Thread Lift
Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program
V-shape contouring for a slimmer, more defined lower face.
- What is Onyx V?
- onyx thread Program Lift is a non-surgical V-shape facial contouring procedure using PDO/PCL absorbable cog threads — barbed sutures placed beneath the skin that lift jowls, redefine the jawline, and elevate the chin angle. Results are visible after treatment; the threads dissolve naturally over 12-18 months while continuing to stimulate native collagen production.

Decision guides
Questions to answer before choosing
Compare options by concern, goal and recovery window, then confirm suitability during an individual physician assessment.
Program Thread Lift decision guide
Two questions to answer before choosing threads.
Thread type, position and amount should follow a doctor assessment of anatomy, prior procedures and the change you want assessed.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed course for everyone. A plan commonly starts with one assessed procedure and a review. Further treatment is considered only after healing, response and goals are reassessed.
A clear plan should include
- Doctor assessment and treatment-area map
- Thread choice and alternatives
- Written aftercare and warning signs
- A reachable follow-up route
About this treatment
/* AEO citation summary — generated by local Ollama. The comment here used to say it "falls back to description until populated", but the code rendered it unconditionally, ABOVE the human-written definition, on every service that had one: 18 pages showed a model paragraph and then the real copy underneath it. On 2026-09-22 all 44 of these summaries were read against their English for the first time. 27 were wrong — a nose thread lift described as ร้อยไหมนิ้วหัวนม, a picosecond laser described as radio waves, a patient called a blood recipient. So the fallback the comment always described is now what the code does: the summary shows only where there is no definition to show instead. Fourteen services still rely on it; the rest have better copy. */Key facts

Onyx threads are placed to redefine the V-line of the lower face — narrowing the jaw silhouette and lifting the chin angle for a more refined profile. The vectors run along the jawline and chin only, so it is a lower-face programme rather than a full-face lift: mid-face volume, eye area and neck are treated with different protocols.
It is usually planned as a multi-thread package (6 threads is the most commonly used) because a V-line needs symmetric tension on both sides. Best suited to patients whose main concern is a square or heavy lower face with mild jaw laxity.
Thread lift or Botox — which one is your question?
Ask what is causing the thing you see in the mirror. Skin and fat that have dropped with age are a mechanical problem, and a lifting thread is a mechanical answer: it is passed under the skin, catches tissue, and repositions it. Lines that appear when you move — frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead creases — are a muscle problem, and botulinum toxin is the muscle answer. The two are often done in the same visit for exactly that reason: they treat different causes on the same face.
Most people meet toxin first. It costs less, takes minutes, and wears off in three to four months, so a first decision is reversible by simply not repeating it. A lifting thread is a larger commitment in cost, in session length and in recovery, and it suits a face where the issue is descent rather than expression. Where both are true, physicians here usually treat the muscle first and reassess the sagging afterwards, because relaxing a pulling muscle changes how much lift the face actually needs.
- A jawline that has blurred and cheeks that sit lower than they used to
- Descent is mechanical, so the answer is mechanical: the thread catches tissue and holds it where it used to sit. No amount of muscle relaxation moves tissue that has dropped. Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program
- Full-face laxity rather than one area
- A programme planned around bone structure rather than a single vector, for a face where several regions have descended together. Grand Diamond Thread Lift Program
- Frown lines, crow’s feet or forehead lines that appear when you move
- These are made by muscle, not by sagging. Relaxing the muscle softens the line at its cause; a lift would not touch it. Wrinkle-Relax Injection Program
- The same expression lines, when you want the least committing way to try it
- Same class of treatment as the rest of the toxin group and the same entry price as the house Botox programme. Its value is not that it is cheaper — it is that toxin wears off, so a first decision is undone by simply not repeating it. Hutox Botulinum Toxin Type A (Korea) Program

Common questions
Real questions from real customers — answered by our physicians
How much does the Onyx thread lift cost?+
The Onyx V-Shape program starts from ฿25,000. Threads are placed to redefine the lower-face V-line — narrowing the jaw silhouette and lifting the chin angle. The doctor confirms the total after assessing your face.
How long does the Onyx thread lift last?+
Onyx uses combined PDO+PCL threads. They absorb over roughly 12–18 months, and the collagen they stimulated continues supporting the result afterward; most patients refresh once a year.
Onyx vs Grand Diamond — which should I choose?+
Onyx (from ฿25,000, ~60 minutes) focuses on the lower-face V-line — jaw contour and chin angle. Choose by whether your goal is the jawline specifically or the whole face.
What are the side effects of the Onyx thread lift?+
Expect some swelling, bruising or a pulling sensation for the first 3–7 days — temporary and self-resolving. Serious complications are uncommon when performed by a licensed doctor. Contact the clinic if pain increases, swelling persists, or you develop a fever.
What is the aftercare for the Onyx thread lift?+
Cold-compress for the first 48 hours, avoid facial massage and sleeping face-down for ~2 weeks, avoid wide mouth-opening or hard chewing for 1–2 weeks, and skip strenuous exercise and saunas for 2 weeks. Take prescribed medication as directed — and message the clinic anytime if unsure.
How much does Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program 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.
13 more questions+
Does Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program thread lifting have side effects?+
Swelling, bruising, tightness and tenderness in the treated area are common in the first 3–7 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 Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program thread lifting?+
Keep the entry points dry for 24 hours and avoid makeup for 6–8 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 — 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.
How many threads are in an ONYX package?+
ONYX is usually planned as a multi-thread contouring program, and a 6-thread package is the most commonly used. The right number depends on your facial structure and degree of laxity; the physician confirms it at consultation and gives you the total price before treatment.
Is Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program halal-friendly?+
PDO/PLLA absorbable threads are fully synthetic polymers (polydioxanone / poly-L-lactic acid). 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.
What happens during an Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program session?+
Mapping — Lower-face vector planning along the mandible. Placement — Barbed threads placed to compress and lift the lower-face soft tissue. Finish — Sculpt and review. A physician assesses your face first and sets the plan; what is done and where follows from that assessment.
Who is a good candidate for Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program?+
Generally considered for: Square or heavy lower face · Mild jowling · Patients seeking V-shape definition. Whether it suits you is decided by a physician at assessment, and there are people for whom it is not advised.
Does Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program hurt?+
Anaesthesia for this treatment: Topical + local. A session runs about 45 minutes. How much a person feels varies, and anything that concerns you is worth raising at assessment.
What is the recovery like after Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program?+
Downtime: None to minimal. That is the general case rather than a promise about you; ask your physician before planning anything that depends on the date.
How soon will I see results from Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program?+
A firmer, more defined lower-face outline after treatment, refining further as collagen responds over 4–8 weeks. Typically lasts 12–18 months. Timing and how much changes differ from person to person.
Do you run promotions or discounts on Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program?+
The prices published here are the clinic's standard prices. What a treatment actually costs depends on how much is used and on the plan a physician sets at assessment, rather than on a promotional rate.
How long does a Onyx V-Shape Thread Lift Program session take?+
About 45 minutes for the treatment itself, not counting the assessment and skin preparation beforehand.
How many sessions before I see results?+
A firmer, more defined lower-face outline after treatment, refining further as collagen responds over 4–8 weeks. Typically lasts 12–18 months.
