Common thread types include PDO (polydioxanone) in smooth, twisted, and barbed (COG) variants, PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid), and PCL (polycaprolactone). PDO threads dissolve in 6-9 months but stimulate collagen for longer-lasting results. PLLA and PCL threads last longer (12-24 months).

The immediate lifting effect from barbed threads is visible right away and improves over 2-4 weeks as swelling resolves. Results typically last 12-18 months as the threads dissolve and collagen remodels. Some patients see benefits for up to 2 years.

Local anaesthesia is applied before the procedure, so the insertion process is not painful. You may feel pressure or tugging sensations. Post-procedure soreness and tightness last 1-2 weeks. Most patients manage with over-the-counter painkillers.

Expect 3-7 days of swelling and possible bruising. Some patients have mild dimpling at insertion points that resolves within 1-2 weeks. Avoid extreme facial expressions, lying face-down, and vigorous exercise for 2-3 weeks.

Threadlift works best for patients with mild to moderate facial sagging who want improvement without surgery. Ideal candidates are aged 30-55 with some skin laxity in the jowls, midface, or neck. Severe sagging may require surgical options.

Yes, threadlifts are commonly combined with fillers (to add volume after lifting) and Botox (to maintain the lifted look). Some practitioners combine threadlift with skin boosters like Profhilo. Treatments should be spaced appropriately.

Common areas include: midface cheek lift, jowl lifting, jawline definition, brow lifting, nasolabial fold improvement, neck tightening, and nose lifting (non-surgical rhinoplasty). Each area requires a specific number and type of threads.

PDO threads dissolve in 6-9 months and provide a moderate collagen boost. PLLA threads (like Silhouette Soft) dissolve over 18-24 months and stimulate more collagen production over a longer period. PLLA threads tend to cost more but offer longer-lasting results.

Threadlift is generally safe when performed by experienced practitioners. Possible complications include thread migration, visible threads under thin skin, asymmetry, infection, and dimpling. These are uncommon at established clinics with experienced doctors. Choose a practitioner who performs threadlifts regularly.
