Minimally Invasive Lifting Procedure
Thread Lift Treatment JB — Collagen Lift & Contour
A thread lift is a doctor-performed procedure in Johor Bahru. It is for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical lift. Absorbable threads are used to lift tissues and support new collagen growth for firmer skin. A doctor’s assessment is needed to check your suitability, as results can vary.
Many of our patients from Singapore and local areas like Mount Austin and Iskandar Puteri choose Medi Clinic for thread lifts. They trust our doctor-led protocols focused on safety and precise technique. While some clinics in Taman Pelangi may focus heavily on marketing, we prioritise structured care plans and transparent advice for reliable outcomes.

How It Works
How Threads Lift Tissue and Encourage New Collagen
A thread lift uses special threads made of materials like PDO, PLLA or PCL. The doctor places these threads under the skin using a fine cannula. The threads have tiny barbs or cones that gently grip the tissue to provide an immediate lift. This helps to redefine areas like the jawline and cheeks.
Over the next few months, the threads safely dissolve. As they do, they encourage your body to produce its own natural collagen. This process helps to gradually improve skin firmness and texture. This dual-action approach is valued by patients from Taman Molek, Taman Sentosa, and across Singapore.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thread Lifts in JB
Find answers to common questions about thread lift treatments. This can help you prepare for your consultation with the doctor.
What is a thread lift and how is it different from fillers or surgery?
A thread lift repositions sagging skin with threads. Fillers add volume. A surgical facelift removes excess skin for more dramatic results. A thread lift is a less invasive option with less downtime than surgery.
Who is a good candidate in Johor Bahru?
A good candidate has mild to moderate skin laxity. They should also have realistic expectations about the results. A doctor must assess your skin condition and medical history to confirm if it is a suitable option for you.
Which thread types are used and how long might they last?
We use threads made from materials like PDO, PLLA, and PCL. Each dissolves at a different rate and stimulates collagen differently. Longevity depends on the thread type, your skin, and lifestyle. It typically lasts about 1–3 years.
What is recovery like and what should I avoid?
Most patients have minimal downtime. You may need to avoid strong facial massages and dental work for a few weeks. It is also advised to sleep on your back with your head elevated for a short period. Your doctor will give you clear instructions.
When will I see results and how long do they last?
An initial lift is visible right away. The results can improve over the next 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Depending on the threads used and individual factors, the improvements may last around 1 to 3 years. Results vary.
What are the common side effects and rare risks?
Common side effects are temporary. They include mild bruising, swelling, tenderness, and sometimes skin dimpling. Rare risks include infection or a thread becoming visible. A skilled doctor minimises these risks.
Can thread lifts combine with fillers or lasers?
Yes, it can be part of a complete treatment plan. A doctor can advise on combining it with other treatments like HA fillers or lasers like Fotona 4D. This is done to achieve better overall rejuvenation safely and effectively.
Is the procedure painful?
The doctor uses local anaesthesia to numb the treatment area. This helps to make the procedure comfortable for most patients. You may feel some tenderness or soreness for a few days after the anaesthesia wears off.
