What is an Ultra V Lift?
The Ultra V Lift is a non-surgical thread lift technique that uses absorbable collagen-stimulating threads placed beneath the skin. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to provide support to the skin and encourage natural collagen production, which may help improve firmness and contour over time.
How does it work?
- Fine threads are carefully inserted under the skin in targeted areas of the face.
- The threads provide a subtle lifting effect while stimulating collagen synthesis.
- Collagen production may help improve skin structure and texture gradually as the threads dissolve.
- The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic and takes less than an hour.
Temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, or mild irregularities (like dimpling) can occur and typically resolve within days.
What areas can be treated?
Thread lifts may be considered for:
- Jawline and lower face definition
- Cheeks and mid-face support
- Eyebrow or temple areas
- Mild skin laxity in the neck
What to consider
- Results vary between individuals.
- Effects are temporary as threads gradually dissolve; collagen stimulation may help extend results.
- Risks may include swelling, bruising, infection, or thread movement.
- Repeat treatments may be considered if appropriate.
Who is suitable?
Suitability depends on skin type, degree of skin laxity, medical history, and treatment goals. A consultation is required to assess if Ultra V Lift is appropriate or if another option may be more suitable.
Ultra V Lift Threads – Frequently Asked Questions
How long do results last?
Ultra V threads gradually dissolve over months. Collagen stimulation may help maintain effects for longer, but duration varies for each patient.
Is there downtime?
Most people resume daily activities within a few days. Swelling or bruising may occur and usually resolves with time.
Are thread lifts permanent?
No. Thread lifts are temporary. Maintenance or repeat procedures may be required if ongoing effects are desired.
Is Ultra V Lift safe?
Thread lifts carry risks such as infection, bruising, thread movement, or asymmetry. These will be discussed during consultation.
Who is a good candidate?
Those with mild to moderate skin laxity may be suitable. Suitability depends on individual assessment by a qualified practitioner.
