Why Neck Thread Lifting?
It’s inevitable that as we get older we start to notice sagging skin on our face, neck and body, coupled with changes in the texture and quality of our skin.
Thread lifting offers a non-surgical solution to correct these age-related changes and can achieve outstanding results with low downtime.
Common concerns that can be treated by threads for the neck are:
- Lift and tighten sagging skin under the chin, also known as the ‘double chin’.
- Lift and tighten skin to the front of the neck, reducing what is commonly called the ‘Turkey neck’.
- Improve skin texture and give an overall tightening to the neck.
- Soften the deep horizontal lines in the neck that commonly form with age.

Results
The initial lift from a thread lift is seen immediately. A secondary lift effect is achieved around 3-6 months later as the threads integrate with skin tissue and collagen forms around the threads.
Best results can take between 6 weeks and 6 months to appear and will last up to 3 years.
What to expect
Consultation
A Doctor consultation is required prior to treatment. Our Doctor will listen to your concerns, assess your degree of ageing and skin laxity, and develop a personalised treatment plan aligned with your needs and aesthetic objectives. You will also be explained the procedure in detail, we will answer any questions you may have, and give you an understanding of the potential results a thread lift could achieve for you.
During consultation, you will be advised of the thread type suitable and how many threads are required to achieve your desired results.
Procedure
The procedure is performed in our clinic and does not require any incisions or sedation. Local anaesthesia will be injected at entry/exit points and the procedure itself is typically comfortable; you should feel no pain and little discomfort.
The threads are inserted just below the dermis using a long, soft needle or cannula. The skin is gently remodelled and the threads tightened into position. The unique little cones or barbs on the threads connect with tissue and retain skin in the new compressed position. The sensation of threading is much like a standard dermal filler procedure using a micro-cannula.
A thread lifting procedure takes about 60 minutes.
Downtime and Recovery
Downtime and recovery are significantly less than traditional surgery, ranging from 2-7 days depending on the extent of your procedure and the area treated.
The most common side effects are mild swelling, bruising and tenderness, which should subside 3-5 days after treatment. Less common risks include infection and nerve damage – always make sure you see a qualified doctor experienced in the thread lifting procedure to help mitigate these risks.
