A thread lift is an aesthetic medicine procedure that seeks a supporting effect and skin redensification across the face and neck. It is offered as a non-surgical alternative for working on mild to moderate laxity, loss of jawline and facial-contour definition, and early sagging of the cheeks and jaw area. It may suit people who notice a loss of firmness but are not yet considering surgery. The effect is temporary and varies with each person, the type of thread and daily habits, so we do not promise a specific result. At Nova Center (Les Corts, Barcelona) we first confirm in a prior assessment that the treatment is suitable, and from there we define the protocol and the areas to treat.

What this page helps you decide
This page helps you understand when tensor threads may be a fit —mild to moderate skin laxity looking for a supporting effect without surgery— and when biostimulation, HIFU or another specific assessment may be more suitable if the laxity is advanced. It is not a diagnosis: the indication is always confirmed in a prior assessment.
When it may not be the first option
- You have advanced skin laxity or marked sagging, which is best assessed specifically.
- You are looking for an immediate change equivalent to that of surgery.
- You have expectations of a fixed or assured result.
- There is irritation, infection or active lesions in the area at this time.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Questions for your assessment
- Is the laxity in my case suitable for threads or is another option preferable?
- Which areas would be treated and with what type of threads?
- What supporting effect is reasonable to expect and over what period is it assessed?
- How much recovery time does it involve in my case?
- Is it advisable to combine it with biostimulation or radiofrequency?
- What maintenance may be needed later on?
Planning combinations
In some cases tensor threads are considered together with biostimulation or radiofrequency to work on firmness and skin quality. Whether it is advisable and in what order depends on the prior assessment. We do not offer closed packages or predefined protocols.
