— Facial treatment · Barcelona

Thread lift
in Barcelona.

Dr. Bermejo Pérez · Reg. no. 63226

Non-surgical mechanical repositioning of facial tissue. For when gravity can no longer be offset by volume alone and a real, immediate and lasting lift is needed.

Book your free consultationHow I do it →

In short

Absorbable lifting threads reposition tissue and stimulate collagen without surgery. A 45–60 minute session, minimal downtime and results lasting 12–18 months. Price: from €250. Treatment is performed by Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez, a registered aesthetic physician (COMB no. 63226), at Clínica Sagrada Família, Barcelona.

Dr. Bermejo explains how lifting threads reposition tissue and who they are right for.

Medical judgement

“Threads don't fill or paralyse. They reposition. It's the difference between restoring what has dropped and covering it with volume that was never there.”
Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez

Anatomy · Thread lift

Reposition, don't stretch.

01
Lifting vectors

Threads are placed along the natural direction of lift.

02
Cheek and jawline

They reposition tissue that has descended.

03
Local anaesthetic

A small entry prick; the sensation is minimal.

They don't replace a surgical facelift: suitability depends on the degree of laxity.

What it treats

What do lifting threads improve?

Thread lift: descended cheek tissue (illustration)
01

Descended cheek tissue

When cheek tissue drops, pulling the nasolabial folds and lower face with it, fillers may not be enough. Threads mechanically lift the tissue — the effect is immediate and visible from day one.

Thread lift: loss of jawline and jowls (illustration)
02

Loss of jawline and jowls

Loss of definition along the jaw and the appearance of jowls — tissue gathering at the sides of the chin — is one of the most common reasons for threads. The mechanical lift redefines the jawline without surgery or significant downtime.

Thread lift: alongside HIFU in moderate laxity (illustration)
03

Alongside HIFU in moderate laxity

In some patients laxity is moderate but HIFU alone isn't enough. Threads and HIFU can be combined — HIFU stimulates deep collagen and threads give the immediate mechanical repositioning HIFU can't.

Thread lift: regenerative collagen effect (illustration)
04

Regenerative effect through collagen stimulation

Lifting threads are absorbable — the body gradually absorbs them over 12–18 months. Along the way they stimulate collagen along their path, adding a regenerative effect to the lift. The result doesn't disappear suddenly when the thread is absorbed.

The practical side

How long do they last, what is the 
recovery and how much do they cost?

Everything you need to know before your consultation. No small print.

How long it lasts
12–18months

The thread is absorbed gradually. The collagen stimulated along the way extends the effect beyond absorption.

Session time
45–60min

Including local anaesthetic, insertion and checking the immediate result.

Recovery
Minimal

Possible bruising or mild swelling for 48–72 h. We recommend avoiding exaggerated facial movements and pressure on the area for the first few days.

It depends on the number of threads needed and the areas treated. It is set at the assessment.

How it works · Thread lift

Tiny cones that hold.

01
Absorbable thread

Placed in the subcutaneous tissue and absorbed over time.

02
Anchoring cones

They hold the tissue in place.

03
Collagen around it

The thread itself stimulates the skin as it is absorbed.

Who it's for

Who is it right — and who is it not for?

A good candidate

It is a good fit if…

  • Your cheek tissue has dropped and filler is no longer enough to compensate
  • You have loss of jawline definition or early jowls
  • You want an immediate, visible lift
  • You want to complement HIFU with mechanical repositioning
  • Your laxity is mild or moderate — not severe
Better to wait or consider another option

I don't recommend it if…

  • You have very severe laxity — surgery gives a more predictable result
  • Your skin is very thin — the thread could be visible under the skin
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have an active infection or cold sore in the area

Not sure if it's for you? That is exactly what the consultation is for: I'll tell you honestly what I see.

Free first visit · no commitment

I look at your whole face, not just one area.

In the consultation we look at the proportions of your face, talk about what you want and set the goals together. If you don't need treatment, I'll tell you that too.

How much does a thread lift cost in Barcelona?

The guide price starts at €250. It depends on the number of threads needed and the areas treated, and is set at the assessment. The first consultation is free. You can see all fees on the prices page.

Where is it done and who does it?

At Clínica Sagrada Família, C/ Torras i Pujalt 1 (3rd floor), Barcelona. It is performed personally by Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez, registered physician no. 63226.

Do lifting threads hurt?

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic — the main discomfort is the anaesthetic injection. Once the area is numb, insertion is well tolerated. You may feel some tension or pressure while lifting, which disappears immediately.

Is the result immediate?

Yes. The repositioning is visible straight away. For the first 48–72 hours swelling may slightly change the look — the final result is visible after a week, once the swelling settles.

How long do threads last?

The thread is absorbed gradually over 12 to 18 months. The effect doesn't disappear suddenly — the collagen stimulated along the way extends the result. Many patients keep a visible improvement beyond absorption.

Are they reversible?

They aren't reversible like hyaluronic acid, but they are absorbable — the body removes them naturally. If the result isn't what you expected, the effect fades gradually until the thread is fully absorbed.

Can they be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Threads are often combined with HIFU — HIFU stimulates deep collagen and threads give the immediate mechanical lift. They're also compatible with fillers and biostimulators. The order and interval between treatments are decided at the assessment.

Is there any downtime?

Minimal. For the first 48 hours we recommend avoiding exaggerated facial movements, pressure on the area and heat. There may be some bruising or swelling — you can wear make-up the next day. Within 3–5 days most patients are back to completely normal life.

What if the thread can be felt under the skin?

In expert hands and with the right patient selection, this doesn't happen. The risk is higher in very thin skin — which is why that is a relative contraindication. If it did happen, the thread is absorbed naturally within a few months.
