Skin rejuvenation from the natural wound healing process

Thread therapy originated from the traditional thread-lift philosophy in western medicine as well as “threads embedding therapy” in oriental acupuncture therapy to control and improve tissue stimulation and muscle contraction.

Threads are 100% PDP (Polydioxanone), a clinically proven biocompatible material, which is already widely used is medical suturing. They are bio-compatible and bio-absorbable.

When do you see results with threads?

There is an immediate improvement seen after treatments with a visible lift in the areas treated. This will improve over a period of 2-6 months as new collagen grows between the threads and gives further lift and tightening to the skin. The threads gradually dissolve over about 6 months, but the resulting lift remains.

How long do the results usually last for?

This varies depending on the patient’s age at the time of treatment, the quality of the skin, degree of sagging and the number of threads used. However, studies have shown that results can last between 2-3 years based on lifestyle.

Are there any side effects with threads?

Thread lifting is a very safe procedure and complications are extremely rare. Minor complications may include temporary swelling and bruising. Patients may feel slight tightness or a pulling sensation following the treatment which subsides over a few weeks.
