At The Lime Tree Clinic, we have a variety of threads at our disposal to create the optimal lift tailored specially for your face. The threads are absorbable surgical sutures with multiple small cones or barbs along the length of the thread to produce lifting and regenerating effects

The threads have two primary actions:

A lifting action – After inserting the suture into the skin, the doctor reshapes the area by gently adjusting the tissues, allowing the small cones or barbs to hold the skin and re-suspend the skin in the desired lifted position. This will re-position the tissue volume to its original contour discreetly, resulting in an immediate lifting effect.

A regenerative action – The threads naturally stimulate the skin tissue to produce its own collagen. This continues over time to improve the texture and skin quality.

The threads are made of surgical grade suture material with the latest technology. It is bio-compatible and will naturally be absorbed over time.

All treatments carry risk, our cosmetic practitioner will assess you to see suitability. To reduce any risks as much as possible, we perform the procedure carefully and gently. We are experienced in these procedures, and this further reduce the risks.

A thread lift is considered safe when performed by a licensed and experienced cosmetic doctor. It is a minimally invasive procedure avoiding the risks and prolong down time of surgical face lifts.

Thread lifting is not suitable for someone with excessively saggy skin, very thick skin or severely aged skin. Our expert cosmetic doctor will assess your skin to determine your suitability for thread lifting.

Thread lifts takes 30-minutes for a simple procedure, but up to 2 or more hours for delicate and large area lifting. The procedure starts with a detailed assessment of your skin followed by marking the points for thread insertion and the direction of your lift according to your desired results. The face or other treatment areas are thoroughly cleansed and disinfected.

Our cosmetic doctor then inserts the suture (thread) accordingly. Depending on the lift you desire, a number of threads can be placed per area. Once the suture has been applied, the doctor will tighten and mould the tissues to achieve a smooth, desired lifting effect.

Our experienced cosmetic doctor is known for his artistic finesse and will ensure you achieve the most optimal contours.

Immediately after the treatment, you may experience slight swelling or bruising. This will resolve within 1 to 2 weeks. Most individuals will not require any pain relief after, however paracetamol can be taken if necessary. The insertion sites must be kept clean and no strenuous exercise should be performed within a week. Sun exposure should be minimised. We will closely monitor your progress and are always excited to see your ongoing progress as the skin continues to improve.
