As skin loses elasticity, it begins to sag—leading to fine lines and a less defined facial structure. Thread lift treatments use dissolvable threads to reposition and support the skin, providing an instant lift while encouraging collagen production for longer-term firmness.
A thread lift is a quick and minimally invasive procedure, typically completed within 30–60 minutes.
Before the Procedure
Your doctor will assess your skin and discuss your desired results.
The treatment area is cleaned, and a local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort.
The Thread Lift Process
Thread Insertion: Using a fine needle or cannula, the doctor inserts dissolvable threads beneath the skin.
Precise Positioning: Threads are carefully placed to lift sagging tissue and provide structural support.
Immediate Lift: The doctor adjusts the threads for the desired lifting effect.
Collagen Stimulation: Over time, the threads dissolve while stimulating collagen production, improving skin elasticity.
Aftercare and Recovery
While downtime is minimal, proper aftercare ensures the best results.
Do
Sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights
Stick to soft foods for a few days to minimize strain
Gently apply a cold compress (without pressing) to reduce swelling
Don’t
Do vigorous exercise or sauna for 2 weeks
Touch, massage, or apply pressure to the treated area for 2 weeks
Apply makeup or wash your face for at least 24 hours
Recovery Timeline
1–3 days: Most swelling and redness resolve.
1–2 weeks: Threads fully settle, and the skin begins to adjust.
4–6 weeks: Collagen production enhances results, improving skin texture and tightness.
3–6 months: Full rejuvenation effects become visible.
How Long Does a Thread Lift Last?
Results vary based on thread type, skin condition, and lifestyle, but most patients experience results lasting 12–24 months.
Risks and Side Effects
Thread lifts are generally low risk, with minor side effects like swelling, bruising, or temporary tightness being the most common. Rare complications include visible threads, dimpling, or infection, which are minimized by following aftercare guidelines and choosing an experienced practitioner, like those at KKC Clinic.
Combining Thread Lifts with Other Treatments
For enhanced results, thread lifts can be combined with other non-surgical procedures. This approach can provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing multiple signs of aging simultaneously.
During your consultation, a specialist at KKC Clinic will assess your skin and recommend the best treatment plan to achieve optimal, natural-looking results.
Cost of a Thread Lift
At KKC Clinic, thread lifts start at 9,900 THB, with final pricing based on your personalized treatment plan.
Factors that affect cost:
Number of Threads Used: More threads may be needed for larger areas.
Treatment Areas: Face + neck costs more than a single area.
Type of Threads: Longer-lasting threads (PCL) are more expensive than PDO.

Thread lifts are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some patients experience mild tightness or soreness afterward, which typically subsides within a few days.
Can you feel threads in your face?
In the first few days, some patients may notice a slight tightness or be aware of the threads beneath the skin. This sensation gradually fades as the threads integrate with the tissue and the skin heals.
How soon will I see results?
You will notice an immediate lifting effect, but full results develop over the next 4–6 weeks as collagen production increases.
What happens if I don’t like the results?
Since thread lifts are temporary and dissolvable, results will fade over time. In some cases, threads can be adjusted or removed by your doctor if needed.
