AESTHETIC FACIAL
THREAD LIFT
Thread Lift at NURIM Dermatech is a personalized aesthetic treatment designed to support facial lifting, skin tightening and improved facial contours.
A Thread Lift is a refined, minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment designed to restore definition, elevate gently relaxed tissues, and refresh the overall architecture of the face – without the incisions associated with conventional facelift surgery. True facial rejuvenation is not about changing the way you look – it is about restoring the harmony, structure and definition that time gradually softens.
Nurim approach is individually planned around your facial anatomy, skin quality and aesthetic goals. Strategic thread placement can help enhance the jawline, lift the cheeks, improve facial contours and create a more rested appearance. As the threads gradually stimulate collagen formation, the treatment can also contribute to progressive improvement in skin firmness and texture.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE OF THREAD LIFT:
At nurim, every Thread Lift is approached as a personalised facial-architecture procedure. The treatment is carefully planned according to your anatomy, degree of laxity, skin quality and desired aesthetic outcome.
Step 1: Comprehensive Facial Assessment-
Your treatment begins with an in-depth consultation and facial assessment. Our aesthetic specialist evaluates facial proportions, skin laxity, tissue descent, volume distribution and areas requiring structural support.
Step 2: Customized Treatment Mapping –
Strategic entry and thread-placement points are mapped on the face according to the individual’s anatomy and treatment goals. The number, type, and positioning of threads are selected based on the area being treated and the degree of correction required.
Step 3: Preparation & Local Anaesthesia –
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and prepared under strict protocols. Local anaesthesia is administered at the relevant entry points to ensure maximum comfort during the procedure.
Step 4: Precision Thread Placement –
Using specialized techniques, the absorbable medical-grade threads are introduced through carefully selected entry points beneath the skin. The threads are positioned along predetermined vectors to provide controlled support and subtle elevation of the targeted tissues.
Step 5: Sculpting & Contouring –
Once positioned, the tissues are gently repositioned to enhance the desired facial contours. Particular attention is given to symmetry, facial proportions and the preservation of natural expressions.
Step 6: Final Assessment –
After placement, the treatment area is carefully assessed from multiple angles to ensure appropriate balance and symmetry. The threads are secured and the entry points are managed according to the treatment protocol.
Step 7: Personalised Aftercare –
A detailed post-treatment instructions designed to support healing and protect the treatment result. Mild swelling, bruising, tenderness or temporary tightness may occur following treatment.
