A thread lift is a minimally invasive alternative to a traditional facelift and is designed to tighten sagging skin on the face, jawline, and neck. Fully absorbable threads are inserted beneath the skin to gently lift the tissue while preserving the natural shape and expression of the face.
The fine barbs on the threads support the skin structure and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This visibly firms the treated tissue and improves its strength and definition. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes less than one hour.
Results are often visible immediately and appear natural and discreet. Mild swelling or bruising usually subsides quickly. The lifting effect can last for up to two years, while the threads fully dissolve after approximately six to eight months.

Are you considering a lift or facial skin tightening? In the past, this required an expensive surgical procedure.
Now, our thread lift in Frankfurt offers a gentle and effective alternative. Designed to tighten sagging skin on the face, jawline, and neck, the treatment uses absorbable threads with small barbs that gently lift the skin and promote natural rejuvenation.
How Thread Lifting Works
During a thread lift, specially designed threads are inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten areas affected by skin laxity. The threads have small barbs that strengthen the skin structure while stimulating collagen and elastin production. This treatment is performed at our center in Frankfurt Sachsenhausen under local anesthesia, allowing you to remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
Thread lift treatment areas: In principle, all areas of the body can be treated with VENUS V-Line and MINT threads. However, treatment is most commonly performed on the following areas:
Forehead and temples
Eyebrows
Cheeks and jawline
Neck and décolleté
Benefits of Thread Lifting in Frankfurt
NON-SURGICAL METHOD Thread lifting is a minimally invasive treatment that does not require surgery. This means that general anesthesia is not necessary and the risks associated with surgical procedures can be avoided.
FAST RESULTS The results of a thread lift are often visible immediately. The treatment usually takes less than one hour, and patients can quickly return to their daily activities.
NO OR MINIMAL DOWNTIME As this is a minimally invasive procedure, downtime is limited. Patients are usually able to return to social activities within a few days.
NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS The lifting effect appears natural and discreet, creating a younger and fresher appearance without making it obvious that a cosmetic procedure has been performed.
The Thread Lift Treatment Procedure
Thread lift treatments with VENUS V-Line lifting threads are virtually painless because the relevant areas are numbed with local anesthesia beforehand.
The number of threads used depends on the area to be tightened and your individual preferences. There is no fixed limitation.
The 100% absorbable threads are inserted subcutaneously, meaning beneath the skin, using a very fine guide needle. They then form a stable network that visibly strengthens the skin structure through the tension of the threads and increased production of the body’s own collagen and fibrin. This naturally tightens the treated area and restores the tissue to its original position.
The needles are removed, leaving behind an invisible framework of threads. Any mild swelling or bruising that may occur depends on the number of threads used and the area treated.
These effects are generally harmless, can be covered with makeup, and usually subside quickly. Several areas can be tightened during a single treatment.
The treatment can also be combined with other therapies, such as hyaluronic acid injections.
Long-Lasting Results
A surgical facelift pulls the tissue into position, while our soft lift promotes the formation of new connective tissue and the rebuilding of the collagen support structure.
Your natural facial expression is preserved. The results of the soft lift can last for up to two years, and the treatment can be repeated at any time.
The threads fully dissolve after approximately 6–8 months. ERA Esthetic – Website Images 2
