Gentle wrinkle treatment and skin tightening

Thread lift

Wrinkles are a natural consequence of skin aging. As we get older, the skin loses firmness and elasticity, becomes looser, and lines begin to form on the face. Thread lifting is a gentle, non-surgical method for treating facial wrinkles without incisions, permanent scars, or altered facial expressions. Mild to moderate wrinkles can be smoothed gently: thanks to this minimally invasive skin tightening with a lifting effect, your face regains its original youthful position and volume.

What is thread lifting?

The thread lift at LIVION in Hamburg

Thread lifting is a gentle method of treating wrinkles on the face. In this minimally invasive procedure, self-dissolving threads are inserted into the skin tissue through a small incision. This smooths and partially lifts sagging skin. Unlike a surgical facelift with a scalpel, thread lifting does not pull the face into a new position, so natural facial expressions are preserved. Another advantage of thread lifting is that the threads not only firm and tighten the face, they also stimulate the body's own collagen production. The result is an immediately visible lifting effect that has a long-term impact.

How is a thread lift performed?

Natural skin tightening with the thread lift

The thread lift at LIVION Hamburg is performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately one hour. Using a small entry point and a fine guide needle, the threads are inserted under the skin. There, they create a supportive network that lifts sagging skin back into its original position. Afterward, the needles are removed, and the threads remain under the skin. The threads used for this type of wrinkle treatment are of high quality and are completely absorbed by the body over time.

What you need to bear in mind after treatment

Aftercare for thread lifting

The punctures made during thread lifting are so fine that no wounds remain and subsequent wound care is therefore not necessary. After the wrinkle treatment, slight swelling or bruising may occur, which can be quickly reduced by cooling and will subside in a very short time. Patients should refrain from excessive facial expressions for three to five days after thread lifting.

FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about thread lifting

A thread lift is a minimally invasive method for wrinkle treatment and skin tightening—without surgery, cuts, or scars. Dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin with a fine needle to gently lift and tighten sagging areas. At the same time, the threads stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, providing a long-lasting lifting effect while maintaining natural facial expressions.

A thread lift is ideal for men and women seeking a gentle yet effective method for skin tightening. It is particularly suitable for mild to moderate skin laxity in the face or neck area. It is also a good option for those who want to visibly reduce early signs of aging.

At LIVION in Hamburg, a thread lift can be used on multiple facial and neck areas: eyebrows and eye area, forehead and temples, cheeks and jawline, facial contours, and the neck. All areas can be lifted and tightened for a fresher, more youthful appearance.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or with nitrous oxide and takes about one hour. Through a small entry point, threads are inserted with a fine guiding needle and positioned under the skin, forming a supportive network. The threads dissolve over time and simultaneously stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration.

Mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually resolves quickly. Avoid intense facial expressions and strenuous physical activity for 3 to 5 days. Since no visible cuts are made, patients are generally socially presentable shortly after the treatment.

The lifting effect is often visible immediately after the procedure and continues to improve over the following weeks as collagen production increases. Results usually last 12 to 18 months, depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle.
