THC LOCK THREAD LIFT
— Lifting Designed
Around Your Face
For cheeks that have started to sag, nasolabial folds that look deeper, and a jawline that is less defined than before. Dr. Saint first assesses the direction in which your face is sagging, then designs a personalized thread plan using the Hourglass Pattern — crisscrossing threads that may help support the SMAS layer and the skin in several directions. Recovery time is short.

Does Your Face Look More Tired Than You Feel?
Sagging usually starts gradually, as facial tissue slowly descends — until one day the mirror notices before anyone else does. See which of these sounds like you
-
Your cheeks have dropped, and the folds beside your nose and mouth show even when you are not smiling.
-
The jawline looks softer, the lower face sags, and jowls or a double chin show in profile.
-
The corners of your mouth turn down and marionette lines appear, so people ask if you are tired.
-
Your schedule is full, and you can only take a few days off to recover.
-
Nothing that looks tight, stiff or obviously “done” to the people around you.
THC Lock Thread Lift :
Designed First,
Then Lifted
What is a THC Lock thread lift?
THC Lock is a thread-lifting technique performed by Dr. Nattapol Suwannaboriraksa (Dr. Saint) at The Hourglass Clinic in Bangkok. It combines a personalized facial assessment, an Hourglass Pattern of crisscrossing threads, and two-layer anchoring to the SMAS at several points. Threads are placed under local anesthesia through small entry points hidden behind the hairline, with a short recovery period.

Personalized Design
Assessed Before It Is Planned
We look at your facial structure, fat distribution and the direction of sagging before designing your plan, so the result blends with your natural features. -

Hourglass Pattern
Crisscrossing Threads in an Hourglass Shape
Threads cross each other instead of running in parallel in one direction. This may help distribute the lifting force in several directions and lower the chance of dimpling. -

Bi - Directional Anchor Locking
Two-Layer Thread Anchoring
Threads are anchored in two layers to the SMAS at multiple points, which may help reduce thread movement or loosening. -

Minimal Invasive
Entry Points Hidden Behind the Hairline
No incisions on the face. This may help reduce bruising and visible scarring, shorten recovery, and let you get back to your normal routine.

From Consultation
to Aftercare :
The THC Lock
Thread Lift Process
-
The doctor examines your facial structure and the direction of sagging, explains your options and answers your questions before you decide.
-
The Hourglass Pattern is drawn on your face, and the reason for each line is explained before treatment begins.
-
During the procedure, most people feel only slight pulling or tightness.
-
Threads are placed along the planned lines. The procedure takes about 60–90 minutes.
-
The doctor schedules follow-up visits and gives aftercare advice for each stage of healing.
Typical Recovery Timeline
First 1–3 days : You may have swelling from the anesthetic, or tightness in the treated areas.
About 1 week : Swelling usually improves by around 50–70%, and most people return to work and normal routines.
1–3 months The face settles, and the body builds collagen around the thread lines.
*Recovery time varies from person to person.
Before You Decide
Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness or dimpling may occur, and usually improves on its own.
Tell your doctor if you take blood thinners or certain supplements.
Not suitable during pregnancy or if you have an infection on the face.
FAQ

-
The doctor applies local anesthesia before starting. During the procedure, most people feel only slight pulling or tightness. How it feels varies from person to person.
-
Recovery is short. Swelling, bruising or tightness is most noticeable in the first 1–3 days and usually settles over about a week. Most people return to work within that time, and the doctor gives you aftercare instructions.
-
It depends on the thread type, your skin condition and aftercare. The doctor will give you an estimated duration for the program that suits you at your consultation.
-
THC Lock focuses on lifting tissue back toward its position along your facial structure, rather than pulling the skin flat. Crisscrossing threads in several directions may help the result look natural.
-
Thread type and number are chosen for your facial structure and degree of sagging — not a fixed package. The doctor explains the reasoning behind the recommended plan at your consultation.
-
The price depends on the program and the number of threads that suit you. Consultation and facial assessment are free, or you can send photos on WhatsAPP for an initial assessment by the doctor.
-
You can come in for a consultation first and pay at the clinic, or book in advance by paying a deposit online.
-
No. A surgical facelift uses incisions to remove and reposition skin and tissue. A thread lift places medical threads under the skin through small entry points — with THC Lock, these are hidden behind the hairline — to help support sagging tissue, usually with a shorter recovery. The doctor can advise which option suits your degree of sagging.
-
We usually recommend staying in Bangkok for at least 7 days after treatment so the doctor can check your recovery at a follow-up visit.
-
Yes. Dr. Saint consults in English, and you can message us in English on WhatsAPP.
