“Thread lifts are one of my favourite treatments for patients looking for a natural yet noticeable lift without surgery. At Dr Leah Clinics, we use only premium-quality threads and a highly skilled medical team to deliver results that rejuvenate the face while maintaining a subtle, elegant finish.”
— Dr Leah Totton, Medical Director, Dr Leah Clinics
 



How Does a Thread Lift Work?

A thread lift treatment uses fine, dissolvable threads made of biocompatible material. These threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using a thin needle or cannula. Once in place, they act like a supportive scaffold, lifting the skin and repositioning it for a more youthful contour.

Over the following weeks, the threads gradually dissolve, but their presence stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. This means your results continue to improve as your skin becomes firmer and more resilient.

At Dr Leah Clinics, our London team is known for delivering some of the best thread lift treatments in the UK. We use advanced techniques and premium threads to ensure both safety and exceptional outcomes.

What are the Benefits of a thread lift?

A thread lift treatment offers a wide range of benefits for those seeking to improve their facial contours and reduce the signs of ageing:

  • Immediate lifting effect: You will see visible results straight after your treatment.

  • Collagen stimulation: The threads stimulate your skin's natural collagen production, improving firmness and elasticity over time.

  • Non-surgical facelift: Unlike traditional facelifts, a threading face lift does not require incisions or general anaesthetic.

  • Minimal downtime: Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 days.

  • Natural results: The lifting effect is subtle and enhances your natural features.

  • Customisable: Treatments can be tailored to address specific areas of concern, such as the mid-face, jawline, or neck.

Terri Parish, 65
Ok so I'm 54 and have never had anything done to my face. I have wanted to but have never wanted to look "done"! However after meeting the lovely Dr Leah, for my consultation I changed my mind. Why you might ask? Because I trusted her implicitly. She is very professional and wants you to look "naturally" good. I had silhouette soft (facial thr...

How does a thread lift with Dr Leah Clinics work?

Threadlifts work in two ways

They give an immediate result by mechanically lift your face by stitches being placed under the skin to reposition your existing tissue to where it was several years before. They stimulate collagen and elastin which improves skin quality and provides rejuvenation and tightening and long-term ageing prevention (results of collagen production are visible by three months)

What areas can be treated with a thread lift?

Thread lifts can dramatically lift and rejuvenate the chin, jowls, mid-face and neck however depending on the degree of laxity in the neck additional combination treatments are often required. Additionally, some areas of the body can be lifted with threads including sagging under-arms.

What age is best for a thread lift?

Patients are typically aged between 45 to 65 years. The average age of a thread lift client at Dr Leah Clinic in our most recent audit was 51.

Does a thread lift hurt?

No – before the thread lift procedure begins, your Dr Leah clinician will inject a local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area and prevent pain.

What is the downtime and care instructions after treatment?

At your consultation with Dr Leah Clinic your doctor will discuss in depth the aftercare which you will have to follow after your procedure. Any movement in the treated areas will decrease the overall results of the thread lifting and so it is important to avoid exercise for 7-14 days aside from gentle walks. You will also need to sleep on your back for 5 nights. You are likely to have obvious marks on the face for around 5 days after the treatment so we advise you may want to avoid social activities during this period.

Which Dr Leah Clinics provide the treatment?

Thread lift treatments are performed at either our Baker Street clinic or our Loughton clinic
