Save Face reports triple the number of complaints about thread lifts in 2022 compared to the previous year.

The digital landscape of social media is undeniably integrated into our every day; and as we find ourselves adapting and navigating our way through it, soaking up the trend-driven images, adverts and newest industry techniques, our time spent online is often considered a catalyst for the growing popularity of aesthetic treatments – not least when the transformative before and afters of revolutionary Thread-Lift procedures flaunt scroll-stopping results.

Thread-Lifts offer an effective solution – when performed by a highlytrained and regulated practitioner – to rejuvenate, lift and tighten the skin and add structure to areas such as the neck, jawline, mid-face and cheeks as well as around the eye area in a procedure that bridges the gap between non-invasive ‘tweakments’ and cosmetic surgery.

With the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Eva Mendez, the Duchess of York, Bella Hadid and the Kardashian-Jenner clan all known to have undergone ThreadLifts, it’s no wonder that uptake of the treatment is on the rise.

Though, as demand increases, industry standards dilute, and inadequately trained practitioners attempt to imitate results; advertising quick fixes that often undercut costs; undermine the complexity of the procedure; overlook stringent safety protocols; and covertly captivate patients into a false sense of security that can lead to serious complications. According to Save Face, a national register of accredited aesthetic practitioners who campaign for improved safety standards, complaints about Thread-Lift treatments almost tripled in 2022 compared with the previous year.
