Thread Lifting
Gentle Lifting for Firmed Facial Contours

Over the years, facial contours yield to gravity and lose definition. Thread lifting at the MEDICAL ART clinic in Munich Bogenhausen offers a non-surgical option to gently re-lift the skin structure at defined points.

The Problem

When Contours Soften

Often it is not a single wrinkle that bothers, but the general sagging of tissue. The V-shape of youth (broad cheeks, narrow chin) slowly reverses.

  • Blurring Chin Line: The so-called jawline loses its sharpness, and the first mild jowls form.
  • Sunken Cheeks: The mid-face loses volume and pulls slightly downward, deepening the nasolabial fold.
  • Reluctance About Surgery: A surgical facelift with general anaesthesia and longer downtime feels like too big a step for many patients (yet).

When fillers alone can no longer lift the tissue and a facelift is not desired, thread lifting fills precisely this gap.

The Medical Solution

Lifting and Firming from Within

In thread lifting, we introduce fine, specially developed threads beneath the skin. These threads are equipped with microscopically small barbs or cones that gently anchor in the slackened tissue.

Through this anchorage, the tissue can be carefully drawn back into its original position. Simultaneously, the slowly dissolving threads stimulate the body's own collagen production, which also supports and firms the tissue long-term from within.

Your Advantages

Why Thread Lifting at MEDICAL ART?

Immediately Visible Effect

The repositioning effect on the skin is visible immediately after treatment.

Gentle Procedure

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia. No large incisions or scars are needed.

Dual Effect

In addition to the immediate lifting effect, collagen induction sustainably improves the skin structure.

Short Recovery Time

Compared to a surgical facelift, the social downtime is minimal.

Costs and Effort

Thread lifting is a purely aesthetic private service billed according to the medical fee schedule (GOÄ). Health insurers do not contribute to the costs.

Before treatment, we calmly discuss how many threads are sensible for your desired result and prepare a clear cost plan.

Costs & Reimbursement

Your Investment Framework

The costs depend on the type and number of threads used as well as the size of the treated area.

  • Depending on the region (cheeks, jawline, neck), we use different thread types (e.g., lifting threads or pure collagen threads).
  • If desired, you can finance the treatment price straightforwardly through our billing partners.
Process

In a Few Steps to Firm Contours

01

Consultation & Marking

We analyse your tissue and mark the exact vectors in the direction the skin should be supported.

02

Local Anaesthesia

The entry points of the threads and the thread path beneath the skin are locally anaesthetised, making the treatment very tolerable.

03

Placement of the Threads

The threads are placed via a fine guide cannula, anchored in the tissue, and gently tightened to achieve the lifting effect.

Will I Feel the Threads Under the Skin?

In the first days after treatment, you may sometimes feel a slight pulling or be able to superficially feel the threads with strong facial expressions or when washing the face. This is completely normal. After a short time, the threads integrate softly into the tissue and are neither visible nor noticeably bothersome in daily life.

Thread lifting is a sensible bridge between hyaluronic acid and the scalpel. It can subtly soften visible signs of time – gently and without scars.

Frequently Asked Questions

The threads generally dissolve completely within 6 to 12 months. However, through the newly formed collagen scaffold, the firming effect often persists for 1 to 2 years.
Usually yes. There may be slight swelling, small bruises, or minor puckering of the skin at the entry points. After 2-3 days, however, these side effects can usually be easily covered with make-up.
Very well, in fact. Thread lifting is often combined with hyaluronic acid to restore targeted volume (e.g., at the cheekbones) alongside the tightening.
