It takes its name from the way the threads are placed, inspired by a spider's web in nature. The spider web technique addresses age-related wrinkles, sagging and fine lines.
How is the spider web technique performed?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia. Medical threads suitable for surgical use are placed beneath the skin in a web pattern using special needle tips. Small entry points are made with fine needles and the threads are advanced in a zigzag pattern. Placed in the problem areas, the threads create a lifting effect and encourage the body to produce collagen, which sets this method apart from other facelift treatments. Sagging skin is lifted for a livelier appearance.
Treatment areas
- Face
- Eyelids and the eye area
- Lips and the area around the mouth
- Under the chin and the double chin area
When Is It Preferred?
The spider web technique is used for people with mild to moderate sagging to make the face look livelier, more lifted and more youthful. It gives effective results in many areas that need tightening, such as the cheeks, jawline, eye area and neck. It is a good alternative for those who do not want surgery or time away from their social life and are looking for natural rejuvenation.
How Does the Procedure Work?
The treatment is performed under local anaesthesia and is very comfortable. Fine threads are placed beneath the skin to form a web-like structure. This encourages new collagen production, and over time the skin becomes firmer, brighter and more toned. You can return to daily life quickly; apart from a slight feeling of tightness, there is no notable discomfort.
After the Procedure
You can return to your normal routine shortly after treatment. In the first days the skin may feel slightly sensitive or tight, but this eases on its own. The simple aftercare steps recommended by your doctor support recovery and help the results settle well.
Is the Spider Web Technique Safe?
The PDO threads used are made of medically approved materials and are safely absorbed by the body over time. When performed by experienced specialists, the risk of complications is very low. Being a non-surgical technique also makes it much more comfortable.
Frequently asked questions
Is the spider web technique painful?
As it is performed under local anaesthesia, pain is minimal. You may feel slight pressure or tightness during the treatment, which most people tolerate very comfortably.
How long does the effect last?
Depending on your skin, age and lifestyle, results usually last between 1 and 2 years. As collagen production increases, the skin looks firmer and brighter during this time.
Are the results visible straight away?
A slight lift is visible immediately after treatment, but the real effect starts to appear within a few weeks. As collagen production continues, the skin renews itself and looks more toned.
Does it leave marks on the skin?
Fine cannulas are used, so no incisions are made and no scars remain. The entry points are very small and disappear completely within a few days.
Results vary from person to person. Whether this treatment is right for you is decided together with our specialist at your consultation.
