What is it?
Thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable PDO or PLLA threads inserted beneath the skin to physically lift sagging tissue and stimulate collagen production. The result is an immediate visible lift that continues to improve over several months as new collagen forms around the threads.
How does it work?
Under local anaesthetic, ultra-fine threads are carefully placed beneath the skin via micro-needles. The threads grip the tissue and are anchored to provide an immediate lifting effect. As they gradually dissolve over 6–12 months, they leave behind a scaffold of new collagen for lasting rejuvenation.
