Threads are placed just below the skin’s outer layers in the area being treated. By carefully inserting and tugging on the threads, we elevate your skin for a smoother and more toned facial complexion. Once they’re in place, the absorbable threads continue to stimulate collagen production, creating a lasting lifting effect.

This procedure takes approximately 1 hour

Thread lift procedures are an effective option for those seeking to improve their appearance and reduce the signs of ageing — whether it's wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin or early jowls.

Thread lifting is also an ideal solution for those with underlying health issues that may prevent them from undergoing a more invasive cosmetic procedure. This innovative treatment allows individuals with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease to enjoy the same anti-ageing effects of a facelift without taking major risks.

At your appointment, you will have an in-depth consultation with one of our practitioners who will assess your face and come up with a treatment plan best suited to meet your aesthetic goals.

We will take some ‘before’ photos, clean the area to be treated and apply a local anaesthetic cream to make the treatment more comfortable, where necessary.

A small cannula or needle will be used to place lifting threads underneath the skin. This can cause some mild discomfort; however, this is tolerated well by most patients.

Some swelling, bruising and tenderness may occur immediately after your thread lift treatment.

To achieve the desired results, the number of threads you need depends on the area being treated in totality. Prices start from $2000, with the cost of thread lifting dependent on the area being lifted and the number of threads used to achieve the desired results.

There is no downtime, and you can resume regular activities immediately.

While downtime is minimal directly after the procedure, your face may still feel tender, especially if the treatment was performed around your lower jaw. If it’s uncomfortable opening and closing your mouth, we recommend eating soft foods at this time.

You must also remember not to wear make-up for the next 24 hours and avoid any strenuous activities for a few days.

If you see any bruising, swelling or skin dimpling in the first week after your thread lifting, don’t be alarmed — this is normal and will subside after a few more days. If it persists, do not hesitate to contact our team or your primary care physician.

Dr David Ong and the team at Studio Aesthetica will be on hand to provide the necessary aftercare instructions for every cosmetic procedure we offer at our Sydney clinic. Following these carefully crafted guidelines guarantees you a beautiful outcome that will last.

While you can expect immediate results in your skin’s texture and shape, this will continue to improve over 6 weeks to 6 months — some patients can enjoy their results from 1 to 3 years!

Additionally, once the effect wears off, you can return and have the procedure again to continually compound the advantages of collagen stimulation that thread lifts offer.
