Answer: Thank you for your email enquiry.
I would like to invite you in for a consultation with one of our highly skilled practitioners. It is during this that they will assess your concerns and together, you will create a treatment plan to suit your needs.
Silhouette Soft® uses a double action effect to restore smoother and more toned skin, but also a shapelier face. To meet this requirement, Silhouette Soft® combines two effects: An immediate repositioning of the tissue and a gradual regeneration of collagen.
The repositioning effect is immediate and discreet. It is the result of tissue compression and skin elevation at the time of implanting the suture. After inserting the suture, the doctor applies slight pressure on the treated area. In this way, the doctor reshapes the contours of your face and makes it visibly smoother.
The regenerative effect is gradual and natural: polylactic acid (PLA), the principal component of Silhouette Soft® is a polymer known in the medical field for many years (suture thread, orthopedic pins, screws and nails for bone fractures are all made from PLA). It is because this polymer is particularly biocompatible with human beings, and also completely biodegradable, that such applications have been developed. Once the suture is applied, the polylactic acid acts on the deeper layers of the skin and naturally stimulates the body so that it produces its own collagen. This action, which continues over time, helps increase the volume of saggy areas and restores shapeliness to the face gradually and perfectly naturally.

Answer: Why Choose Dr Victoria for Thread Lifts?

Choosing a thread lift is as much about who performs it as the threads themselves. When done well, a thread lift should look subtle, balanced, and entirely natural—never obvious or overdone.

Dr Victoria brings a rare combination of deep anatomical knowledge, long-term clinical experience, and aesthetic restraint to every thread lift procedure.

With over 21 years in clinical practice, more than 42,000 aesthetic treatments performed, and over eight years’ experience specifically with thread lifts, she uses threads as a precision tool, not a trend-led solution. Her approach is rooted in understanding how faces age structurally—and when lifting is the right answer.

What truly sets Dr Victoria apart is patient selection. She is known for being honest and measured, recommending thread lifts only when they are genuinely likely to deliver a refined result. If threads are not the right option for your face, she will explain why—and guide you toward a more appropriate alternative.

Dr Victoria specializes in MINT™ PDO threads, which are designed for controlled lifting and tissue support rather than volume. These are used conservatively, with carefully planned vectors, to restore definition to areas such as the jawline and mid-face while preserving natural facial movement and expression.

Patients often choose Dr Victoria because they want to:

Look fresher, not “done”

Improve sagging without adding heaviness or filler

Avoid surgery while still achieving meaningful change

Be treated by someone who prioritises safety, ethics, and long-term facial harmony

As an experienced aesthetic trainer, Dr Victoria holds herself to the same standards she teaches: meticulous technique, realistic outcomes, and respect for the face in front of her.

Ultimately, her philosophy is simple: the best aesthetic work should be discreet, proportionate, and quietly confidence-boosting. That is exactly what she aims to deliver with every thread lift she performs.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for a MINT™ Thread Lift

A measured, realistic view—because outcomes depend far more on selection than on the thread itself.

The ideal candidate for a MINT thread lift is not someone chasing dramatic change, but someone at a specific point in facial ageing where lift is needed, yet surgery would be excessive.

In practical terms, this is a patient who looks slightly heavier, lower, or tired, rather than deflated.

They typically fall into the late 30s to early 60s age range, although biological age matters more than chronological age. Skin still has reasonable elasticity, but early gravitational descent is evident—most often around the jawline, jowls, and mid-face.

These patients usually present with mild to moderate laxity, not excess skin. The tissues can still be repositioned and held, which is essential for threads to work well. Once laxity becomes advanced or skin quality is very poor, threads are simply being asked to do a job they are not designed to do.

The best candidates want lift, not volume. They may already have filler on board and instinctively feel that adding more is no longer the answer. Often they say they feel their face looks “heavy” rather than hollow. For these patients, structural support and repositioning is exactly what is missing.

They also tend to be people who value natural-looking results. A MINT thread lift suits patients who want to look fresher and more defined, without an obvious or overdone outcome. It is not a treatment for those expecting a surgical facelift effect.

Equally important is mindset. Ideal candidates understand that this is a minimally invasive procedure with limits. They accept that results are subtle but meaningful, that improvement continues over months, and that longevity is finite rather than permanent.

By contrast, patients with very heavy lower faces, significant excess skin, extremely thin or fragile dermis, or unrealistic expectations are not good candidates. In these cases, threads often disappoint—not because they are ineffective, but because they were the wrong tool.

The quiet truth with MINT threads is this: when used on the right face, at the right time, they can be genuinely elegant. When used too late, or too aggressively, they are unfairly blamed for failing to deliver something they were never designed to provide.

MINT Threads vs Other PDO Threads

Thread lifts have been around long enough now that we can separate marketing noise from clinical reality. Not all PDO threads are created equal, and lumping them together does patients—a disservice. The differences matter, particularly when the goal is lift, not just “skin improvement”.

Let’s break it down.

1. MINT Threads: Built for Lift and Longevity

MINT (Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread) threads sit at the more robust end of the PDO spectrum. They are moulded, not cut, which is a crucial distinction.

Barbs are deep, bi-directional, and moulded into the thread rather than sliced out. This preserves the integrity of the core thread and gives higher tensile strength, meaning they are less likely to snap or lose grip over time. Their purpose is true tissue repositioning, not just collagen stimulation.

In practical terms, this means MINT threads can physically move tissue and hold it, particularly in areas like the jawline, jowls, and mid-face. Results are immediate, with the added bonus of collagen stimulation over the following months.

This is why MINT threads are often favoured by experienced practitioners when structural lift is required rather than superficial tightening.

2. Standard Cog PDO Threads: Variable and Operator-Dependent

Traditional cog threads are widely available and vary enormously in quality so cheap is an indication of a poor quality product and low skilled provider.

Their barbs are often cut rather than moulded, which weakens the thread by removing material. This results in lower tensile strength and a higher chance of breakage, asymmetry, or early loss of lift.

Some can perform reasonably well in skilled hands and carefully selected patients, but they tend to offer less predictable longevity. Many early disappointments with thread lifts can be traced back to these designs being pushed beyond what they are realistically capable of delivering.

They can lift, but usually less, and for a shorter period of time.

3. Mono PDO Threads: Skin Quality, Not Lift

Mono threads are smooth, single filaments with no barbs at all.

Their role is collagen stimulation and mild skin tightening. Over time, they can improve texture, firmness, and fine lines, but they have no lifting capacity whatsoever.

They are best thought of as a skin rejuvenation treatment rather than a lifting one. Marketing them as a “thread lift” is misleading. No amount of mono threads will reposition jowls.

4. Screw and Tornado Threads: Volume-Light, Lift-Light

Screw or twisted threads sit somewhere between mono threads and cog threads.

They provide mild volumisation and collagen induction, with subtle plumping in areas such as fine lines or early folds. Any lifting effect is minimal.

They can be useful in very select cases, but they are not a substitute for a true lifting thread.

The Honest Bottom Line

If your concern is skin quality, many PDO threads can help.
If the concern is sagging, the options narrow quickly.

MINT threads stand out because they are engineered for lift, not because they are fashionable. That does not make them suitable for everyone, but when they are used on the right patient, by an experienced medically qualified clinician, with conservative vector planning, the results can be quietly impressive rather than shouty.

And that, arguably, is exactly what good aesthetic medicine should aim for.


As an experienced aesthetic trainer, Dr Victoria holds herself to the same standards she teaches: meticulous technique, realistic outcomes, and respect for the face in front of her.

Ultimately, her philosophy is simple: the best aesthetic work should be discreet, proportionate, and quietly confidence-boosting. That is exactly what she aims to deliver with every thread lift she performs.

Prices typically range from £400 to £2,500, reflecting the fact that no two faces—and no two treatment plans—are the same. The final cost depends on a number of factors, including your age, skin quality, facial structure, and what you would like a thread lift to achieve, as well as the expected longevity of the result and whether any adjunctive treatments are recommended to optimise or support your outcome.
