Immediate Lift. Long-Term Rejuvenation.
Thread lifting provides a dual-action approach to aging. First, the threads offer an immediate structural lift to sagging tissues. Second, as these biocompatible threads safely dissolve over time, they stimulate the body's natural healing response, generating new collagen for sustained firmness and skin quality improvement.

The Bridge Between Non-Surgical and Surgical
Thread lifts are not a replacement for a surgical facelift, but they are the ideal solution for patients with mild to moderate laxity who are not yet ready for surgery. Our philosophy focuses on realistic expectations, using threads to reposition tissue gracefully and naturally.
Is a Thread Lift Right for You?
Thread lifts are best suited for patients experiencing early to moderate signs of aging who wish to avoid the downtime of traditional surgery.
- You have mild to moderate sagging in the cheeks, jowls, or neck
- Your skin has adequate thickness and isn't excessively thin or sun-damaged
- You are looking for a procedure with less downtime than a surgical facelift
- You want to combine lifting with the long-term benefits of collagen stimulation
- You understand that results are subtle and not as dramatic as surgery
The Freyea Signature
The success of a thread lift relies entirely on the precise vectors of traction. We do not use a standard template. Instead, we map the exact directional pull required for your unique facial anatomy, ensuring the tension is distributed evenly to avoid puckering and deliver a smooth, natural-looking suspension.
The Treatment Experience
After a thorough consultation to determine candidacy and vector mapping, the procedure is performed within our clinic setting.
Vector Mapping
The ideal pathways for thread insertion are marked on the skin to ensure the optimal directional lift.
Local Anaesthesia
Local anaesthetic is administered to the insertion points and along the planned thread pathways to ensure comfort.
Thread Insertion
Using a fine cannula, the absorbable threads (typically PDO or PLLA) are carefully guided into the subdermal layer.
Tissue Repositioning
The threads are gently engaged to lift the tissue into its new position, and the ends are trimmed invisibly below the skin.
How Absorbable Threads Work
We use biocompatible threads equipped with microscopic barbs or cones. Once inserted, these engage with the deep tissue to hold it in an elevated position. Over 6 to 9 months, the threads dissolve safely into the body.
Neocollagenesis
The true long-term benefit of a thread lift is biological. The presence of the thread triggers a precise healing response, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin along the thread's pathway, which maintains the lifted effect even after the thread has dissolved.
Treatment Details
While less invasive than surgery, it is a medical procedure requiring careful technique and aftercare.
Anaesthesia
Local Anaesthesia
Duration
45 to 60 Minutes
Recovery
3 to 5 days of minor swelling; taking care to avoid extreme facial expressions or pressure
Results
Immediate lifting, with skin quality improving over 2-3 months as collagen builds
What to Expect
Immediate
The lift is visible right away. You may experience some swelling, mild bruising, and a tight sensation.
First Week
Minor skin puckering or dimpling at the insertion sites is normal and usually resolves quickly. Avoid opening the mouth wide.
Weeks 2 to 4
The tissues settle into a more natural position, and the tight sensation subsides as the threads soften.
Months 3 to 18
New collagen forms, improving skin firmness and texture. The lifting effect typically lasts 12 to 18 months.
