About Threads

Thread lifts provide a subtle, non-surgical option to lift and tighten sagging skin for a refreshed, youthful appearance. Skilled professionals place fine, dissolvable threads under the skin to support facial structure and encourage collagen production, with little downtime needed. Perfect for those wanting a natural lift without invasive surgery, this gentle treatment tackles early signs of ageing effectively.

How it Works

Thread lifts gently lift sagging skin and smooth early wrinkles for a natural, refreshed look. The threads work beneath the surface to reposition tissue, giving a soft, youthful finish that keeps your features authentic and balanced.

This minimally invasive treatment uses threads inserted in a quick procedure, often under an hour, with no need for extensive recovery. You can return to most daily activities soon after, making it a convenient choice for a busy lifestyle.

Thread lifts not only lift but also stimulate collagen, helping to slow future sagging and wrinkling. By supporting skin structure early, this treatment maintains a firmer, smoother appearance over time, delaying deeper signs of ageing.

Dissolvable threads under the skin using a needle or cannula, lifting and supporting sagging areas. Local anaesthetic is applied for comfort, and the process takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Results are visible immediately.

Avoid alcohol and blood thinning medications or supplements, like aspirin, for 48 hours beforehand to reduce bruising. Arrive with clean skin and inform Dr Jing of any medical conditions or recent treatments.

Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur at the insertion points, usually fading within a week. Rarely, slight puckering or thread visibility might happen, but these typically resolve or can be adjusted.

It’s generally safe to repeat the procedure after 6 months but this varies by individual and thread type.
