Thread Lift

A Thread Lift is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that uses biodegradable PDO (Polydioxanone) threads to mechanically lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen production for a natural facelift effect. At Skin World Clinic, our expert doctors perform thread lifts for immediate, natural rejuvenation.

Treatment Overview

Our aesthetic physicians perform a thorough facial assessment and design a thread placement map targeting areas of sagging for optimal mechanical lift and collagen stimulation.

  • PDO Barbed Threads: Biodegradable threads with barbs that physically lift and reposition sagging tissue.
  • Dual Mechanism: Immediate mechanical lift plus long-term collagen stimulation for sustained results.
  • Facial & Body Areas: Effective for cheeks, jowls, brows, neck, and body skin laxity.
  • Minimal Downtime: Local anaesthesia procedure with return to most activities within 24 to 48 hours.

Benefits of Thread Lift

Thread lift provides an immediate facelift effect with the added benefit of progressive collagen stimulation for sustained skin improvement.

  • Immediate Lift

    Achieves instant visible lifting and repositioning of sagging facial tissues.

  • Collagen Stimulation

    PDO threads trigger ongoing collagen production for continued improvement over months.

  • Minimally Invasive

    Local anaesthesia, tiny entry points, and minimal downtime compared to surgical facelift.

Patients with mild to moderate sagging of the cheeks, jowls, brows, or neck who desire a non-surgical lifting option with immediate results are ideal thread lift candidates.

Under local anaesthesia, barbed PDO threads are inserted through tiny puncture points and anchored to deeper tissue. The barbs grip and lift sagging skin while also stimulating collagen remodelling.

Lifting effect is immediately visible after the procedure. Collagen stimulation continues to improve skin quality over 3 to 6 months. Full thread lift results typically last 12 to 18 months.
