What is Non-Surgical Thread Lift?
A thread lift uses fine, dissolvable medical threads – usually made of PDO (polydioxanone) or PLLA – that are placed under the skin with a thin needle or cannula. Barbed (cog) threads hold and reposition sagging tissue, giving an immediate lift.
Over the following months the threads dissolve naturally, while stimulating collagen around them so the skin stays firmer even after the threads are absorbed. Smooth (mono) threads can also be used to improve skin quality and fine lines.
A thread lift suits people with mild to moderate sagging who want visible lifting without surgery. Dr. Tarunveer may combine threads with fillers, Botox or HIFU for balanced facial rejuvenation.

How the Treatment Works
Consultation & planning
Dr. Tarunveer assesses sagging and marks the lifting directions (vectors) best suited to your face.
Local anaesthesia
The entry points and thread paths are numbed with local anaesthetic.
Thread insertion
Threads are placed under the skin with a fine needle or cannula and gently tightened to lift the tissue.
Review
A follow-up at about 2 weeks checks the result and healing.
Results & Number of Sessions
The lift is visible immediately and settles over 1–2 weeks as swelling resolves. Collagen production continues for several months after the procedure.
Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the type of thread, your age and skin quality. Combining threads with HIFU or fillers can extend and enhance the result.
Aftercare
- Avoid wide mouth opening, chewing hard foods and dental work for 1–2 weeks
- Sleep on your back with your head raised for a few nights
- Avoid facial massage, facials and heavy exercise for 2–3 weeks
- Mild swelling, bruising or tightness settles within a few days
- Take any prescribed medicines as advised
Is Non-Surgical Thread Lift Safe?
Thread lifts are minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthesia. Swelling, bruising, mild pain and small skin dimples are common early on and settle within days to weeks. Rarely, a thread may become visible or need adjustment or removal, or an infection may occur – sterile technique and careful placement minimise these risks.
Please tell the doctor before treatment if you have:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active skin infection
- Bleeding disorders or blood thinners (discuss with the doctor)
- Very heavy, severely sagging skin (surgery may be more suitable)
- Autoimmune conditions (discuss with the doctor)
