About
How do they work?
Using a non-incision method, Bio-Threads are inserted via a needle or cannula. Completely non-invasive, the procedure is an efficient way to improve sagging skin with minimal post-operative downtime.
The price of your treatment will vary depending on how many threads you need for the area you wish to treat.
Individual areas of the face require a minimum of 4 threads. For a full face treatment, you’ll need a minimum of 12 threads.
What are the benefits?
Bio-Threads can be used for the tightening and lifting of soft, sagging facial tissue, such as improving a sagging jowl or lifting the eyebrow.
By stimulating the body’s natural immune response, Bio-Threads promote the production of collagen, resulting in improved skin texture and rejuvenation. This can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and achieve an anti-ageing effect.

Treatment Information
What results can you expect from Bio-Threads?
For rejuvenating the skin, results can be seen after around six weeks and continue to improve for up to 12 months due to the gradual production of collagen.
For lifting and volume the results should be evident immediately following the procedure and will continue to improve overtime as the threads dissolve and collagen is naturally produced.
Preparing for your Skin for Bio-Threads
We recommend avoiding other injectables two – four weeks prior to your treatment. Fish oil supplements and other blood thinning medications should be ceased one week prior to your treatment to avoid bruising.
Note: Please check with your medical doctor before ceasing any medications.
What happens during your Bio-Threads treatment?
Your skin will be cleansed and prepared with numbing cream prior to the treatment. The Bio-Threads are inserting into the underlying tissue.
Once inserted the Bio-Threads will be absorbed by the body over time, typically around six to eight months. However, due to the increased collagen production, results can last up to 12 – 24 months.
What to expect after your Bio-Threads treatment?
Some side-effects can occur such as bruising, swelling, headache, bleeding, pain and mild asymmetry, superficial displacement and skin dimpling.
These side effects ten to naturally heal over time (typically resolving within two weeks) or can be addressed with a secondary treatment.
We will discuss all possible side effects during your consultation to determine if a thread-lifting procedure is right for you.
Note: This device is prohibited to use on patients who have Diabetes with complications of dermal necrosis.
How many Bio-Thread treatments are required?
You will see immediate results after one treatment which can last for 12 – 24 months.
