How thread lift works

How does a Face Thread Lift work?

A Face Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable threads, inserted beneath the skin, to provide subtle support to areas affected by mild to moderate skin laxity. Depending on your individual anatomy and treatment goals, threads may be placed in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, brows or neck.

The treatment works in two ways. Firstly, the carefully placed threads provide immediate structural support to reposition and support the surrounding soft tissues. Some thread types also feature small barbs or cones that help anchor the threads within the tissue.

Secondly, the insertion of the threads stimulates the body’s natural healing response. As the threads gradually dissolve over time, collagen production may be encouraged around the treated area. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that helps maintain skin firmness, structure and elasticity.

Results vary from person to person and depend on factors such as age, skin quality and individual healing. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess whether a Face Thread Lift is suitable for your concerns and discuss the results you may reasonably expect.

How do I prepare for a Face Thread Lift?

Before your Face Thread Lift, Dr Mike will review your medical history and discuss whether the procedure is appropriate for you. To help prepare for treatment, you may be advised to:

  • Tell your practitioner about all medications, vitamins and herbal supplements you are taking.
  • Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment, unless otherwise advised.
  • Discuss any blood-thinning medications, including aspirin, with your prescribing doctor before stopping them. Do not stop prescribed medications unless advised by your healthcare provider.
  • Avoid smoking before and after the procedure where possible, as smoking may affect healing.
  • Arrive with clean skin and without makeup on the treatment area, if instructed.

What is a Face Thread Lift?

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 Géniale clinics in Sydney, Melbourne, and Gold Coast.

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.

Why patients choose Geniale

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.

What to expect at your consultation?

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

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.

Are there any risks or side effects?

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.

How long will the procedure take?

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.

Will I need more than one session?

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.

What should I do after the procedure?

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.
