Service Guide
French Thread Lift (Polycaprolactone Method)
From around their 40s, both women and men begin to notice sagging facial tissue and a loss of radiance. Ageing affects every layer, not just the skin: bone, muscle, fat, skin and the ligaments that hold these layers in place all change, and gravity makes these changes visible as sagging.
The thread lift is a minimally invasive method performed quickly under local anaesthetic only, creating a lifting effect without leaving scars. It aims to reposition displaced tissue without altering facial expression. Because it can be done in a clinic setting, heals quickly and needs no hospital stay, it is a popular choice for people who do not want surgery.
The method uses dissolvable monofilament threads containing polycaprolactone. Their tiny, almost invisible barbs, resembling a fishbone, grip the soft tissue once placed under the skin and form a supportive structure. The threads dissolve in the fat beneath the skin within 12–15 months, while their lifting and revitalising effect continues for longer.
The threads can be used to support the cheekbone area, soften wrinkles on the cheeks and chin, lift the brows, tighten the neck and double chin, and refine the jawline and facial oval.
The procedure takes 30–60 minutes depending on the size of the area, and you remain awake throughout. Results can last 2–5 years, depending on factors such as age, lifestyle, diet, smoking, sleep, genetics and stress.
The French thread lift can be used for:
- Supporting the cheekbone area
- Wrinkles on the cheeks and chin
- Brow lifting
- Tightening the neck and double chin
- Refining the jawline and facial oval
