Skin Exosome Therapy

Results are temporary – typically in the range of 12 to 24 months, though this varies with the thread type used, your tissue quality, age and lifestyle. The effect diminishes gradually rather than ending abruptly. The procedure can be repeated after assessment. 

No. A surgical facelift repositions deeper structures and removes excess skin under anaesthesia, producing more significant and longer-lasting change. A thread lift offers a more modest, temporary improvement with a shorter recovery. Which is appropriate depends on your degree of laxity and your goals – discussed honestly at consultation. 

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain while threads are placed – pressure and pulling sensations are normal. Tenderness, tightness and swelling in the days afterwards are expected and usually managed with simple pain relief. 

Fees depend on the thread types and number required for your treatment plan, which is determined at consultation. All fees are itemised and provided in writing before you decide anything. Cosmetic procedures do not attract Medicare rebates. 

Most people take a few days away from work and social plans, with bruising and swelling settling over one to two weeks. Certain activity restrictions (exercise, sleeping position, facial pressure) apply for longer – full aftercare guidance is provided. 

No. Every thread lift at OJ Clinics begins with a consultation to assess suitability, discuss realistic outcomes and risks, and provide fees in writing – with time to consider before any procedure is booked. This is both required practice for cosmetic procedures in Australia and simply the right way to make a decision like this. 

Consultations are available to adults 18 and over. Suitability isn’t primarily about age – it’s about the degree of skin laxity, tissue quality, health and expectations, all assessed individually.
