Overview
What is an Infinite-Thread® Lift?
This is not like the temporary, absorbable threads commonly available elsewhere, which offer short-term solutions. The Infinite-Thread® Lift is a no-scalpel facelift that uses permanent suspension threads and offers long-lasting rejuvenation of the face and neck. Its unique design tackles sagging skin, threading and repositioning the tissues on the face and neck, returning the skin to the way it was before the ageing process began. We were the first ones in the UK offering this treatment.

Benefits
Go home the same day
There are multiple benefits of the Infinite-Thread® Lift. As it’s a minimally invasive treatment, you’ll experience minimal downtime and as it is a non-surgical treatment, it is completely undetectable. An Infinite-Thread® Lift takes a couple of hours with local anaesthetic, so you can be back home on the same day, enjoying your more youthful look. Ordinary painkillers are all the post-treatment aftercare that you’ll need, and if any swelling is experienced, 80% of it goes down within a week.
The true alternative to surgery
Reassuringly reversible
The Infinite-Thread® Lift is minimally invasive and performed with non-cutting needles using a specific technique, the Parallel Technique. This enables it to offer the long-lasting effects of a surgical procedure without the risk of allergy, necrosis, nerve damage or scarring. Should you find that you have got used to your face looking a little older and change your mind, that’s fine—unlike surgery, an Infinite-Thread® Lift is 100% reversible. It’s possible to remove the thread easily and without any after-effects within the first month.
Technique
The Parallel Technique
Infinite-Thread® is made from ultra-resistant materials with over 800 carefully shaped and oriented notches, offering the same power to hold sagging tissues as a surgical facelift. The Parallel Technique places 3 threads on each side of the face in order to treat different areas, e.g. the malar zone, which is responsible for the collapse of the cheekbones and creation of nasolabial folds. They are also placed along the jawline to improve the appearance of jowls and marionette lines.
Treatment Areas
Infinite-Thread® Lift can be used to treat:
-
Lines & wrinkles
As people get older, their skin gets drier, thinner and less elastic. Then gravity pulls it downwards. As the sagging skin collects in different areas of the face, lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines start to form.

By lifting sagging tissues to their original position and holding them in place, the Infinite-Thread® Lift smoothens skin, reduces lines and wrinkles and restores vitality to your features.
The entry point of the thread is important; if done incorrectly, new and irreversible wrinkles and creases can be created. This is why the Infinite-Thread® Lift should only be performed by trained and certified doctors like those at Riverbanks.

Jowls
The term ‘jowls’ is often used to describe loose skin that hangs below your chin and jawline. Jowls are a sign of ageing but can also be caused by sun damage, genetics and lifestyle choices, e.g. smoking.

They cause a loss of definition in the face and can make you look permanently upset or angry.
The Infinite-Thread® Lift is a durable, non-surgical way of improving jowls. Using the Parallel Technique, we place threads along the jawline to lift loose tissues to their original position and hold them in place, smoothening and rejuvenating your appearance.

Sagging skin
Most people start to experience sagging skin between the ages of 35 and 40. A natural part of the ageing process, it occurs when internal and external factors start affecting the key molecules keeping the skin firm, hydrated and elastic.
keyboard_arrow_down Find out moreMost people start to experience sagging skin between the ages of 35 and 40. A natural part of the ageing process, it occurs when internal and external factors start affecting the key molecules keeping the skin firm, hydrated and elastic.
The Infinite-Thread® Lift kicks this process into reverse, lifting sagging skin with the power and potency of a surgical facelift. Ultra-resistant Infinite-Thread® is carefully and strategically placed to treat different areas and raise sagging or loose tissues to their original position, keeping them there.
It’s more effective than absorbable thread lifts and less risky and invasive than surgery.
