What Are Definisse™ Revitalise Threads?
Definisse™ Revitalise Threads are a next-generation, doctor-led biostimulation treatment for skin that is beginning to lose its firmness, density and radiance. Ultra-fine absorbable polymer threads — made from a material similar to the dissolvable sutures used in surgery — are gently placed beneath the dermis, where they act as a supportive scaffold that encourages your skin to regenerate its own collagen. Every treatment at our Twyford clinic is planned and carried out by our medical team following a full skin assessment.
The Science: How Biostimulation Works
As the threads are slowly and safely absorbed by the body, they prompt a natural healing response that stimulates fresh collagen — both Collagen Type 1 and Type 3 — along with elastin. This biostimulating action rebuilds the skin's supportive framework from within, improving elasticity and thickness rather than simply adding volume. The high-performance thread material is well tolerated and continues to encourage collagen production for up to 18 months, considerably longer than many other thread treatments.
Why Collagen Matters
From our mid-twenties onwards, the skin's ability to renew collagen falls by roughly 1–1.5% each year. As levels decline, the connective tissue becomes thinner and the elastic fibres weaken, leading to fine lines, deeper wrinkles, laxity and a duller complexion. Revitalise Threads target this underlying cause directly, helping to replenish what time naturally depletes.

Your Treatment Journey at Thames Aesthetics
1. Doctor-Led Consultation: We start with a thorough skin assessment with our medical team to understand your goals, confirm your suitability and identify the areas that will benefit most.
2. Bespoke Treatment Plan: Your practitioner designs a personalised plan, choosing the number and placement of threads to suit your individual anatomy and concerns.
3. The Procedure: Fine threads with an integrated cannula are placed just beneath the skin, and the cannula is then withdrawn — leaving the threads sitting invisibly below the surface. Treatment usually takes only 10–15 minutes, so many clients return straight to their day.
4. Aftercare & Review: You may notice mild bruising or tenderness for a few days, which settles quickly. We provide full aftercare guidance and welcome you back to review your progress as new collagen develops.
Results
In the weeks following your treatment, the skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother and more radiant as fresh collagen and elastin are generated. Results build progressively and look entirely natural, refining rather than altering your features.
Firming, densifying and plumping of the skin as collagen regenerates
Brighter, healthier-looking complexion with improved elasticity
Continued collagen stimulation (Type 1 and Type 3) for up to 18 months
Long-lasting, natural results with minimal downtime
As every face and body is different, your practitioner will advise on the ideal maintenance schedule to keep your skin looking its best.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are Definisse™ Revitalise Threads different from a thread lift?
They work in different ways. A traditional thread lift mechanically repositions and tightens tissue, whereas Definisse™ Revitalise Threads are biostimulating — they gently prompt your skin to regenerate its own collagen. Rather than pulling the skin tight, they gradually improve firmness, density and elasticity from within for a natural, refreshed result.
Which areas can be treated?
The threads can refresh a range of areas where the skin has started to lose firmness and elasticity, including the face, jawline, neck and body areas such as the abdomen. During your consultation, our medical team will confirm the areas best suited to your goals.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients find the treatment very comfortable. It is minimally invasive and carried out using fine cannulas, so any sensation is brief. The procedure itself usually takes only 10–15 minutes.
Is there any downtime?
There is little to no downtime. You may notice mild bruising, tenderness or slight swelling for a few days, but most people return to their normal routine straight away.
When will I see results and how long do they last?
Because the threads stimulate your own collagen, results develop gradually over the following weeks and continue to improve. Collagen stimulation can carry on for up to 18 months, and your practitioner will recommend a maintenance plan to help prolong your results.
Are the threads safe?
Yes. The threads are made from fully absorbable material with excellent biocompatibility — similar to the dissolvable sutures used in surgery — and are naturally broken down by the body over time. Every treatment is prescribed and performed by our medical team following a full assessment.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Definisse™ Revitalise Threads can be paired with complementary treatments at Thames Aesthetics to enhance hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality. Your practitioner will advise on the best combination to suit your goals.
