Emerald is a molding-cog thread lift using 3D multi-directional barbed absorbable threads. The molding-cog design anchors the SMAS layer more securely than smooth threads, producing a firmer lift along the cheek, jawline and jowl while stimulating Type I and Type III collagen as the threads gradually absorb over 12โ€“18 months.

It sits between entry threads and the full-face Grand Diamond protocol โ€” a focused lift for the lower-third of the face.

Common questions

Real questions from real customers โ€” answered by our physicians

What's the difference between Emerald molding-cog threads and Onyx or Grand Diamond?+
Emerald (from เธฟ39,000) uses molding-cog threads that grip and reposition sagging tissue for stronger sculpting than spot threads. Onyx (from เธฟ129,000) focuses on the lower-face V-line; Grand Diamond (from เธฟ120,000) is the full-face protocol covering every vector.
How long does an Emerald molding-cog thread lift last?+
Emerald threads dissolve over about 12โ€“18 months while stimulating collagen; most patients refresh after a year to 18 months.
How much swelling should I expect after Emerald threads?+
Mild swelling or bruising for 3โ€“5 days is normal. Avoid wide mouth-opening, facials and heavy exercise for about two weeks.
How many Emerald threads are included and what does it cost?+
Emerald molding-cog lifts start from เธฟ39,000; the doctor confirms the number of threads for your face and goals at consultation.
How is Emerald different from Grand Diamond?+
Emerald is a focused lower-face/jawline lift; Grand Diamond is a higher-coverage, multi-vector full-face protocol. Your physician advises based on the degree and area of sagging.
Is it painful?+
Discomfort is mild with local anaesthesia โ€” most patients describe pressure rather than pain.
6 more questions+
When can I return to work?+
Most patients return the next day. Avoid strenuous exercise and facials for 14 days.
How much does Emerald Molding Cog Thread Lift thread lifting cost?+
The price depends on the thread type, the number of threads and the area treated. The starting price is shown on this page; at your consultation the physician assesses how many threads suit your facial structure and gives you the full price in writing before anything begins.
Does Emerald Molding Cog Thread Lift thread lifting have side effects?+
Swelling, bruising, tightness and tenderness in the treated area are common in the first 3โ€“7 days and are a normal tissue response. Dimpling, unevenness or thread migration are uncommon and can usually be corrected. Contact the clinic promptly if you have severe pain, unusual redness or swelling, fever or discharge. Side effects and suitability vary by individual, and the physician assesses you beforehand.
How should I care for my skin after Emerald Molding Cog Thread Lift thread lifting?+
Keep the entry points dry for 24 hours and avoid makeup for 6โ€“8 hours. Avoid facial massage, wide mouth-opening and firm pressure for about 2 weeks so the threads settle. Avoid heat, sauna and facial treatments for at least 2 weeks, and alcohol for 1 week. Sleep with your head slightly raised, use a cold compress if swollen, take any prescribed medication and attend your follow-up.
How many threads will I need โ€” and is the listed price the total?+
The number of threads depends on your facial structure, the degree of laxity and your goals. The price shown here is a starting price, not the final price for every case. The physician confirms the thread count at consultation and gives you the total before treatment begins.
Is Emerald Molding Cog Thread Lift halal-friendly?+
Molding-cog absorbable threads are fully synthetic polymers (polydioxanone / polycaprolactone). No animal-derived components, no alcohol. If you avoid animal-derived materials, this treatment is open to you. Tell the physician at consultation and the specific product and lot used on the day can be confirmed with you. This reflects the ingredients used, not a halal certification.
