Thread lift
Sometimes you look in the mirror and wonder when your facial expression became tired. Although you feel fit and lively, your face shows something else. This is exactly where a gentle thread lift can help—without surgery, without foreign materials, without unnatural changes.
At schön skincare Hamburg, we use modern, absorbable threads that not only lift but also stimulate the body's own collagen production. This creates a double effect: an immediately visible tightening and lasting regeneration of the skin from within.
After treatment, many of our patients say: "

In a nutshell: Frequently asked questions about thread lifting
How long do the results last?
Between 12 and 18 months, depending on skin structure and lifestyle.
Will I be socially presentable afterwards?
Basically, yes—slight swelling or bruising is possible, but usually inconspicuous. Many people consciously take 2–4 days off to recover.
Does it hurt?
Thanks to local anesthesia and sophisticated technology, the treatment is very well tolerated.
Will my face look "mask-like"?
No—we place great importance on freedom of expression and natural results.
Can thread lifting be combined with other treatments?
Yes—it is particularly effective when combined with PRP, peptide treatments, or gentle volume enhancement with hyaluronic acid.
Thread lift – Naturalness redefined
When less is more
At a time when cosmetic procedures are becoming increasingly visible, there is a growing desire for subtle, natural changes. People want to look fresher—without looking "done." This is exactly where thread lifting comes in.
Instead of building volume or restricting facial movements, this method activates the skin's self-regeneration process—with visible yet gentle effects.
At schön skincare Hamburg, we don't see thread lifting as a trend, but rather as a precise medical technique that can be used to respectfully correct the signs of aging.
How does thread lifting work?
In thread lifting, special absorbable threads with microscopic barbs are inserted into the skin through tiny punctures. They gently anchor themselves there and lift sagging areas of skin—e.g., on the jawline, cheeks, neck, or eyebrows.
At the same time, the threads deep within the tissue stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The result: an immediately visible lifting effect—and an improvement in skin firmness that increases over weeks.
This effect is achieved without adding volume and lasts for 12 to 18 months.
The process – step by step
Consulting & Analysis
We analyze your skin structure, facial expressions, and volume distribution, and discuss your wishes honestly and in detail.
Treatment planning
Together, we determine zones, thread types, and pull directions. We also consider possible combination treatments.
Local anesthesia & insertion
The skin is numbed locally. The threads are placed under the skin through tiny openings and gently anchored there.
Control & Cooling
After the treatment, the results are checked. If you wish, you can cool the area immediately—you will then be free to leave.
The treatment usually takes 30–45 minutes. Many effects are visible immediately—the final results usually become apparent within a few days. We also support you after the treatment with tips for care, regeneration, and refreshment.
What is special about the technology used by schön skincare?
We work with a new generation of special threads that are particularly stable and anchor themselves multiple times in the tissue—for reliable lifting even on fine or sagging skin.
The combination of traction and biological reaction gives rise to two parallel processes:
- Immediate lifting effect (visible immediately after treatment)
- Long-term regeneration through natural collagen regeneration
This technique differs significantly from earlier types of threads, which merely "pull" but have no regenerative effect.
Who is thread lifting suitable for?
A thread lift is particularly suitable for early signs of sagging, such as:
- on the cheeks (loss of volume, "sagging cheeks")
- along the jawline (undefined jawline)
- in the neck and décolleté area
- for gentle lifting of the eyebrows
- for fine nasolabial and marionette lines
- For subtle nose reshaping (even after surgery)
Typical candidates are women and men aged 35 and above who lead an active lifestyle and want to look fresher—without taking time off work or undergoing surgery.
How much does a thread lift cost?

Combinations that make sense
Thread lift + PRP
(Platelet-rich plasma):
for enhanced regeneration
Thread lift + peptides
To optimize skin moisture and structure
Thread lift + hyaluronic acid augmentation
e.g. to emphasize the jawline
These combinations enable a personalized anti-aging concept—tailored to your skin and your goals.
What will it look like afterwards?
The skin may feel slightly tight for 1–3 days, especially when laughing or chewing. Bruising is rare but possible. Many patients decide to rest for a few days, while others return to work the very next day.
We avoid sports, saunas, massages, and chewing hard foods for about 7 days.
Why thread lifting instead of fillers?
Many people have fine, thin skin—especially those in their mid-40s and older. In these cases, fillers often make the skin look puffy or even accentuate the effects of gravity. Threads, on the other hand, tighten the skin in its natural structure without increasing volume.
Thread lifting is also ideal for patients who have already received fillers and want a clearer, less filled-in appearance.
