within 1-2 years.
The Cog threads are designed to anchor more firmly within the skin. Cog threads have barbs, which upon insertion are attached to the skin tissues. The design of this thread helps to pull skin more evenly by distributing the stresses more uniformly. This provides a better lift compared to Mono Threads.
Main area: Cheeks, Jowls, Nasolabial folds, Nose.
Spiral cog threads are engineered to have stronger skin lifting capacity. The barbs are designed in a 360 degree fashion around the threads. They are able to hold tissues stronger and distribute forces more evenly. These types of PDO threads are used in areas where more anchoring and lifting is required.
Main areas: Cheeks, Jowls, Nasolabial folds.

You would need to understand the cost of the procedure, including consultation fees, medications and fees for other aesthetic procedures (if performed together).
You need to be aware that non-absorbable threads only last 1-2 years. Future treatments to maintain or enhance the results over time may be needed. While thread lifting has its merits, a multimodal treatment approach to aging is required in most cases.
The procedure typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated and the complexity of the treatment plan.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area, ensuring a virtually painless experience.
Recovery time is minimal. Patients can usually return to normal activities within a few days. Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common but typically subside within a week.
The results of a face thread lift can last from 1 to 2 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and the specific threads used. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the results.
Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area. These usually resolve within a few days. Rarely, there may be minor complications such as infection or thread displacement, which can be managed by the doctor.
Yes, a face thread lift can be combined with other non-surgical procedures such as Botulinum toxin injections, dermal fillers, or skin resurfacing treatments for enhanced results.
Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate sagging skin who are looking for a non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.
A consultation is arranged before any procedure is undertaken to determine your suitability and safety.
After the procedure, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, and facial massages for about a week. Patients should also sleep with their head elevated and on their back to reduce swelling and avoid pressure on the treated areas.
