The 3rd Generation TGA-Approved Threads.

Threadlift is a non-surgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia. It uses biocompatible threads with multidirectional cones, which is designed to support facial tissue and aims to enhance lift and firmness. Recovery varies depending on individual factors. Thread lift procedures are available with Dr Mike at our clinics in Sydney, Melbourne, and Queensland.

Threads interact with underlying tissue to provide structural support. Some threads are absorbable and gradually dissolve, while others offer longer-term support. Dr Mike tailors the treatment based on individual facial structure, desired outcomes, and clinical assessment.

Post-treatment effects vary; temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur. Follow-up consultations ensure ongoing monitoring and guidance. Treatment outcomes vary depending on individual anatomy, tissue characteristics, and the clinical plan established during consultation. The goal is to help patients understand the procedure, make informed decisions, and determine whether a thread lift aligns with their aesthetic goals.

1) Medical clinic environment (not a beauty setting)

Géniale is a medical and cosmetic clinic. This matters because thread lifting requires appropriate clinical standards, infection control, documentation, and follow-up.

2) Experienced, medically led assessment

A thread lift is not suitable for everyone. Your consultation with Dr Mike focuses on:

• Your facial anatomy and degree of laxity
• Skin quality and treatment goals
• Medical history and suitability
• Whether threads are appropriate or whether other options may be more suitable

3) Individualised treatment planning (face-first, not product-first)

We plan treatment based on the areas that concern you and what is clinically appropriate. Depending on your needs, planning may consider:

• Mid-face support
• Lower-face and jawline definition
• Skin quality and collagen support
• Staged treatment vs a single session

4) How are your expectations reached?

We provide clear information about expected outcomes, limitations, recovery, and potential risks. Results vary and depend on individual factors.

5) What is the structured aftercare and follow-up?

Aftercare is important for comfort, healing, and risk reduction. We provide post-procedure guidance and follow-up appropriate to your treatment plan.

Your consultation is designed to confirm suitability and align expectations. We will:

• Discuss your goals and medical history
• Assess facial structure and skin quality
• Explain the procedure, recovery, and aftercare
• Discuss potential risks and alternatives
• Provide a personalised plan and next steps

Suitability is determined by Dr Mike based on facial anatomy, medical history, and individual considerations. Not all patients are candidates. A thorough consultation evaluates health factors, skin and tissue condition, and personal goals. Some patients may be advised to consider alternative treatments if threads are not clinically appropriate.

Dr Mike inserts medical threads under local anesthesia at selected points in the facial tissue. Thread type and placement are determined clinically. Patients are monitored throughout, and the procedure is tailored to individual needs.

Side effects may include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at thread sites. More significant complications are uncommon but may occur. All potential risks are discussed during consultation with Dr Mike.

The procedure typically last 90 minutes depending on treatment complexity. Duration is influenced by the number of threads and areas treated. Dr Mike provides a clear outline during consultation.

Some patients may benefit from additional sessions, while others do not. The need for follow-up treatments is assessed individually by Dr Mike based on clinical findings.

Dr Mike provides detailed post-procedure guidance. Patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness. Instructions focus on minimising irritation and supporting the healing process.
