Transparent information about thread lifting.
The gentle alternative to a facelift.
Thread lifting is an innovative anti-aging treatment that allows you to effectively tighten the skin without surgery or a scalpel. This minimally invasive method is based on the use of special, absorbable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), which are placed under the skin to achieve targeted tightening and contouring in the treated areas for a more youthful appearance. The thread lift can be performed with a minor procedure of short duration and can be repeated several times.
As a minimally invasive anti-aging method, thread lifting offers an attractive alternative to the traditional facelift, a surgical procedure in which excess skin is removed and the tissue is tightened. In contrast to a thread lift, a facelift requires a more extensive procedure with anesthesia and a longer recovery time, which makes the method particularly attractive for patients with advanced skin aging.

The procedure of a thread lift.
Your individual and painless way to firmer skin.
The personal consultation with Dr. Berkei for an anti-aging treatment with thread lifting is an essential step on the way to an individual and successful treatment result. The anti-aging experts at Dr. Berkei’s practice take the necessary time to understand your needs and expectations in a sensitive manner. Based on their specialist knowledge, many years of experience and empathy, they will work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Dr. Berkei and her team attach particular importance to creating an atmosphere of trust in which you feel comfortable and can talk openly about your concerns.
The innovative skin analysis with the VISIA scan prior to a thread lift enables a comprehensive assessment of the skin condition, which forms the basic foundation of a successful thread lift treatment and enables professional treatment planning. With the help of high-resolution cameras and special lighting, a detailed analysis of key skin parameters such as wrinkles, pore size, pigmentation and texture is carried out. This makes it possible to target the relevant skin conditions and achieve optimum results. The analysis provides objective data on the condition of the skin and serves as a basis for informed decision-making when choosing the right treatment for you. It is only through the use of this state-of-the-art technology that a precise diagnosis is possible, so that a treatment tailored to your personal skin needs is available.
Dr. Berkei’s thread lift is a minimally invasive anti-aging method that enables an effective lift without surgery. Since it is not an operation, a thread lift for gentle skin tightening is performed on an outpatient basis in Dr. Berkei’s practice in Frankfurt. To begin with, an anesthetic cream is applied to the area to be treated so that the thread lift can be performed painlessly. After the anesthetic cream has been left to work for about 30 minutes, the lift begins with the insertion of the thread through a micro-needle into the subcutaneous fatty tissue. The thread is either smooth or has small barbs or cones. The barbs anchor the thread in the tissue so that the treating physician can model the corresponding body area for skin tightening. The result of the thread lift is immediately visible. This gives you the opportunity to incorporate your personal wishes, which is an enormous advantage over surgery under general anesthesia. The thread lift is a painless procedure that leaves no scars as the skin is only treated with tiny needle punctures.
Optimal care and aftercare for the best results.
The aim of Dr. Berkei and her anti-aging experts is to offer you long-lasting results. At the same time, thread lifting offers you a comfortable treatment with quick results that make your skin appear firmer and smoother. To ensure your satisfaction and the best possible results, Dr. Berkei has developed the “B Safe” concept, which defines individual aftercare and safety measures for each treatment. If the instructions are followed carefully, the results of a thread lift will last up to 12 months. You will be informed personally during your treatment in our practice about the ideal aftercare so that you can benefit from the treatment for as long as possible.
Care and aftercare after a thread lift
Cool the area treated during the thread lift several times a day for 5-10 minutes on the day of treatment.
Keep your head elevated when sleeping and sleep on your back for the first 2-3 days after treatment.
Gently clean the affected area and do not rub the skin. Be careful when applying make-up, shaving and washing for the first 5 days after the thread lift.
Avoid sunbathing, tanning salons and saunas for 14 days after the thread lift. Use sun protection cream with factor 50.
Do not exercise for 5 days after the treatment and avoid strenuous activities or excessive movement of the treated body areas.
