Lifting Threads – Advanced Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
What Are Lifting Threads?
Lifting threads are minimally invasive medical sutures designed to lift, reposition, and tighten sagging skin without surgery. These threads—commonly made of PDO (Polydioxanone), PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid), or PCL (Polycaprolactone)—are inserted beneath the skin to provide an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production for long-term rejuvenation.
This treatment bridges the gap between non-invasive cosmetic procedures and surgical facelifts, offering natural-looking results with minimal recovery time.
Thread lift are minimal invasive procedure that is suitable for both men and women. This is where sutures like material is placed under the skin to provide an instant lift to saggy skin on the face, neck and body.
The PDO threads provide an immediate lift and also stimulate collagen production. The threads are biodegradable and will gradually dissolve over time.
How Lifting Threads Work
Mechanical Lift (Immediate Effect)
Specialized barbed or cog threads anchor into the soft tissue, creating an instant repositioning of sagging skin. This improves facial contours, tightens loose skin, and restores youthful definition.
Collagen Induction (Long-Term Effect)
After placement, the threads trigger a natural healing response. The body produces new collagen, elastin, and fibrin around the threads’ structure, reinforcing the lift and improving skin elasticity over time.
Gradual Dissolution
While the threads dissolve slowly over several months, the new collagen network they generate continues to support the skin for 12–24 months, depending on thread type.

Post thread lift care
-
Following your procedure the nurse will clean and tape your skin in a suspended position. You will be required to maintain this taped position for a minimum of 2 days following the procedure
-
You will be prescribed an antibiotic to be taken 3 x a day for 7 days. This is just precautionary in order to reduce your chance of suffering from an infection.
-
After the treatment, you may experience some soreness and pain over the treated areas. Over the counter analgesic medication such as Paracetamol can be taken in case of discomfort. Do not take anti-inflammatory medications such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Voltaren, etc. for the first 7 days.
-
Mild swelling and bruising can occasionally occur and may be noticeable for a few days.
-
The treated area may be tender to touch. You might feel the suture underneath the skin as a result of the area being swollen/inflamed. This is normal and will improve over the first week and should be gone after 3-4 weeks.
-
Should you experience severe pain or swelling in the treated area/s, contact us immediately.
-
Expect 10-14 days for the skin to fully recover its natural aspect. However, you can resume most normal activities within 2-4 days.
-
Follow-up appointments to ensure the skin is responding and healing as it should are made with your treating nurse at 2-4 weeks after procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions – PDO Lifting Threads
What are PDO lifting threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) lifting threads are dissolvable medical sutures inserted beneath the skin to lift sagging tissue, improve facial contours, and stimulate collagen production for long-term rejuvenation.
How do PDO lifting threads work?
They provide an instant mechanical lift using tiny cogs or barbs that reposition the skin. Over time, the threads stimulate the body to produce new collagen, which strengthens and tightens the skin even after the threads dissolve.
What areas can be treated with PDO lifting threads?
Common treatment areas include:
-
Jawline & jowls
-
Cheeks & midface
-
Brows & eyelids
-
Neck
-
Nasolabial folds
-
Marionette lines
Some practitioners also use threads on the body for mild lifting
