What does the treatment involve?

The procedure involves implanting biodegradable, absorbable and nonallergenic medical "sutures", otherwise known as threads, into the skin.

The procedure is minimally invasive. Clients are given a local anaesthetic before treatment to ensure they are comfortable and relaxed throughout.

Are there any side effects?

The side effects are minimal - you might experience some swelling or bruising that lasts for a few days, but there is no downtime and the results are instantaneous.

Is the treatment safe?

No surgical procedure is without risk, but the level of risk is often down to the expertise and experience of the doctor carrying out your procedure. Thread lifts can cause minor side effects such as infection, bruising, swelling, tenderness, numbness and slight asymmetry. At VB Aesthetics, our nurse practitioners are fully trained and qualified.

What happens after the procedure?

After the procedure we will provide you with aftercare instructions to follow. Most patients experience some mild swelling and bruising, but this should settle quickly. Recovery time is usually less than one week, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2 to 3 weeks.

How long do results last?

A thread lift’s lasting power depends on the age of the patient and how much sagging the thread lift has corrected. It should be noted that sagging will return over time, but many patients report that the results last for anything between 2 and 3 years. To extend the results it is possible for additional threads to be inserted.

How much does it cost?

PDO Thread treatments start at £500, the price depends on the areas of the face and neck you wish to be treated. This will be determined at your consultation.

About the Treatment

The Thread Lift is often referred to as the ‘lunch hour lift’ or ‘non-surgical face lift’.

Thread lifts are very effective on skin that has lost volume and has some sagging or drooping and create a lift to the skin without any surgical incisions.

They are minimally invasive and carried out under a local anaesthetic. Recovery time is quick and requires no hospital stay.

Thread lifts are more affordable than surgical face lift treatments and can last between 1 – 2 years.

The threads are made from PDO (polydioxanone), the same material used in surgical stitches. These once inserted cause the body to produce collagen around these threads, creating a meshwork leading to a subtle and effective lift to the skin, giving a rejuvenated and refreshed look.

Suitable for various areas of the face including cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline and neck.

Before any treatment can be suggested, you will require a consultation to ascertain your concerns, medical history and suitable treatments.

Definisse™ 3D Lift Threads

Lift, reshape and stimulate volume with a non-surgical rejuvenating treatment for your facial contours.

Definisse™ 3D Lift Threads are the latest technique for facial rejuvenation.  They are designed to sculpt beautifully soft contours, prominent cheekbones, and youthful jawlines. Our threads treatments are quick and minimally invasive, repositioning volume and adding definition where it matters most.

Wrinkles and fine lines: a first sign of aging due to loss of elasticity and a decrease in collagen. Definisse™ 3D lift threads tighten skin and stimulate collagen production to erase wrinkles and fine lines.
Loss of volume: a hollowed-out appearance can occur due to loss of fat, muscle mass and also bone reabsorption. Our threads reposition tissue to fill out hollowed areas.
Change in facial contours: less defined facial contours (for example in the jawline) due to thinning skin, weaker facial muscles and ligaments which give the skin a sagging appearance. Definisse™ 3D lift threads lift and reshape creating younger looking contours.

Definisse™ Revitalise Threads

Activate beauty from within, regenerating your skin from the inside out.

Definisse™ revitalise threads are the next generation of threads designed specifically for bio-stimulation and revitalisation. They promote long-lasting regeneration, added firmness and improved skin quality with a lasting glow - in both young and mature skin.
These threads smooth and firm the skin by stimulating both Collagen Type 1 and 3 production. Skin elasticity and hydration are increased resulting in a boost in overall skin quality. You will notice a difference in both texture and appearance.

Rejuvenation threads are a regenerative treatment that stimulate the skin to produce elastin and collagen - the molecules that keep our skin young-looking. Skin appears smoother and fine lines are reduced, refreshing not just how you look but also how you feel.
Definisse™ revitalise threads improve skin quality by retaining and increasing collagen production, and in doing so, slow down the aging process. Whether you’re young and want to maintain your youthful glow, or more mature and want to gain it back, Definisse™ revitalise threads are for you.
Definisse™ revitalise threads stimulate both Collagen Type 1 and Type 3 over a longer time period (up to 18 months) than PDO and PLLA threads (which only stimulate Collagen Type 13) and only last for around 6 months.
