Is a thread lift the same as a surgical facelift?

No. A thread lift is minimally invasive and suitable for mild to moderate laxity. It does not replace surgical facelifting.

How long do results last?

Typically 12–18 months depending on skin quality and ageing pattern.

Is the procedure painful?

Local anaesthesia ensures minimal discomfort during the procedure.

Mild swelling, tenderness or bruising may occur for a few days. Most patients resume routine activity within 48 hours.

When will I see results?

An immediate lift is visible, with progressive tightening over 3–6 months.

Are the threads permanent?

No. Threads are absorbable and gradually dissolve while stimulating collagen.

Who should avoid thread lifts?

Patients with severe skin laxity, active infections, bleeding disorders or certain autoimmune conditions require evaluation before proceeding.

Can thread lifts be combined with fillers or Botox?

Yes. Combination therapy is often planned to optimise structural balance and facial harmony.

How do I maintain results?

Collagen-supporting treatments and maintenance procedures may be advised periodically.
