Threading Treatment Options
Medical & Non-Surgical Approaches
- Threading sits between fillers and surgery. Fillers restore volume but dont lift tissue. Skin tightening devices improve quality but dont reposition tissue. Surgery gives the most dramatic result but with downtime and risk. Threads offer a middle ground but expectations need to be realistic. Often best used as part of a combination plan rather than standalone hero treatment. ([cadoganclinic.com](https://www.cadoganclinic.com/cosmetic-treatments/thread-lift/))
