A thread lift gently lifts and firms sagging skin using fine, dissolvable threads, while stimulating your own collagen for a longer-term effect. At Vivardi Clinics in Rawang, it is performed by an LCP-certified doctor for a natural, refreshed result without surgery.

Quick summary
Your enquiry is kept strictly confidential and handled in line with Malaysia's PDPA.
A thread lift uses fine, absorbable threads inserted under the skin to gently lift and reposition sagging areas. As well as the immediate lift, the threads stimulate the skin to produce collagen over the following weeks, which supports firmness. It is a popular middle ground for people who want more than injectables but are not ready for surgery.

Lifts sagging cheeks for a more youthful contour.
Refines a softening jawline and lower face.
A subtle brow lift to open up the eyes.

You will notice an immediate lift after treatment, with the result improving over the following weeks as collagen builds. The threads dissolve naturally over time, but the collagen they stimulate continues to support firmness. Results commonly last well over a year, and the treatment can be repeated to maintain the effect.

A thread lift is a medical procedure where placement and technique matter a great deal. At Vivardi, it is performed by an LCP-certified doctor who understands facial anatomy and aims for a soft, natural lift. Every consultation is private and handled in line with Malaysia's PDPA.
A thread lift suits people with mild to moderate sagging who want a subtle lift without surgery or significant downtime. It is commonly used to lift the cheeks, define a softening jawline, smooth early jowls, lift the brows and tidy the neckline. It works best when there is some skin laxity but good overall skin quality, giving a refreshed, slightly lifted look rather than a dramatic change. It is not the right option for very heavy or severely loose skin, where a surgical facelift would give a better result. Your doctor examines your facial structure and skin and will be honest about whether a thread lift, or another approach, will serve you best.
During the procedure the area is numbed with local anaesthetic, then fine dissolvable threads are placed under the skin and gently used to reposition and support the tissue. You usually see a lift straight away, and the threads also stimulate collagen over the following weeks for a gradual firming effect. It is normal to feel some tightness, mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises for several days up to a couple of weeks. For the first week or two it helps to avoid wide mouth movements, facials, dental work, saunas and vigorous exercise, and to sleep on your back. Results typically last around twelve to eighteen months as the threads dissolve, and maintenance can extend the effect.
