Everything You Need To Know About Threadlifts

A traditional face lift is an invasive surgery that costs thousands, and can take a good few weeks to recover from.

But what if we told you there were a way to get similar results for a fraction of the cost and minimal down time?

Rumoured to count celebrities like Kim Kardashian, J. Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow as fans, the 'thread lift' is one of the most effective forms of non-surgical face lifts you can get.

We spoke to Dr. Josh Wall, medical director of Contour Clinics to tell us everything we need to know about the thread lift.

What is a thread lift?

The name of the procedure makes it sound almost medieval, but the technology behind it is advanced.

Dr Josh describes a threadlift as: "A form of non-surgical face lift that uses suture-like material to raise sagging facial features. This procedure causes an intensive collagen stimulating process around the threads, which causes a lifting and tightening effect to the area treated. The suture material itself will dissolve over the next 3-6 months."

Is the procedure painful?

A huge downside of the traditional face lift is the high level of pain associated with it. As for the thread lift, Dr Josh says, "most people tolerate the procedure well, with mild discomfort, rather than pain."

How long do the results of a thread lift last?

All good things must come to an end, and unfortunately thread lift results aren't permanent. Dr Josh says you can expect results to last "12-18 months, depending on the threads used."

Who is the ideal candidate for a thread lift?

Dr. Josh says you could look into a thread lift if you have "mild sagging of facial features including: mild-moderate nasolabial folds, mild jowling, and mild brow heaviness."

How long does the procedure take?

Because the procedure is non-invasive, it is quite quick. Dr Josh says that "in my hands, the procedure takes 10-20 minutes depending on the number of threads."

Is there any downtime?

The downtime for this procedure is very minimal, and Dr Josh says recovery time will vary. "Some people leave the clinic with no evidence of any procedure being done. Others, have mild to moderate facial swelling that resolves in 1-2 days."

How much does a thread lift cost?

"Depending on the number of threads and the area treated, prices vary from $1400 for a brow lift, and $4200 for a full non-surgical face-lift."

I’ve heard of this from a friend and definitely won’t be giving it a go.

clearcrystalwater 11 Jun 2020 7:51 PM

Snailor 11 Mar 2020 6:35 PM

That actually looks incredible!

perthchick 24 Feb 2020 7:06 PM

No wonder celebreties get it. Us mortals can't afford it.

Chicklet 14 Feb 2020 10:30 PM

I’m both interested and a little scared of this!

I learned a lot from this article! !! At the same time, I heard that the radio frequency has a good effect on lifting and wrinkling the skin. I wonder if this is really the case? I see a lot of knowledge about radio frenquency in this blog, and share it with everyone.

Meedee 25 Nov 2019 12:40 PM

WOW......Thats how much I would spend on a car and I would be hoping that the car would last longer then 18mths. Too expensive for me im afraid.

Paul481 25 Nov 2019 9:01 AM

Not for me as age is beauty

Claire88 24 Nov 2019 11:25 PM

It’s not for me, but the results look impressive.

onlyoni 24 Nov 2019 9:34 PM

Nah, I wouldn't have it done even though it looks impressive.

AndreaD 24 Nov 2019 8:19 PM

The side by side photo is really quite impressive. But for over $4K for 12-18 months, the upkeep of this really, really expensive.

Sootyhere 17 Jan 2021 5:42 PM

Absolutely, too expensive.

Ellelily 24 Nov 2019 7:19 PM

No not for me I am growing old the natural way

cityglenda 24 Nov 2019 10:15 AM

I had thought about this procedure a few years ago. Now that I have read the $$$ unless I win Lotto it's not going to happen.

Beautybabe140194 23 Nov 2019 9:44 PM

The results are impressive but I probably would not get this done. Really expensive too.

Kassalee 23 Nov 2019 7:34 PM

I'm sure that's not "everything I need to know" in a one page article but at least price is mentioned. Long term effects? Guess we are yet to find out that.

Karma Llama 23 Nov 2019 6:54 PM

Not sure I'd try this but good to know its an option.
