Thread Lifting in Frankfurt

Gentle Skin Tightening Without Surgery – For Natural Freshness and Youthful Contours

Would you like to counteract sagging skin and rejuvenate your face naturally? Modern thread lifting is a minimally invasive method that gently lifts facial contours, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin texture – without surgery or long downtime.

What Is Thread Lifting?

Over time, the skin loses elasticity, tissue begins to sag, and fine lines appear. The so-called “triangle of beauty,” which is typically located in the upper face during youth, gradually shifts downward.

Thread lifting helps to gently and effectively reverse these changes – without incisions or scars.

How Thread Lifting Works

During treatment, special, fully bioresorbable threads are placed under the skin. These threads stimulate collagen production while simultaneously providing mechanical lifting of the tissue.

Depending on your skin condition and treatment goals, different types of threads may be used – smooth, spiral-shaped, or equipped with small barbs for targeted lifting.

Two main effects of thread lifting:

• Immediate lifting effect through mechanical elevation of the skin

• Long-term skin improvement through biostimulation and collagen production

The result is visibly firmer, fresher skin – with a natural appearance and long-lasting effects (typically 12 to 24 months).

Thread Lifting vs. Thread Therapy – What’s the Difference?

Thread Therapy:
Uses smooth threads without barbs, designed to gently tighten the skin and improve skin quality. Ideal for fine wrinkles (e.g., lips, eye area, neck, décolleté).

Thread Lifting with Lifting Threads (Cog Threads):
Threads with tiny barbs (“cogs”) anchor into the tissue, allowing for precise lifting and repositioning of sagging skin – particularly effective for the cheeks, jawline, and neck.

Combination Treatments:
Often, combining both methods yields the best results – tightening the skin while improving overall skin texture and firmness.

Our Thread Types and Systems

We use a variety of high-quality thread types, each with different textures, strength, and longevity. The ideal thread is selected based on your skin type and aesthetic goals.

Examples:

• Barbed lifting threads – for pronounced lifting effects

• Smooth mono threads – for fine wrinkles and skin quality improvement

• Spiral/screw threads – for volume enhancement and overall skin rejuvenation

All threads are made of well-established medical materials such as Polydioxanone (PDO), Polylactic Acid (PLLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), or their combinations. They are fully resorbable and naturally broken down by the body over time.

Safety & Quality

At our clinic in Frankfurt, we exclusively use certified medical-grade threads that meet the highest safety and quality standards. These threads are:

• Biocompatible and well-tolerated

• Durable and stable

• Clinically proven in surgical applications for decades

• Specifically developed for aesthetic treatments

The procedure is performed under sterile conditions using state-of-the-art techniques – ensuring maximum safety and optimal results.

Depending on your individual needs, we use trusted thread systems such as Cog threads, Silhouette Soft®, and MINTLift®, all known for their excellent safety profiles, effectiveness, and long-lasting results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Thread Lifting?

A successful outcome starts with a comprehensive medical consultation and analysis to determine whether thread lifting is suitable for you, or if alternative treatments are more appropriate.

Basic eligibility criteria:
If no medical contraindications are present – such as allergies, autoimmune diseases, active infections, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or blood-thinning medications – a personalized treatment plan can be developed.

Setting realistic expectations is key. This is a gentle, non-surgical procedure that enhances natural beauty – not a substitute for facelift surgery.

Ideal Candidates:

• Typically between the ages of 35 and 60

• Early signs of skin laxity and volume loss, especially in the mid-face area

• Good skin quality with minimal excess skin

• No advanced age-related tissue sagging

• Seeking a natural-looking result through a gentle, minimally invasive treatment

In cases of significant tissue sagging or skin excess – often in older patients – thread lifting alone may not be sufficient. In such cases, surgical options or combined treatments may be more effective.

For localized fine lines or early signs of aging, smooth mono threads (e.g., around the lips, eyes, or décolleté) can provide excellent results.

When Is Thread Lifting Not Recommended?

Thread lifting is not suitable in the following cases:

• Excessive skin sagging or heavy tissue descent

• Very thin skin (only smooth threads without lifting effect may be used)

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

• Underage patients

• Active cancer or ongoing cancer therapy

• Inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area

• Autoimmune diseases or immune suppression

• Tendency to form keloids (excessive scar tissue)

A thorough medical history and consultation will be conducted before treatment to ensure safety and suitability.

Risks & Side Effects

Thread lifting is considered a safe and well-tolerated procedure with low risk – especially when performed by trained professionals.

We use only certified threads that meet the latest standards in medical research. The materials used have been safely applied in surgery for over 30 years.

Possible (temporary) side effects:

• Mild swelling and bruising (hematomas)

• A feeling of tension or pressure in the treated area

• Temporary skin puckering with lifting threads

• In rare cases, small nodules or irregularities (usually resolve on their own)

These effects typically subside within a few days.

Pro Tip: Gentle care and avoiding pressure on treated areas in the first few days supports healing and helps ensure optimal results.

Prices & Treatment Options

The cost of a thread lift depends on the type, number, and combination of threads used, as well as the treatment area. A personalized cost estimate will be provided during your consultation.
