Thread face lifts, Liverpool
Led by Dr. Paul Effiong, a highly experienced medical aesthetics practitioner, our doctor-led, Liverpool-based aesthetic clinic uses advanced threads such as Spring Thread® – also known as the “One Stitch Facelift”. Designed for natural results, long-lasting support, and minimal downtime, our professional aesthetics team deliver it all within our discreet, CQC-registered clinic in the heart of the city.
What is a thread lift & how does it work?
A thread lift is a non-surgical facelift alternative designed to reposition sagging facial tissue, stimulate collagen renewal, and restore the natural shape of the face. It’s especially effective for treating mild to moderate skin laxity.
At Bold Street Clinic, we offer two types of thread systems:
Spring Thread® – The one stitch facelift
Crafted in France and made of medical-grade polyester encased in silicone, these threads are:
- 100% biocompatible
- Flexible enough to follow your facial movement
- Designed with rounded bi-directional cogs to minimise tissue trauma
- Created with controlled elasticity for optimal, natural movement and lift
- Inserted with a swaged atraumatic needle, reducing risks and ensuring smooth placement
MINT PDO threads
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads dissolve over time, promoting collagen synthesis while offering visible lifting and tightening effects that improve over 6–12 months.
Both thread types are placed under local anaesthetic, with no general anaesthesia or overnight stay required.
