What is a Thread Lift?
A thread lift is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment designed to lift, firm, and redefine areas of the face and neck using specialised dissolvable threads. These threads are delicately inserted beneath the skin to reposition sagging tissue and stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin quality over time.
Unlike traditional facelift surgery, a thread lift involves no scalpels, no general anaesthesia, and no long recovery period. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes and is performed under local anaesthetic in the clinic. Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Thread lifts are particularly effective for:
Lifting the cheeks and jawline
Tightening loose skin on the neck
Smoothing early jowls
Elevating sagging brows or under-eye areas
Dr. Ali Soueid uses only FDA-approved, medical-grade threads, such as PDO, PLLA, or PCL, carefully selected to suit your goals and skin type. Results are immediate, with continued improvement over 3–6 months as collagen builds. The final effect is a natural, refreshed appearance—not overdone, just lifted.
This advanced treatment is available in London, Doha, Dubai, and Beirut, tailored to each patient by Dr. Soueid for subtle, harmonious results.
Areas of
Thread Lift
Early Signs of Ageing
Thread lifts are ideal for individuals noticing mild to moderate skin laxity, such as sagging in the cheeks, jawline, neck, or brows. If you’re starting to see early jowls, smile lines, or loose skin but aren’t ready for surgery, this minimally invasive option can deliver natural-looking lift and firmness.
Healthy Lifestyle & Realistic Expectations
A good candidate is in overall good health, a non-smoker, and maintains a stable weight. You should have realistic goals—understanding that a thread lift provides subtle, refined enhancement rather than the dramatic results of a surgical facelift.
Looking for Minimal Downtime
If you want noticeable rejuvenation without taking weeks off work, thread lift is perfect. It’s especially suited for busy professionals or those preparing for an event who want to look fresher fast, with minimal interruption to daily life.

Preparation & Aftercare
Follow these instruction to prepare for your procedure and to have a smooth post-operative recovery.
Preparation
Before your treatment, ensure your skin is clean and makeup-free. Stay well-hydrated and eat a light meal beforehand. Discuss any medications or supplements with Dr. Soueid, especially if you take blood thinners, anti-inflammatories, or herbal remedies that may increase bruising.
What to Avoid
Avoid alcohol, smoking, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory drugs for at least 3–5 days before and after the procedure, as they can increase swelling or bruising. Also, skip facial treatments, sunbeds, or intense skincare products in the days leading up to your thread lift.
Post-Treatment
Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights. Avoid heavy chewing, facial massages, or strenuous exercise for 7–10 days. Use cold compresses if needed and follow all aftercare instructions from Dr. Soueid to ensure the best possible results.
What to expect
During Your Thread Lift Procedure
Your thread lift will be performed in-clinic under local anaesthesia, with the entire procedure typically taking 30 to 60 minutes. Dr. Ali Soueid will begin by marking the treatment areas and then gently inserting fine dissolvable threads under the skin using a thin cannula. These threads are used to lift and reposition sagging tissue, offering an immediate tightening effect.
You may feel light pressure or tugging, but the procedure is generally well tolerated with minimal discomfort. Once the threads are in place, the skin is smoothed, and the lift is adjusted for a natural contour. There are no stitches or scalpels, and downtime is minimal.
After the treatment, you can leave the clinic the same day. Mild swelling or bruising may occur and usually resolves within a few days. You’ll begin to see immediate results, with further improvement over the next few months as collagen production is stimulated.
