Thread Face Lift in London

As you’ve undoubtedly noticed, over the course of time, changes happen to the appearance and shape of your face as a result of ageing. Not only is the elasticity and strength of your skin affected, but you also suffer cartilage, bone and fat loss. Fortunately, there are things you can do to reverse and reduce these symptoms of aging to maintain your natural beauty and improve the health of your skin and face. One of the most effective and least invasive treatments we provide at Harley Street Skin Clinic in London is a thread-lift.

What is a Thread-Lift?

A PDO Thread Lift is a non-surgical facelift with PDO threads, suitable if you have loose skin around your mid to lower face and are looking for a tighter and fresher appearance. The treatment otherwise known as ‘the lunchtime facelift’ is a safe and effective alternative to surgical procedures. Results can be seen immediately and last on average for around 18 months.

Dissolvable threads are inserted into the face using a cannula, lifting loose skin and improving its texture. Unlike a surgical face lift there are no cuts or incisions, just small injections.

MINT Lift that we use is the most advanced PDO thread lift for face and neck rejuvenation. This is the Minimal Invasive Non-Surgical Thread (MINT) lift, which deploys state-of-the-art absorbable PDO threads. MINT Lift’s advanced ‘molding’ threading material composition has an anchoring and tensile strength three times greater than an earlier ‘cut thread’ technologies.

What to Expect From Your Thread-Lift Consultation

Before you can have this plastic surgery procedure, just as is the case when you are having any of our procedures, you need a consultation appointment. This important meeting is conducted by the surgeon who will be performing the thread-lift procedure, if you decide to go ahead with it.

The purpose of the meeting is to assess your personal needs and suitability for the procedure and determine if it is indeed the most appropriate for you.

During the consultation you will field any of the questions you may have about the thread-lift procedure and concerns you may have, as well as giving advice for you.

How Does It Work?

During the procedure, our expert practitioners at Linia Skin Clinic will:

Consultation: Assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals.
Thread Insertion: Insert fine, biodegradable threads under the skin using a fine needle.
Lifting Effect: The threads are gently pulled to lift and reposition sagging skin.
Collagen Stimulation: The threads stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time.

What Are the Benefits of Thread-Lifts?

There are a number of skin complaints and conditions thread-lifts can treat with the following benefits:

Deep-set wrinkles – lines and folds around your chin and nose occur because of fat pads in your face drop down as you get older
Sagging Cheeks – mild and moderate cheek sagging caused by ageing
Jowls – thanks to age and the laws of gravity, jowls often form around your jawline and create problematic extra skin
Hollow Cheeks – ageing can cause your cheeks to lose volume. Thread-lifts can help stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen to remedy this problem and fill your hollow cheeks

Why Choose a Thread Face Lift?

Non-Surgical: No incisions, no scars, and no general anesthesia required.
Instant Results: See visible lifting and tightening immediately after the procedure.
Minimal Downtime: Return to your daily activities within a few days.
Long-Lasting Effects: Enjoy results that can last up to 18-24 months.
Natural-Looking: Achieve a subtle, youthful appearance without looking “overdone.”

What’s the difference between a thread lift and a standard facelift treatment?

There are a few key differences. Here is a visual infographic to show you the key differences between the treatments:

Question?	Thread Lift	Facelift
What does each method treat?	Treats sagging jowls, loose necklines, loss of volume in cheeks, fine lines and wrinkles.	Treats fine lines and wrinkles by removing lax skin and tightening underlying muscles.
When are results seen for each treatment?	Instant results with minimal swelling.	2 weeks of discomfort and a further 4 weeks of settling time.
Are they invasive?	The thread lift is a non-surgical treatment.	This is a surgical procedure which requires anaesthetic, hospital stay and pain management.
Do the treatments leave scars?	No scarring.	Visible scarring and extensive post-procedure care.
How long do results for each treatment last?	Lasts 12+ months	Lasts up to 10 years
What are the side effects for each treatment?	Minimal risks. Light swelling and possible bruising.	Considerable risks including possible infection, nerve damage and/or permanent change of look.
What’s the recovery period for each procedure?	24-48 hours of downtime	14 days of downtime

A Thread Face Lift is ideal for individuals who:

Have mild to moderate skin sagging.
Want to avoid surgical facelift procedures.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I visited doctor Zokaie for the baby face procedure and I have to say he is excellent. The service was wonderful. My face was a bit red at first but within a few hours the redness went away. I could already see the results. I am very very happy. The staff was amazing as well.
