This is how thread lifting works
Thin threads (meso threads) made of biodegradable material tighten the tissue and stimulate the production of collagen. Unlike conventional lifting, there are no scars!
The very fine PDO threads are pulled under the skin under local anesthesia. These provide support for the tissue and lead to increased collagen production in the affected areas. This results in a double lifting effect! The PDO threads are completely degraded after about 6 to 8 months, so there is no risk of slippage or rejection.

Frequently asked questions about thread lifting
How long does the treatment with thread lifting take?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the area treated and the number of threads. Usually, however, the duration of a session does not exceed about 30 minutes.
Is thread lifting painful?
The extent to which the thread lift hurts is also related to the patient's personal perception of pain. As a rule, thread lifting is perceived as painless.
The PDO threads are pulled in under local anesthesia. However, due to the small diameter of the needle and thread (about like an acupuncture needle), there is no need to worry about pain afterwards!
When can the usual lifestyle be resumed?
The usual lifestyle can be resumed immediately due to the low invasiveness of the treatment. Possible minor irritations of the skin surface disappear after a few hours.
Are there complications or risks with thread lifting?
Thread lifting does not cause any scars, no irritation of the skin. The threads are completely degraded after 6-8 months, so there can be no rejection.
As PDO lifting is a (minimally) invasive treatment, there are general risks, such as wound healing problems, bruising and mild local pain. Usually these thread lift problems are minimal.
How long does the effect of thread lifting last?
The first results are already visible immediately after the treatment. The tightening effect, which is due to the increased collagen production of the skin, reaches its peak after about one month. After 12 to 18 months, the treatment can be performed again.
For which parts of the body can thread lifting be used?
Thread lifting is used for lifting the cheeks, for defining the cheekbone, for the chin line, lifting and narrowing the bridge of the nose, lifting the eyebrows, repairing small wrinkles, opening the nasal fold, for the double chin, hands, neck, inner thighs and arms.
How much does the Thread Lift treatment cost?
The cost of a thread lift is very limited compared to the cost of a facelift. The price for a thread lift depends on factors such as the location, the skin structure and the number of threads used. Therefore, information about the treatment costs can only be given after a personal consultation. We ask for your understanding.
