It is important for anybody considering a thread lift to have a full consultation with our doctor beforehand. Threads are recommended for men and women of 30 years and over who are trying to combat effectively the signs of ageing and who do not want any heavy or invasive treatment but are looking for real and natural results.

Polylactic acid threads are a great way to lift the neck area. Our medical director at Changes is a leading figure in the training of threads to other UK medics, and has recently used leading techniques for maximum success in the neck area.

A variety of thread sizes can be used, with and without barbs or cones. The idea is to create a tiny amount of new collagen around each thread which in turn increases volume, improves tone, and increases elasticity. In combination these three benefits result in skin lift.

Treatment is suitable for all skin types. Nevertheless the use of threads is not recommended if you are allergic or sensitive to biomaterials.

Patients describe the procedure as being pain-free because they receive a local anaesthetic at the first stage. This is often the only discomfort they will feel.

The thread is inserted and orientated to oppose the natural force of gravity which causes line creation and skin weakness. In the neck area multiple threads are used. Recovery time is short and a great alternative to the invasive surgical neck lift.
