Thread Lift: A Non-Surgical Facelift Alternative
for Firmer and Revitalised Skin
Discover the transformative power of a thread lift – a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate your skin. Bid farewell to sagging skin, wrinkles, and signs of ageing without the downtime and risks associated with surgical facelifts.
What is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a procedure wherein temporary sutures are used to subtly adjust the skin’s appearance. This can contribute to lifting and firming the face. In addition, threads stimulate the body’s “healing response” causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas, supporting the maintenance of facial tissues.
A thread lift stimulates collagen production by triggering the body’s healing response, offering ongoing facial rejuvenation.
Which Common Issues can be Treated with a Thread Lift?
Thread lifts are versatile treatments that address various facial concerns, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures. They are particularly effective for:
- Sagging cheeks
- Drooping eyebrows
- Jowls and excess skin along the jawline
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Neck laxity
- Double chin

What are the Benefits of a Thread Lift?
A thread lift uses temporary sutures to subtly lift and tighten facial skin. It also stimulates collagen production by triggering the body’s healing response, offering ongoing facial rejuvenation. The numerous benefits include:
- Subtle facial lifting
- Immediate results
- Minimal downtime
- Stimulate collagen production
- Minimally invasive procedure (much less invasive than surgical facelifts)
- Shorter procedure time
- Lower risk of complications
- Ongoing and progressive rejuvenation
- Can be tailored to individual needs
Am I a Good Candidate for a Thread Lift?
There is no ‘ideal’ thread lift candidate, however, younger patients and those with mild to moderate age-related changes may wish to consider face threading rather than a surgical facelift. Patients who are working, and are less able to accept a prolonged surgical recovery are also good candidates for consideration of thread lift.
It is important that you consult a specialist plastic surgeon who will assess your individual needs and expectations, and provide a realistic treatment plan for you.
How is a Thread Lift Carried out at EST Clinic?
If you decide to have face threading with us in Melbourne, this is what you can expect:
Consultation
Before embarking on any treatment, the journey begins with a detailed consultation. Dr Lin, our Specialist Plastic Surgeon, will assess your skin type, understand your concerns about issues like sagging or loose skin, and establish realistic expectations. This step is crucial for tailoring your personalised thread lift treatment plan to your unique needs and ensuring optimal outcomes for facial rejuvenation
Procedure
The thread lift procedure at EST Clinic is minimally invasive and employs absorbable threads. Inserted through a fine needle, these threads are strategically placed to lift and tighten sagging skin, whilst also stimulating collagen production for longer-lasting effects.
Results
Thread lifts offer immediate results with noticeable skin tightening and lifting. Beyond the initial lift, the body’s healing response is activated, stimulating collagen production. This leads to ongoing facial rejuvenation, tackling signs of ageing like loose and sagging skin.
Immediate Changes
- Adjust facial contours without surgery
- Modify your jawline
- Address loose skin
Long-term Maintenance
- Gradual support of collagen levels
- Potential for effects to be observed for up to 24 months
- This can be conducted again as changes related to ageing start to manifest
Recovery
Recovery is generally quick with minimal recovery time required. Most patients find they can return to their normal routine within a few weeks. The minimal downtime is one of the key advantages over more invasive options like surgical facelifts.
Possible Risks or Side Effects of Face Threading
While thread lifts are generally a safer alternative to surgical facelifts, it’s important to be aware of potential risks. Following the aftercare guidelines from our skin professionals is essential for minimising these risks. These include:
- Minor bruising
- Infection
- Swelling
- Discomfort or pain

Can Face Threading be Combined with Other Treatments?
Indeed, thread lifts can be synergistically combined with other non-invasive treatments like dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections or Ultherapy. This combination approach amplifies the skin-tightening effect and stimulates more collagen production for a fuller, more youthful look.
How Long Does a Thread Lift Last?
Generally, the results from thread lifting can last up to a year or more. The threads dissolve naturally over time, but the collagen production they’ve stimulated provides longer-lasting facial rejuvenation.
Do Thread Lifts Really Work?
Yes, thread lifts are proven to be effective. They offer immediate lifting and tightening, while the body’s healing response promotes collagen production, thus providing ongoing improvements in the skin’s texture and elasticity.
Are Threads Good for Your Face?
Thread lifts are a non-invasive and effective way to combat the signs of ageing. They offer immediate lifting benefits and stimulate the body’s natural healing response to produce collagen, thereby maintaining skin quality.
Why Do People Get Face Threading?
Many opt for thread lift treatments to counter sagging and loose skin without undergoing a surgical facelift. It provides a quicker, less invasive option with minimal recovery time, making it a popular choice for those wanting to reverse signs of ageing.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from specialist plastic surgeons or appropriately qualified health practitioners.
