Thread Lift

Non-surgical thread lift performed by the Absolute Cosmetic medical team in Perth under Dr Glenn Murray's direction. Absorbable PDO or PLLA threads are inserted beneath the skin to mechanically lift sagging facial tissues and stimulate collagen production, providing a subtle lift to the mid-face, jowls, and neck without surgical incisions. Results develop over several months as collagen remodelling occurs.

Thread lifting at Absolute Cosmetic in Perth, Western Australia, offers a non-surgical facial rejuvenation option for patients seeking a subtle lift in the mid-face, lower face, and neck without the downtime or incisions associated with surgical rhytidectomy. The procedure involves the insertion of fine, absorbable threads — composed of polydioxanone (PDO) or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) — into the subcutaneous tissue layer via a fine cannula or needle, using either smooth threads for collagen bio-stimulation or barbed (cog) threads that mechanically grasp and reposition the overlying tissue for an immediate lifting effect. The Absolute Cosmetic clinical team, operating under the direction of Medical Director Dr Glenn Murray (MBBS UWA 1993, FRACGP, 30+ years cosmetic medicine), uses threads as part of a broader non-surgical facial rejuvenation toolkit that also includes Ultraformer HIFU skin tightening, Morpheus8 RF microneedling, and dermal fillers. A thread lift addresses mild to moderate facial laxity — the sagging of the mid-face pad, early jowl formation, and descent of the lateral brow — in patients who are not ready for or do not desire a surgical facelift. Beyond the mechanical lifting effect, absorbable threads stimulate a fibrotic response as the body breaks down the thread material over six to twelve months, leaving behind a scaffold of new collagen fibres that provides sustained tissue support. Results typically last twelve to eighteen months, with the collagen remodelling component outlasting the threads themselves. Perth patients can discuss whether a thread lift, a surgical facelift under Dr Murray, or a combination approach is most appropriate at a consultation at the Nedlands facility or one of the clinic's four additional Perth locations.
