ILK offers thread lifting with two distinct systems: absorbable Mezonit threads for localised lifting and collagen stimulation, and Aptos Nite 3D barbed threads for a more comprehensive mini-facelift effect. Mezonit threads are inserted via thin needles and stimulate a gradual collagen envelope around each thread as they dissolve over 6–8 months, maintaining lift.

Both procedures take approximately 30 minutes under local anaesthetic and produce an immediate visible improvement with zero required recovery time.
