Gentle face lift in Vienna

Thread lifting with JUVENIS

Sooner or later, the signs of time catch up with each of us and we notice certain changes. Eyebrows droop, sagging cheeks and unwanted wrinkles appear. The contours become blurred. Wouldn't it be nice to simply "pull" everything back into its original position? This is now possible with a thread lift!

This gentle version of the face lift gives you back your youthful appearance in a procedure lasting around 30 minutes, without affecting your natural facial expressions. The treatment is carried out in the surgery. No anesthesia or incisions are required.

We offer 2 different thread lifts in our practice: either the Silhouette Soft® thread lift or with Definisse threads.

How does thread lifting with Definisse threads work?

Definisse threads are a type of thread lifting threads that use the biodegradable material poly-L-lactic acid and poly-caprolactone (PLCL) to tighten facial contours and stimulate collagen production. These threads have special barbs that ensure a firm hold in the tissue and achieve an immediate lifting effect. The PLCL composition of the Definisse threads ensures a long-lasting effect of up to 18 months and also promotes collagen formation for a long-term improvement in skin structure.

How does thread lifting with Silhouette Soft® work?

Fine polylactic acid threads, on which mini cones are located, are inserted under the skin with a micro-needle. By anchoring the cones in the tissue, sagging cheeks and eyebrows can be pulled upwards, wrinkles smoothed and lost volume restored.

Silhouette Soft® is the only product on the esthetics market that combines the following effects:

  • A lifting effect for immediate but subtle results: Directly during the treatment, we can define the area in question by tightening and lifting the tissue using the small cones arranged on each half of the thread.

  • A volumizing effect for gradual natural results: By breaking down the thread material, polylactic acid, natural collagen production is stimulated, further improving the treatment area.

FAQs

Thread lifting is a minimally invasive method for skin tightening and facial rejuvenation that does not require surgery. During the procedure, special absorbable threads are inserted under the skin to gently lift the tissue while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production.

In the Silhouette Soft thread lift procedure, fine threads with small cones are inserted into the skin. These cones anchor themselves in the tissue, providing immediate tightening and lifting of sagging skin. At the same time, the material stimulates collagen production, which improves the skin’s structure over the long term.

A thread lift is particularly suitable for:

  • Cheeks and midface

  • sagging facial contours

  • Nasolabial folds

  • Marionette pleats

  • drooping eyebrows

  • slight sagging of the skin on the neck

The treatment is tailored to the unique contours of your face.

After a detailed consultation, the skin is numbed with a local anesthetic. The threads are then inserted under the skin using fine needles and carefully positioned. The procedure usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Thanks to the local anesthesia, thread lifts are generally well tolerated. During the procedure, you may feel a slight sensation of pressure.

The lifting effect is immediately visible, as the skin is lifted right away. The results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated.

The results typically last 12 to 18 months. Since the threads are biodegradable, they are gradually absorbed by the body, while the collagen production continues for a longer period.

After the treatment , you may experience mild swelling, redness, or small bruises. These usually disappear within a few days.

In the first few days after treatment, you should avoid making strong facial expressions, engaging in intense physical activity, and using saunas or tanning beds. Your doctor will provide you with further personalized recommendations.

The cost depends on the area being treated and the number of threads used.
Prices start at approximately €830 per treatment.

During a personal consultation, you will receive a personalized treatment and cost plan.

As this is a cosmetic treatment, the costs are not usually covered by health insurance companies.

At JUVENIS, thread lift treatments are performed exclusively by experienced aesthetic medicine specialists. Using precise techniques, high-quality materials, and personalized treatment plans, we achieve natural and harmonious results that gently rejuvenate your facial features.
