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. We were the first clinic 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. 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
Not yet ready for a surgical facelift?
The Infinite-Thread® Lift is minimally invasive and performed with non-cutting needles using specific technique techniques according to your features. This enables it to offer longer-lasting effects than absorbable threads. We have patients at the clinic who are happy even after 4 years. Other specialists around the world who have been performing this procedure for longer have presented data of patients being happy at 9 years.
Technique
The J-Lift Technique
Infinite-Thread® is made from ultra-resistant materials with over 800 carefully shaped and oriented notches, holding sagging tissues similar to those in a surgical facelift. The J-Lift Technique places 4 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. Sometimes we use a Deep-Plane Technique to support the SMAS layer.
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 latest techniques, 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.

The Infinite-Thread® Lift kicks this process into reverse, lifting sagging skin. 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.
