About

WHAT ARE THREAD LIFTS?

Thread lifts use dissolvable sutures (threads) inserted under the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue. The threads have tiny barbs or cones that anchor to tissue, providing an immediate lifting effect. Over time, the threads dissolve while stimulating collagen production for ongoing tightening. It's a minimally invasive alternative to a surgical facelift.

COMMON TREATMENT AREAS:

  • Cheeks and midface
  • Jawline and jowls
  • Neck
  • Brows
  • Nasolabial folds

Process

What to Expect

A qualified practitioner inserts dissolvable threads under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads are positioned to lift sagging tissue and create support. The barbs anchor the threads in place, providing immediate lift. As threads dissolve over 6–12 months, they stimulate collagen production for continued improvement.

I’m so thankful that I found Javaani aesthetic clinic! The entire team was incredibly kind and professional. I received a PDO thread lift, and the experience and results were phenomenal! I’m so pleased with the results and would definitely travel back from the U.S. for my next treatment. Highly recommend! I would give 10 plus stars if it were possible 🩷🌟

Having done a lot of research regarding thread and fox eyes lift, I decided to travel all the way from Nottingham to visit Dr Matlas clinic and this was a fantastic experience. Dr Matla went above and beyond to listen to me. He has done a fantastic work and I look amazing! I certainly recommend Dr Matla to everyone. Many thanks to the receptionist and everyone at the clinic. N

Had silicone spring threads a month ago. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. The staff are attentive and compassionate and I felt safe and respected at all times. I was in very good hands with Dr Qureshi and I am more than delighted with the results. Communication throughout was excellent and I had someone on the other end of the phone if I had any concerns Fabulous!!!

I’ve had a threading procedure with Dr Ramm earlier today. I was nervous but he was lovely very professional and caring and I am absolutely delighted with the results so far! Cannot recommend him enough !! Pic below is with initial swelling as directly after the procedure but you can see the difference clearly!! It will drop a little apparently but I think he’s knocked at least ten years of me!!

I came to see Gabi to ask her advice on the best treatment for me. After a very informative consultation we decided I would have the thread lift. On the day I was quite nervous but Gabi and Clare reassured me. The whole treatment went really well. I am thrilled with the results. I feel so much better about myself. The whole team from start to finish have been fantastic. I would say to anyone thinking about having a cosmetic treatment at Face matters go for it.

My daughter did her research to find the best skin care clinic to suit her on the South Coast and chose Aureum Skin Care. She encouraged me to make an appointment and accompany her as I was feeling quite down with the way I was looking due to the aging process. My husband was surprised at the improvement straight away after having threads. But it does take 6 months to get the full effect. Threads combined with Botox has given me a lift and I feel much happier about my appearance. I am now hooked.

Dr Santos is an amazing practitioner, and was so professional, friendly, & caring, talking me through the whole process of having my facial threading explaining clearly what she hoped she could achieve by using the threads. I left her surgery feeling so much better, and now days later my face is looking really good. Thank you Dr Santos, see you soon for my next appointment.

I have been to Dr Chike for PDO threads twice now. I have been more than happy with my results on both occasions. For this reason, I now only go to him for threads! I would highly recommend Hampstead Aesthetics for PDOs, the clinic is friendly and professional and I had a great experience both times.
