Threadlifting threads come in the form of thin, dissolvable threads that are typically smooth or barbed in appearance.
Smooth threads are used for skin tightening and collagen stimulation, while barbed threads have tiny barbs or cones that allow for lifting and repositioning of sagging tissues. The threads are often attached to a needle or cannula, which is used to insert them into the skin or subcutaneous tissues. The length and thickness of the threads can vary depending on the treatment area and desired outcome.
They are typically made of a biocompatible material and the best clinics will offer a few options so that their patients can receive the most appropriate treatment for their needs.
Thread Lift Photos
If you search for thread lift images, you’ll find many showing results, but relatively few showing the actual threads. If you are considering a thread lift, it can be really helpful to visualise what the devices look like so that you can understand how the procedure will work. These images give an insight:

The tiny, absorbable threads are carefully under the skin’s surface using either cannula or needle technique, depending on the patient, threads and treatment objectives. Once inserted, the doctor can then manipulate the threads within the skin to create structure and support. The skin appears tighter and lifted for a highly effective rejuvenation result that is achieved without surgery.

CQC Registered Thread Lift Clinic
Clinicbe® is fully registered with the CQC and has for many years been pleased to work to the stringent standards involved. The clinic is delighted to be among the elite offering thread lifts, as it believes they offer unique advantages to clients seeking a more dramatic rejuvenation without the cost, risk and hassle of surgery.
Dr Kubicka says:
“Being registered with the Care Quality Commission is something that many clinics choose not to do due to the cost, work and high standards involved. For many, it is not a legal requirement and many clinics and salons prefer not to be held to account in this way or to have their reports published.
“However, at Clinicbe®, we believe it is very important. It is a way of demonstrating publicly that we meet high standards. Patients are reassured to be able to review CQC reports and understand the standards that have to be met.
“Extending our registration to include thread lifting was a natural move for us and essential in order to be able to offer this effective and versatile procedure, which has been popular with so many of our clientele.”
