Thread Lift
Enjoy naturally rejuvenated, instantly lifted skin with the removal of fine lines and with more sculpted definition.
RegenALift provides two categories of improvement: Skin Regeneration and Face Lifting. They can be used on their own or in synergy to complement each other. The result is a safe and effective, premium quality product for naturally rejuvenated skin.
PDO threads are popular because they can provide:
- Instant lifting – achieved mechanically
- Cell renewal – through collagenesis it will reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve the texture, firmness and thickness of the skin
- Lipolysis – contracting and reducing fat cells to sculpt and define
What is RegenALift?
PDO thread is a durable synthetic bio-resorbable filament used in the medical field for more than 40 years. They are a suture of choice in cardiology, plastic surgery and gynaecology mainly because of its unparalleled safety record with its ability to dissolve, entirely after 7 to 8 months leaving no residue. It is precisely this increased safety that is at the core of the appeal of PDO threads in the aesthetic industry. PDO thread lifts offer long-lasting results that can last between 12 to 18 months. While the introduction of PDO threads in the aesthetic industry is reasonably recent, its rising popularity has made it something of a staple with the cosmetic doctors.
Facial Ageing
The face is the most defining aspect of a person. Facial ageing reflects the cumulative effects of time on the skin, underlying tissue and bone. Changes caused by both intrinsic/chronological ageing and extrinsic factors such as UV exposure and lifestyle choices.
Cause
- Loss of collagen and elastin
- Decreased cross linking between fibroblasts and collagen fibrils
- Lipoatrophy
- Subcutaneous fat redistribution
- Ligament weakening
- Craniofacial bony resorption and remodelling
The threads work at three levels:
Thread anchor points hold the tissue and provide lifting when tensioned.
Mechanical stimulation of the cells in the skin (mechanotransduction) via insertion of threads into the dermis or
subcutaneous tissue.
Via the biomedical properties of the PDO which, as the threads dissolve, promote the generation of collagen to
maintain the lifting effect and improve skin tone.
Effect
- Loss of skin thickness and elasticity, sagging and relative excess of skin
- Wrinkling
- Hollowing of periorbital, malar and temporal regions
- Skin laxity
- Reduced support for soft tissues, deepening of nasojugal, nasolabial and nasomental creases
- Reduced skeletal projection and support

BEFORE + AFTER:
What To Expect After Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment
- Immediately after treatment with platelet rich plasma (PRP), the treated area might get slightly swollen and red; this typically fades in a 30 min.
- Bruising is possible, however if advice on vitamin regimen is taken as recommended the risks are minimal. In case any bruising occur Arnica cream can be helpful.
- Treatment with Kornelia is relatively painless due to her skills and if needed can be treated with ice compress.
- You should not touch your face or sweat for 6 hours after the treatment.
- Avoid sauna, steam and sun bed for three days.
- Any drugs or therapy resulting in immune suppression
- No laser or any other needling treatments for the next 6 weeks
Down-time
Since Ultherapy® is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment, recovery time is minimal. There may be some minor redness, swelling or a feeling of tightness in the hours after the treatment. Your nurse practitioner will give you more thorough information about what to expect after Ultherapy®.
Costs
There are multiple sites that Ultherapy® can benefit and each treatment is fully personalised, therefore a consultation is the best first step to establish how Ultherapy® will work best for you.
Costs for Ultherapy® treatments typically start at around £1,000.
Appointment Time
Depending on the number of areas you are choosing to have treated, appointments typically last between 30 and 90 minutes.
The Ultherapy® treatment takes place in our specialist aesthetics clinic in Marylebone.
Refresh Time
One of the great things about Ultherapy® is the results continue to develop for 3 - 4 months after the treatment and the effects are visible for up to two years. We strongly recommend a refresh appointment every 12 months to maintain optimum results.

What our Patients SAY
"...looks so natural..."
"Karolina and her injectable fillers give a lift that looks so natural. The before and after photographs look remarkable but I still feel like I look like 'me'. She takes the time to explain every step and why she feels it would be best for me. I trust her fully as she has such a good eye! I've been seeing her for almost five years and look forward to every visit!"
"...never ceases to amaze me..."
"I have all my injectables done with Helen and am genuinely always so pleased with my results each time. Her ability to listen to my needs deliver natural results whilst maximising my features to look their best never ceases to amaze me. I have nothing but praise for Helen I tell all my friends about her!"
"...nothing but confidence ..."
"Karolina is professional, approachable and very easy to talk to. I go to her for my under-eye as well as cheek filler and each time her work has been amazing. She makes sure we talk thorough about what we are trying to achieve and keeping it looking natural. I have nothing but confidence in Karolina as I know the results will be outstanding."
"...honest and realistic.."
"I have been seeing Helen for almost a decade, and over this time have had various treatments from Ultherapy and various injectable fillers to combat the ravages of time. Helen has a great eye, is subtle in her approach to injectables and always stays up to date with new techniques and treatments. I trust her implicitly with my face - not only because she is skilful, but also because she is honest and realistic about options and results, and she has never let me down"
"...the results speak for themselves.."
"I've been seeing Helen for injectables for as long as I can remember. She really takes the time to get to know you and how your face is constructed.
She practices the utmost in hygiene and ensures any discomfort is minimal. The results speak for themselves.
I've had people comment on how well rested and radiant I look - never obvious, never overdone. I wouldn't go anywhere else!"
