Gentle Skin Tightening Without a Scalpel
Thread lifting at Dermanence Zurich – for a fresher appearance without surgery. The gentle method tightens sagging skin areas and stimulates collagen production – with an immediately visible effect and short recovery time. Ideal for early signs of skin aging on the face, neck, or eyebrows.
Thread lifting is a contemporary, minimally invasive technique for skin tightening and facial rejuvenation – all without surgery. Special, fully dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin to specifically lift sagging areas and stimulate collagen production. The result: a naturally refreshed appearance with tightened contours – without downtime.
In a thread lift, bioresorbable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) are placed under the skin. These threads are either smooth or have tiny barbs that can lift and reposition the tissue. At the same time, they stimulate the body's own collagen production, leading to long-term tightening.
The thread lift is particularly suitable for women and men between about 35 and 55 years old who notice the beginning of skin sagging – for example, on the cheeks, jawline, neck, or eyebrows – but do not yet want surgical tightening. It is ideal for individuals seeking a fresh but subtle result with quick recovery.
The thread lift is performed on an outpatient basis, after applying a numbing cream or under local anesthesia. The threads are introduced into defined skin layers with a fine cannula and anchored there. Depending on the desired effect and the area to be treated, different types of threads and techniques are used. The treatment usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and cooling afterward supports regeneration.
The lifting effect is immediately visible but continues to improve in the following weeks as collagen formation is stimulated. The effect typically lasts 12 to 18 months – depending on skin condition, lifestyle, and thread type. A thread lift can be repeated at any time if needed or combined with other procedures such as F
If you are not sure which aesthetic treatments are best suited to your individual needs, we recommend a no-obligation consultation with one of our dermatologists. The consultation costs CHF 100 and takes about 20 minutes. This amount will be deducted from the cost of your aesthetic treatment. The consultation costs and aesthetic services must be paid directly on site after the procedure. In order to be able to assess your facial skin in the best possible way, please come to the aesthetic consultation without make-up.
The following payment conditions apply to so-called self-pay services, which are not covered by TARMED and are therefore not covered by health insurance: 30 days total amount, or the option to make partial payments of your choice with attractive interest rates (minimum payment 5% of the outstanding amount per month). In case of insufficient creditworthiness, no invoice can be issued and the amount is due immediately after the treatment on site. If necessary, creditworthiness can be clarified in advance.
Appointments that have already been made can be canceled free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment. Please inform us by phone, email, Whatsapp or a voice message on the answering machine. To cancel an appointment booked online, use the cancel button in the confirmation email. If an appointment is canceled less than 24 hours before the appointment or not canceled at all (no-show), the patient is liable for compensation. If a treatment can no longer be carried out due to a patient delay, the obligation to pay compensation also applies.
