At Beauty by Doctor in Sydney, our team focuses on minimally invasive treatment approaches. Elasticum thread lifts use specially designed threads to support tissue positioning while encouraging collagen development over time. This approach aims to maintain natural facial movement without creating a rigid appearance.
Elasticum threads differ from traditional PDO (polydioxanone) threads. They consist of an elastic silicone core with a polyester outer layer. The silicone component provides flexibility, while the polyester component contributes to structural support. This allows the threads to adapt to facial movement while providing internal reinforcement.
The threads are placed beneath the skin through small entry points. Once positioned, they are adjusted to support targeted areas. Over time, collagen forms around the threads, contributing to ongoing structural support. This approach combines mechanical support with biological stimulation.

How Elasticum Thread Lift Works
Elasticum thread lift provides both immediate structural support and gradual collagen stimulation. The threads assist in repositioning tissue, while collagen production develops over several months.
Treatment characteristics may include longer-term structural support compared to traditional threads, support for areas affected by skin laxity, stimulation of collagen production, maintenance of natural facial movement, recovery that varies between individuals, and a personalised treatment approach based on facial anatomy.

Areas of Treatment
Elasticum thread lift may be used across multiple areas depending on individual assessment. These may include the jawline and lower face, mid-face including cheeks, and brow or forehead regions.

Treatment Process
A consultation is conducted to assess suitability and discuss treatment goals. The procedure is performed in clinic and typically takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
Small entry points are created and a local anaesthetic or twilight sedation may be used to manage discomfort. The threads are then inserted and positioned to support the targeted areas.
Following treatment, temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur. These effects generally settle over several days. Aftercare instructions may include sleeping with the head elevated and limiting excessive facial movement during early recovery.

Risks and Safety
All medical and cosmetic procedures carry risks. Common temporary effects may include swelling, tenderness, or bruising.
Less common risks may include asymmetry, thread visibility or movement, or infection. These risks are discussed during consultation.
Elasticum threads are designed to be biocompatible. Your clinician will explain potential risks and expected outcomes prior to treatment.

How Long Do Results Last?
Elasticum threads are designed to provide longer-lasting structural support compared to traditional PDO threads, which typically last 12 to 18 months. Longevity varies among individuals, however results may last several years.
Maintenance treatments may be considered over time. Some patients may combine this treatment with other modalities such as volumising injectables, muscle-relaxant treatments, or skin-focused therapies, depending on clinical assessment.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
An Elasticum thread lift may be suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity seeking non-surgical treatment options.
Suitability is determined during consultation, where your clinician will assess your skin, medical history, and treatment goals to develop an appropriate plan.
