No, a thread facelift does not hurt in the least. It’s a non-surgical facelift which means no cuts or incisions are made into the skin. Local anaesthesia is also administered before the procedure to numb the face, and then the thread lift is performed by injecting the thread under the layer of visible skin. It is a low-risk procedure, and patients can also receive oral sedation if they are more sensitive to pain, but overall, it is not painful. Patients rarely ever complain about experiencing severe pain after the procedure.
