Jawline and jowls
Loss of definition along the lower face, where the tissue itself has moved rather than simply aged in texture.

Without a scalpel.
Dissolvable sutures placed by a dermatologist to lift and support, with IPL to clear the pigment and redness that make skin read as tired. The non-surgical alternative when a facelift is not the answer.

What it addresses
When the issue is position,
When the issue is position,
not just surface.
Resurfacing improves skin quality. It does not lift. Where the concern is that features have descended, threading addresses position — and IPL handles the colour that resurfacing alone would leave behind.
Midface descent
Flattening through the cheek and deepening folds, the change that reads as tired regardless of skincare.
Pigment and redness
Sun spots, diffuse flush and broken capillaries — cleared with IPL so the lift is not undermined by uneven colour.
How it works
Sutures that lift,
Sutures that lift,
then dissolve.
PDO threads
Polydioxanone sutures placed under the skin to lift and support. The material is absorbed over months; the collagen response it provokes outlasts it.
Placed by the dermatologist under local anaesthetic.
IPL photofacial
Intense pulsed light targeting pigment and vascular colour — sun damage, brown spots and persistent redness.
Usually a short series rather than one visit.
Honest limits
Threading is a lift of degree, not a facelift. Where the tissue burden is beyond what threads can hold, you will be told that rather than sold a series.
Candidacy is decided at consultation.
Questions
Before you book.
Is a thread lift the same as a facelift?
No, and it should not be sold as one. Threading lifts by degrees and suits early to moderate descent. Where the change is more advanced, threads will underdeliver, and you should expect to be told so.
How long does it last?
The sutures themselves absorb over months. What persists is the collagen response around where they sat, so the effect fades gradually rather than ending on a date. Longevity varies with tissue quality and how much lift was needed.
What is recovery like?
Expect some swelling, tenderness and occasionally bruising for several days, and you will be asked to avoid heavy exercise and extreme facial movement briefly. IPL has minimal downtime by comparison.
Can I have both in one visit?
Sometimes, and sometimes they are better staged. That depends on how much threading is planned and how reactive your skin is, which is a judgement made at consultation.
What does it cost?
Threading is priced by the number of threads and the areas treated; IPL by area and session count. Written pricing is provided at consultation.

In their words
Patients of ReMEDI, MD
★★★★★
I lost 47 pounds on Wegovy but my arms and stomach looked 20 years older than I felt. One 4-hour visit at ReMEDI — and I finally look like who I am on the inside.
★★★★★
After raising three kids and hitting 52, I finally decided it was my turn. The results at 6 weeks left me speechless. I refer every woman I know.
★★★★★
Four hours. Home the same day. Seven days of recovery. Three weeks later my friends asked what I did differently. I look rested. I look like myself.
★★★★★
The consultation was thorough and honest. My quote was in writing before I left. No surprises. This is what medicine should feel like.
