    Soft Thread Lift

    111 Harley St. are rated an average of 5 out of 5 based on 1376 reviews

    Administered by our globally-experienced Aesthetic Doctor and exceptionally-talented Aesthetic Nurse, a Soft Thread Lift is a minimally-invasive treatment that reduces the appearance of mild to moderate wrinkles and jowls, and can significantly lift sagging skin.

    A Soft Thread Lift works using a range of bio-compatible fibres consisting of polymers which are chains of molecules or materials. They are often made of polylactic acid or polydioxanone (depending on the type of thread you choose).

    While a Thread Lift can help to give you an immediate tightening effect, the true result will be seen in the months following the treatment, when the polymers are gradually broken down by the body and you’ll see an improvement in skin quality and increase in collagen production.

    This is often a less invasive option to a Facelift, however it should not be seen as an alternative to a Facelift as the results of a Facelift are unparallelled compared to a Soft Thread Lift. So, think of a Soft Thread Lift as an introductory treatment, one that may highlight the more natural effects of face lifting treatments and procedures.

    A thread face lift is a non-surgical injectable procedure that can reshape and contour lax, ageing skin. It works by introducing threads under the epidermis to subtly elevate areas that have been affected by laxity. The procedure is suitable for the jawline and neck and can also reshape the brow and eye area for the coveted ‘cat-eye’ look or mimic the effect of a surgical brow lift.

    Our PDO thread lift ours helps to establish youth in three areas of the face (known as the ‘triangle of youth’), and typically works to restore high cheekbones, fuller cheek volume and a well-defined jawline. As when we age, these three signifiers of vitality can change and diminish in prominence, where you may experience sagging, flattened cheeks, visible nasolabial folds and jowling.

    Each thread lifting procedure at 111 Harley St. is unique because of our talented Aesthetic Nurses and Doctors – where you’ll be treated by their exceptional expertise.

    Our Aesthetic Doctor, who has been appointed by Dr Yannis himself, is a specialist in facial rejuvenation and can help you defy the signs of gravity using injectables only. With this treatment, you’ll notice an instant lift and contoured effect almost immediately. Our Injectable Doctor’s immense skills in Advanced Facial Rejuvenation and non-surgical enhancements, means they not only incorporate your face’s unique ratio and symmetry into consideration, but also apply the mathematics of aesthetics and beauty to optimise your features. Plus, this combined with the power of thread lifts provides a dual effect – one that provides gradual, and sustained, tissue regeneration and collagen production to encourage the ageless skin of your dreams.

    The results? Rejuvenated skin that keeps firming for up to a year afterwards.

    Other areas this treatment can target are nasolabial folds, glabellar lines (frown lines), melomental folds (known as ‘marionette lines’) and the eye area. This makes it an ideal treatment for anyone looking to reduce the signs of atrophy that contribute to an aged or gaunt-looking complexion.

    The results can be immensely refreshing and youth-boosting.

    The Spider Web Buttocks Lift

    A Soft Thread Lift can also be performed to give a non-surgical BBL-like result. Known as the Spider Web Buttocks Lift, this is a unique injectable technique that places the threads in the shape of a spider’s web to give volume into the centre of the desired area (the centre of the web) that looks natural and gradually fans outwards.

    Why Choose A Soft Thread Lift?

    A Soft Thread Lift act as an amazing non-surgical alternative to a facelift and can dramatically reverse the signs of senescence without undergoing surgery. Senescence is the natural biological process of ageing and a soft thread lift can act as the highly effective means of re-establishing a tighter jawline, eye area and neckline. It’s an anti-ageing treatment that instantly enhances and offers gradual regeneration.

    Another reason you should choose Soft Thread Lifts is because each thread has a dual effect. The first: an immediate lift, the second: collagen stimulation that is effortlessly delivered thanks to the thread’s patented cone technology. So, not only does it have a double-action aftereffect, but it’s innovative bio-cones (made from polylactic acid,) are packed with anti-ageing actives that when gradually dissolved, will elicit a healthy and vibrant glow – alongside its main re-contouring improvements.

    During a mid-face lifting procedure, you can expect either our Aesthetic Doctor or Nurse to gently make an ultra-fine entry hole using a needle in the side of the face. Once this entry hole has been made, they will delicately insert the thread using a cannula (which acts as the thread’s protective case). When the thread is correctly positioned, your practitioner will swiftly remove the cannula and expertly leave the thread in place in the skin. They will then continue to the other side of the face ­– or wherever your desired treatment area is – until the rejuvenation is complete (often this takes around 30-45 minutes).

    Soft Thread Lift FAQ’s

    The silhouette soft thread lift is a minimally invasive alternative to a facelift that can redefine the jawlines and reduce jowls, lift and shape the brow and eyebrow and eye area and restore the shape of the face.

    At 111 Harley St., our highly-experienced, qualified and certified Doctors or nurses will perform your procedure.

    The process begins with a thorough consultation, where we will discuss your aesthetic concerns and devise a unique thread-lift plan. The soft thread lift requires a local anaesthesia which allows for a faster recovery time and carries less risks than general anaesthesia. We carry out the operation in our own Harley St. theatre, which offers convenience and has the highest standards of hygiene and patient safety.

    Temporary markings will indicate the lifting direction and entrance site of the threads.

    Bio directional PDO threads are the first threads that we use and insert through a cannula or micro-needle. Following this, we may also use uni-directional threads to treat the neck, jawline, marionette and nasolabial folds. They are beneficial for creating a more natural contouring effect. The nurse or Doctor will then remove the cannula, and the threads remain in place.

    A soft thread lift is an ideal treatment for those that are looking for a longer-lasting alternative to Botox and fillers, and a less invasive solution to a facelift. Botox and fillers can treat fine lines and sagging and mildly lift the skin to a certain extent. However, for those that are starting to see early signs of mild to moderate jowling, deepening of the nasolabial lines, or loss of support in the cheeks, a soft thread lift may be the best form of treatment.

    The thread will form a semi-permanent support structure for the face with the lifting effect at a peak around six months later. The results last approximately 18 months but vary from patient to patient.

    The procedure usually takes around 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area and the number of threads.

    The side effects and risks will vary from patient to patient, but you might expect to see a degree of redness, bruising and swelling. There’s also the possible risk of infection, asymmetry, and the threads moving, or being felt or visible under the skin. More unlikely risks include nerve injury or scarring.

    An ageing face can manifest itself in several ways; sagging, wrinkles, loss of volume are some indications we might expect to see. The elasticity and collagen depletion can change the shape of the face and its support structure. Some of the earlier signs (after changes in skin texture) are lower facial sagging, premature jowls and brow ptosis.

    A soft thread lift will introduce PDO threads through a cannula. The skin grips to the barbs or cones on the thread. The biodegradable threads form a support structure that work to lift, contour and tighten sagging skin through stimulating the body’s natural regenerative process.

    By provoking the body’s natural healing response, the procedure promotes the growth of new collagen which surround the filaments, giving the skin a rejuvenated appearance, that progressively enhances over a year.

    You can return to normality immediately after the procedure. You may feeling a little sore and tender after the procedure, and may experience bruising and redness which should subside within a week.
