Why Buy Lifting Threads from Kinami Health

We supply threads to clinics, aesthetic doctors and nurse prescribers who need reliable stock and consistent quality from batch to batch.

  • Genuine, traceable product. Every thread we ship is sourced through authorised distribution channels, CE-marked and supplied in original manufacturer packaging with intact batch and expiry details.
  • Wholesale pricing. Volume pricing is available across the full threads range. If you’re stocking a treatment room or running regular thread lift clinics, contact us for a wholesale quote on bulk orders.
  • The brands practitioners actually ask for. Intraline, Rainbow and Silhouette Soft — not white-label substitutes.
  • Fast, tracked delivery. Orders placed before the daily cut-off ship the same working day, with tracked delivery across the UK and Europe.
  • Practitioner support. Our team can help you match thread type, gauge and length to the technique and treatment area you’re working with.

Products on this page are supplied to qualified and licensed practitioners only. Account verification may be required before your first order.

Threads Product Range

Our threads catalogue is organised by material, so you can go straight to the profile that suits your technique and lift expectations.

By material

  • PDO Threads — the largest part of our range, covering Intraline mono, cog and spiral threads and Rainbow embossing threads. The standard choice for repositioning, tightening and collagen stimulation, with the widest selection of gauges and lengths.
  • PCLA Threads — Rainbow PCLA threads, a longer-lasting caprolactone copolymer option for practitioners who want extended duration over PDO.
  • PLA Threads — Silhouette Soft bidirectional cone threads, designed for immediate repositioning of facial tissue combined with progressive collagen stimulation.

By brand

  • Intraline — a full PDO system: mono, screw/spiral and barbed cog threads across multiple gauges and lengths.
  • Silhouette Soft — PLA threads with bidirectional cones, available in different cone counts for face and neck.
  • Rainbow — PDO embossing and PCLA threads, including moulded and cog configurations.

PDO vs PLLA vs PCL/PCLA: Which Thread to Choose

All three materials are absorbable and all three stimulate collagen — the difference is how quickly they break down and how much immediate lift they give.

PDO (polydioxanone) The most widely used thread material. PDO absorbs over roughly six to eight months, with the collagen response typically outlasting the thread itself. It’s the most versatile option and the one with the widest range of configurations, which makes it the usual starting point for practitioners building a thread offering.

PLLA / PLA (poly-L-lactic acid) A slower-absorbing material with a strong biostimulatory profile. In cone configurations such as Silhouette Soft, PLA combines immediate mechanical repositioning with a gradual collagen response over the following months.

PCL and PCLA (polycaprolactone / caprolactone copolymer) The longest-lasting of the three. PCL and PCLA threads break down more slowly than PDO, which extends the duration of both the mechanical support and the collagen stimulation — useful where a longer treatment interval is the goal.

Structure matters as much as material

  • Mono threads — smooth, single filaments used to tighten and stimulate rather than lift; usually placed in higher numbers across an area.
  • Screw / spiral threads — twisted around the needle for more volumising effect in a defined area.
  • Cog (barbed) threads — barbed along their length to grip tissue and reposition it, giving the strongest immediate lift. Available uni- and bidirectional.
  • Cone threads — bidirectional cones anchored along an absorbable suture, as in Silhouette Soft, for repositioning with less tissue trauma than barbs.

How Long Do Lifting Threads Last & What They Treat

Duration depends on the material, the configuration and the individual patient. As a general guide, PDO threads absorb over approximately six to eight months, with visible results commonly reported for around 12 to 18 months as the collagen response develops. PCL and PCLA threads absorb more slowly and are generally associated with longer-lasting results. PLA cone threads sit between the two, with the immediate lift visible from the treatment itself and the biostimulatory effect building over subsequent months.

Treatment areas

Face and neck: midface and cheek repositioning, jawline definition, jowls, nasolabial folds and marionette lines, brow lift, submental and neck laxity, perioral tightening.

Body: abdomen, inner arms, inner thighs, knees and buttocks, where mono and cog threads are used for skin tightening and mild repositioning.

Insertion Techniques

Threads are placed in the subdermal or subcutaneous plane using a cannula or needle, depending on the product and area.

  • Mono threads are typically inserted in a mesh, fan or parallel pattern using a fine needle, with the emphasis on even coverage rather than tension.
  • Cog threads are introduced through an entry point with a cannula or needle, advanced along a planned vector, then the tissue is repositioned against the barbs and the thread is anchored.
  • Cone threads such as Silhouette Soft are passed through a single entry point and tissue is gathered along the cones before trimming.

Vector planning, plane depth and entry point marking should be carried out before insertion. Thread lifting should only be performed by practitioners trained in the specific product and technique — most manufacturers, including those we supply, require product-specific training.

Side Effects & Safety

Thread treatments are minimally invasive but not risk-free. Commonly reported effects include bruising, swelling, tenderness and temporary dimpling or puckering at the entry points, usually settling within one to two weeks. Less common complications include thread visibility or palpability, asymmetry, migration or extrusion, prolonged pain along a vector, and infection at the insertion site.

Risk is reduced by correct patient selection, sterile technique, appropriate plane placement and realistic planning of vectors and thread numbers. All threads on this page are single-use, sterile and CE-marked, and are supplied for use by trained, licensed practitioners only. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use supplied with the product.
