Neck,lower and higher face thread Facelift
A thread lift is a procedure that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten and lift your skin. It’s a less invasive procedure than facelift surgery and can often be performed in under 45 minutes without needing to go under a scalpel. Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifts use a biodegradable polyester suture. They’re best suited for rejuvenating your skin while some newer types of thread lifts are better at lifting sagging skin.
The technique involved in thread lifts has been used for more than 30 years within the NHS for cardiac surgery - the threads dissolve over 3 months allowing for the patient to go on living a normal life. They have a fantastic safety rating; not one person has had an adverse reaction to them.
what makes a PDO thread lift different ?
Learn how PDO Thread Lifts are different from other thread lifts and what you can expect during the procedure.
PDO mono threads
Smooth sutures that help rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen production.
Mono threads are a single filament of thread inserted in the skin via a needle for various indications. The monofilament threads provide volume to areas that are commonly difficult to treat with injectable treatments; under the neck, the side of the face, below the cheeks, the top of the lip, and around and under the eyes, for instance.
PDO cog threads
These threads have barbs that latch into your skin like small fishhooks, to provide support and lift parts of your face.
COG thread lifts provide a non-surgical facelift. COG threads have either (depending on selection) been cut or moulded with microscopic barbs which, when inserted into the face and manipulated to the correct position, hold the skin in place. This provides an immediate lifting and smoothing result.
PDO screw threads
Made up of one or two intertwined threads, these are used to help restore volume to sunken parts of your skin.

Patient selection and consultation is key in this procedure. Your expectations and our practitioner's assessment will form the basis of the treatment.
People who benefit the best from thread lifts are usually aged between 35 - 60.
Depending on the areas being treated the procedure can take as little as 15 minutes and up to 90 minutes. Following your treatment, a special soothing and hydrating mask will be applied which takes a further 15 - 20 minutes.
Topical numbing cream will be used when treated with mono threads to keep discomfort to a minimum.
The COG threads are inserted under local anaesthetic, so the procedure is painless.
As with most aesthetic procedures, there is a risk of bruising, swelling and localised redness.
Additionally, around 70% of patients experience slight puckering and bunching of the skin - this is a sign that the treatment has been successful and that a great result will be achieved. This puckering always disappears after a maximum of two weeks. Make-up can be worn 24 hours after treatment.
What is a thread lift?
A thread lift effectively gives you the look of a facelift but without painful and invasive surgery. Clients who are unhappy with loose, sagging skin on the face and around the jawline see wonderful results by choosing a thread lift.
The innovative procedure can be done in just 30 minutes, lifting and firming the skin with no downtime at all. Results are instant and effective, shaving years off your appearance without going under the knife.
How does a thread lift work?
As young people, our skin is supported by elastin and collagen, keeping it firm and wrinkle-free. However, as we start to age, these proteins begin to weaken, resulting in looser, more fragile skin which has a tendency to sag and wrinkle.
