Thread lifting for youthful contours
Thread lifting is a new, non-surgical treatment that achieves a natural and immediate lifting effect by inserting specially developed threads under the skin. Depending on the type of thread selected, aesthetic effects that can be easily combined are generated. All threads used are naturally broken down in the body. During the subtraction, collagen is increasingly formed and strengthened in the subcutaneous tissue. A natural support structure is now created. The results last for 1 - 3 years, depending on the treatment concept.
In conclusion: Thread lifting is a minimally invasive treatment for optical skin rejuvenation and contour optimization.

Treatment at a Glance
After intensive joint planning and result orientation between doctor and patient, the doctor marks the areas to be treated and anaesthetizes the entry points locally. This makes the treatment almost painless. The threads are inserted into the subcutaneous fat tissue. This new gentle method leaves neither wounds nor scars. Local swelling and temporary pain may occur immediately after the procedure. These side effects subside after 1-3 days. A supportive tape bandage on the treatment areas, which can be removed after 2 days, supports the healing process.

FAQ
How many threads are needed?
The number of threads required for a thread lift varies from person to person and depends on the region to be tightened and the condition of the skin. It is advisable to discuss this with your doctor in order to achieve a satisfactory result.
Is the treatment painful?
Although a local anesthetic is applied before the treatment, the thread lift is not completely painless, but rather painless.
How often does a treatment need to be repeated?
Theoretically, the thread lift can be repeated as often as desired. However, the effect of the threads wears off after about 1 to 2 years and can then be renewed.
How long does the thread lift last?
As a rule, you can expect a stable result for about 9 months. With a higher number of PDO threads, the results can even last up to 18 months.
Is there an immediate effect?
Small successes are already visible after 24 hours, but the full result can best be assessed after about 14 days, when the threads have grown firmly into the subcutaneous fat tissue.
What are the side effects of thread lifting?
A feeling of tension in the treated area as well as swelling, bruising, indentations at the injection sites and possibly wrinkles along the threads are normal and will subside within a few days.
