Threads are a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. They may help improve skin firmness, provide a subtle lifting effect, and stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.
Thread lifts use fine, dissolvable medical threads made from biocompatible materials such as PDO (polydioxanone), PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid), or PCL (polycaprolactone). These are the same materials commonly used in surgical sutures, which safely break down in the body over time.
Once placed under the skin, the threads provide two main effects:
Immediate support and lift – The threads create a gentle mechanical lift by repositioning tissues, which accounts for a small portion of the overall result.
Collagen stimulation – As the body responds to the threads, it begins to produce new collagen and elastin around them. This natural healing process helps improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture over the following months.
The gradual boost in collagen production means results are subtle, progressive, and designed to enhance skin quality as well as provide lifting.
Several different thread materials are used for cosmetic procedures, including PDO, PLLA and PCL threads. Well-known brands available in Australia include Silhouette Soft®, MINT™ and Aptos.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the treatment area.
Threads are gently inserted into the subcutaneous tissue and positioned to support the tissues.
The excess thread is trimmed, and a topical antibiotic gel is applied to the entry point.
Important: Thread lifts should only be performed by a qualified, experienced medical professional. At Samara Aesthetics, our practitioners are AHPRA-registered, and Dr Sam Aravinth is a national trainer in threads, ensuring you are treated by highly trained professionals.
Thread lifts are considered minimally invasive and are performed in a medical setting under local anaesthetic. Possible side effects include:
Swelling and bruising, usually resolving within 2–3 days
Tenderness at the entry points
Rare risks such as infection or thread movement
There are no surgical incisions. Most people are able to return to work the same day or within 1–2 days.
Some lifting may be visible immediately, although the best results generally appear 3–4 weeks after treatment as collagen stimulation develops.
Threads remain in the tissue for approximately 12–15 months.
The overall effect of the lift and collagen support may last up to 3 years.
Results vary depending on individual factors, including skin quality and lifestyle.

People often see a noticeable difference immediately after the procedure. However, you’ll see the best results 3 to 4 weeks after the procedure.
The threads themselves last and adhesive approximately 12 to 15 months, and the mechanical lift and collagen stimulation’s combined effect lasts up to 3 years.
Your threads are placed under the skin (after the area has been numbed by local anaesthetic). The threads give an initial mechanical lift, which forms approximately 10 to 15% of the lift. The remainder — and the majority of the tightening effect — is created by the collagen stimulation effect of the threads themselves.
The collagen stimulation effect improves over a 3 to 12 12-month period following the procedure. Consequently, results are subtle and continue to enhance your appearance gradually over a few months.
