Thread Face Lift
What is a Thread Lift?
Thread lifting, otherwise known as a ‘non-surgical facelift’ is fast becoming a preferred treatment by our patients due to its effectiveness and non-invasive nature.
If you have a slight sagging of the skin (for example around the jowl area) and would like a more lifted appearance then this treatment gives you all the benefits of a facelift without the risk of surgery. The threads that we use here at the clinic are known as PDO (polydioxanone) threads. These threads are a suture like material that are carefully placed into the skin to lift the face, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and tightening the skin.
Please see below some before and after photos of our patients and also some frequently asked questions.

Thread Lift Before & After
Thread Face Lift FAQs
What can I expect on the day of my thread lift?
You will be treated by Dr Bob Khanna himself.
Before your treatment, any make up will be removed and we will cleanse the area. We use a topical and a local anaesthetic on the treatment area to minimise any discomfort (which is minimal anyway). The product is placed using a cannula which helps to keep swelling and bruising to a minimum.
The treatment itself can take up to 30-45 minutes depending on what area is being treated (whole face, neck, etc).
How long until I see results?
The beauty of this non-surgical procedure is that the effects are noticeable immediately after the procedure. Although the treatment itself is non-permanent, it's definitely long-lasting and comes with very little downtime.
How long does a thread lift last?
The threads themselves will stay in the skin for up to 6 months. However, the lifting effect that comes with threads is actually longer lasting, as the threads encourage the tissues in your face to produce new collagen, which can last for up to 2 years.
Are there any side effects of a thread face lift?
Most reactions are generally minimal and temporary. You should expect some swelling and you may have some slight bruising following the treatment however these reactions are expected to settle down within a couple of days. Most of our patients have little to no reactions following the treatment.
If you are concerned or feel you are having a reaction please do not hesitate to contact us or your GP.
What do I need to do after my thread face lift?
As with all facial aesthetic treatment, we advise you to avoid the following for up to 2 weeks;
- Beauty treatments (such as facials, facial massages etc)
- Saunas (and other extreme temperatures)
You will be invited to attend a review appointment 3 weeks later for any adjusting that may be necessary.
How do I know if a thread face lift is right for me?
