Thread Lift
Key Characteristics
Thread facelifts provide a more ‘cut’ or defined look to key areas of the face by tightening loose skin on the face left by ageing or weight loss. Loose skin on the face and neck will also promote collagen production, meaning surgery is unnecessary to tighten the skin.
As an experienced cosmetic physician should perform non-surgical facelifts, we are one of the few clinics to offer these procedures throughout Sydney and Newcastle.
Our thread lifts help give that natural look without creating a dramatic and non-natural look. We perform the procedure to keep your natural facial harmony with more youth and rejuvenation.
What is involved with a non-surgical thread lift AKA- losing the loose skin?
This minimally invasive procedure will dramatically reduce loose skin, restoring and lifting areas of the face without the need for surgery. We use absorbable threads to support and lift the tissue structures that have lost their previous formation, ending in a more youthful and rejuvenated look. As the threads break down, collagen increases- improving skin texture and firmness without the cost and downtime attributed to surgical measures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a non-surgical facelift / thread lift hurt?
It may cause minimal discomfort due to the pulling sensation of the thread. However, we use a local anaesthetic before the treatment starts.
How long does it last?
The thread lift lasts 12 months, but the PDO threads dissolve after 6-8 months—the youthful results of skin lifting and tightening last longer due to the stimulation effect of the thread.
When can I see the results?
Results start to occur immediately post-treatment but continue to improve 3-4 months post-treatment.
How often do I need treatment?​
Depending on skin laxity, genetics and lifestyle, it can be performed every 12 months if desired.
What is the post-procedural advice?
You may feel a little sore post-procedure once the anesthetic wears off for a few days. We encourage you to keep performing your normal duties. Please click for more information.
