Thread lift

A thread lift is an effective way to lift sagging skin on the face and neck – without any of the downtime a surgical facelift would require.


Dr Leah Clinics is one of Britain's leading providers of thread lifts. We are led by Dr Leah Totton, who is the renowned ‘Best Thread Lift Doctor’ in the UK and also the winner of the prestigious Silhouette Soft® Thread Lift Excellence Award, as well as 'Best Transformation' for a thread lift in 2023 with the Safety In Beauty Awards.


Individual thread lift results may vary, and we cannot guarantee specific outcomes as they are influenced by various factors unique to each person.

What is a thread lift?

A thread lift is a non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift, designed to lift and rejuvenate sagging skin using fine, dissolvable threads. Often referred to as a 'facial threading lift' or 'thread face lift', this treatment provides a subtle but noticeable lifting effect without the downtime or invasiveness of surgery. At Dr Leah Clinics, our award-winning doctors perform threads with precision and artistry, ensuring natural-looking results.


Our thread lift treatments are perfect for clients who are beginning to notice the early signs of ageing such as mild to moderate skin laxity, sagging cheeks / jowls, or reduced jawline definition. Thread lifts enable you to refresh your appearance and restore your youthful contours without going under the knife.

Thread lift: before and after

"Thread lifts are among my treatments for who are for a natural yet lift surgery. At Dr Leah Clinics, we have a highly skilled medical team who use only threads to results that rejuvenate the face while maintaining a subtle, finish."


– Dr Leah Totton, Medical Director of Dr Leah Clinics


 


 

How do thread lifts work?

A thread lift treatment uses fine, dissolvable threads made of biocompatible material. These threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using a thin needle or cannula. Once in place, they act like a supportive scaffold, lifting the skin and repositioning it for a more youthful contour.


Over the following weeks, the threads gradually dissolve, but their presence stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. This means your results continue to improve as your skin becomes firmer and more resilient.


At Dr Leah Clinics, our London team is known for delivering some of the best thread lift treatments in the UK. We use advanced techniques and premium threads to ensure both safety and exceptional outcomes.


 

Thread lift benefits

A thread lift treatment offers a wide range of benefits for those seeking to improve their facial contours and reduce the signs of ageing:


Immediate lifting effect. You will see visible results straight after your treatment.


Collagen stimulation. The threads stimulate your skin's natural collagen production, improving firmness and elasticity over time.


Non-surgical facelift. Unlike traditional facelifts, a threading face lift does not require incisions or general anaesthetic.


Minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 days.


Natural results. The lifting effect is subtle and enhances your natural features.


Customisable. Treatments can be tailored to address specific areas of concern, such as the mid-face, jawline, or neck.

Are Threads suitable for a neck lift?

If you are looking for treatment for laxity in your neck causing sagging neck skin, or excess fat causing a double chin a thread lift is not the most effective treatment. Instead at Dr Leah Clinics we recommend a treatment call  that can treat double chin, jowls or neck laxity more effectively than a thread lift. 

What areas can be treated with a thread lift?

Thread lifts are highly versatile and can treat multiple areas of the face and neck. Common treatment areas include...


Cheeks: To lift sagging cheeks and restore volume.


Neck: To reduce loose or sagging skin under the chin.


Eyebrows: To achieve a subtle brow lift.


Nasolabial folds: To smooth the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.


Our doctors specialise in tailoring thread lift treatments to your unique facial structure, ensuring that your results look natural and balanced.
