A minimally invasive, clinically guided treatment designed to support skin lifting, contour refinement, and collagen stimulation while preserving natural facial movement.
Thread treatments are minimally invasive procedures designed to support facial lifting and contour refinement without surgical intervention.
At Esmée, threads are classified as mechanical support and collagen-stimulation treatments. They may be used to reposition tissue, enhance definition, and encourage gradual collagen response over time. Suitability is determined by skin laxity, facial structure, and desired outcome, with careful attention to safety, placement technique, and long-term tissue response.
Based on assessment, the suitable thread type and placement areas are selected, lifting direction and support points are precisely mapped, and the extent of treatment is planned conservatively. Aftercare requirements and recovery expectations are clearly explained to ensure informed preparation.

During the procedure, local anaesthesia may be used as needed, and threads are placed using sterile, guided techniques with care taken to minimise trauma and discomfort. The duration varies depending on the treatment area. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur temporarily.
Post-procedure care includes guidance on modifying activities, precautions around facial movements, and clear instructions for skin care and hygiene. Follow-up review appointments are scheduled to assess healing and treatment response, and most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days.
Thread treatments may support improvement in mild to moderate skin laxity, early facial sagging, loss of jawline definition, mid-face descent, neck skin laxity, and early signs of ageing where surgery is not indicated. Threads are not suitable for advanced skin laxity or as a substitute for surgical procedures.
