Absorbable threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin using fine needles or cannulas by a trained practitioner. A local anaesthetic may be used to enhance comfort. Sensations and experiences vary between individuals.
Most people return to normal routines shortly after the procedure. Temporary redness, bruising, or swelling may occur. You’ll receive detailed aftercare advice to support healing and recovery.
Individual outcomes and recovery times vary. Your practitioner will provide full information on expected effects, potential risks, and post-treatment care.
Some patients notice an early change in skin support, with further changes developing gradually as part of the healing response.
Longevity varies depending on thread type, individual healing response, and lifestyle factors. Effects are not permanent.
Temporary side effects such as mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, or slight asymmetry may occur after treatment. These effects are generally short-lived and resolve within a few days to weeks. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare advice to support your recovery.
The frequency of treatment depends on your aesthetic goals, skin response, and practitioner recommendations. Many people choose to repeat or maintain the procedure every 12–18 months, but this varies for each individual.
Your practitioner will provide specific pre-treatment guidance. In general, you may be advised to avoid alcohol, certain medications, or supplements that increase bruising before your appointment. Arriving with clean, makeup-free skin is usually recommended.
The absorbable thread procedure is a minimally invasive treatment and, as with any medical procedure, carries potential risks and complications. These may include bruising, swelling, redness, tenderness, infection, bleeding, and temporary discomfort at the insertion sites. Threads may be palpable or visible beneath the skin, and asymmetry, contour irregularities, dimpling, or uneven results may occur. Altered skin sensation, including numbness or tingling, may occur and is usually temporary, though in rare cases may persist. Thread migration, breakage, or early loss of effect may occur, and results are not permanent. Less commonly, more serious complications such as prolonged pain, inflammation, or the need for further treatment or thread removal may occur. Individual risk varies based on skin quality, anatomy, healing response, and the number and type of threads used. These risks will be discussed in detail during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
