Aftercare advice
Thread lift: before and after treatment
Advice before and after treatment with threads.
General advice – the nurse will give you personal advice tailored to your treatment.
Before treatment
- Tell us about any medicines (especially blood thinners), allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding, herpes and previous treatments.
- Come without make-up in the area to be treated, and with freshly washed skin.
- Avoid alcohol the day before and on the day unless otherwise agreed.
- Avoid supplements and medicines that increase the tendency to bleed, if your doctor allows it.
After treatment
- Sleep on your back with your head slightly raised for the first few nights.
- Avoid big yawns/facial expressions and dentist visits for the first few weeks.
- Avoid exercise, sauna and massage of the area for 2–4 weeks or for as long as the nurse recommends.
- Keep an eye on the area and keep it clean.
This is normal
- Swelling, tenderness and bruising for 1–2 weeks; a feeling of tightness.
- Small bumps may be felt and normally even out.
