Q LIFT
A transformative vertical facelift using permanent spring threads for long lasting lift
The Q Lift is an advanced, non surgical keyhole facelift developed by Dr Q. It uses permanent suspension spring threads to lift the face vertically, restore deep structural support, and redefine facial contours without traditional surgery.
Unlike surface tightening treatments, the Q Lift works at a deeper level. Through small keyhole entry points, spring threads are positioned to elevate the jowls, jawline, and lower face while supporting the underlying facial framework. This vertical lifting approach mirrors the principles of a surgical deep plane facelift, without large incisions or extensive downtime.
- Lifts sagging cheeks, jowls and jawline
- Provides a deep plane style vertical lift
- Uses permanent spring threads for long lasting support
- Acts as a non surgical keyhole facelift with minimal access points
- Restores youthful facial architecture rather than surface tightness
- Minimal downtime of around one week
- Natural results that move with facial expression
Q Lift Cost: From £3,995

This has been the best thing i have ever done! I feel completely rejuvenated! I had a lower face and neck Q lift and it came out just as I imagined. Procedure was painless but the recovery was a little more painful! Not enough to put me off though - just my face adjusting. Dr Q was available at the end of the phone to answer any questions or concerns. He was amazing - he explained everything really clearly and I felt completely at ease. The visits were filled with humour and I always felt he had time for me and my questions. Can’t imagine anywhere better to go. Thoroughly recommend. Don’t think twice.Posted on Google![]()

What can I say?!… This man is a genius. I was concerned with hooded eyes. After me believing surgery was the only option, Dr Q worked his magic simply using Botox. I’m so happy with the results. I feel refreshed, natural and never overdone. Every visit is a delight. He’s a great person, welcoming, friendly and puts you at ease, listens to your concerns and NEVER suggests additional procedures unless you ask or voice a concern. The aftercare is wonderful with a really speedy response to messages. There is a convenient payment plan with additional benefits which I love. Cannot recommend enough.Posted on Google![]()

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I recently had the pleasure of visiting Luxe Skin Clinic for a lip filler treatment, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The staff at Luxe Skin Clinic are not only highly professional but also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in their craft. My consultation was thorough, and they took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for before recommending the best treatment for me. During the procedure, I felt completely comfortable and confident in the hands of the experienced practitioner. The process was painless, and the results were beyond my expectations, my lips look natural, full, and beautifully enhanced. The aftercare provided by Luxe Skin Clinic was top-notch, with clear instructions on how to care for my lips post-treatment and follow-up appointments to ensure everything was progressing smoothly. Overall, I cannot recommend Luxe Skin Clinic enough for anyone looking to enhance their lips. The quality of care, expertise of the staff, and fantastic results make it a top-tier clinic in my book. I will definitely be returning for future treatments and can't wait to see what other services they have to offer! Thank you, Luxe Skin Clinic, for giving me the perfect pout I've always dreamed of!Posted on Google![]()

My experience was excellent. I can't explain the difference my treatment made to me. I had stage 4T cancer of the perotid gland. I had a nerve, part bone and eye surgery done. Surgery left my face and eye droopy. It really affected my confidence. I got threading done for eyes, face and jaw. I feel like a different person. Treatment wasn't painful, and I honestly cannot explain the difference this has made to me. I even allowed my sister to take a picture of me, first time in 2 years.Posted on Google![]()

TRUST & EXPERTISE: Q Lift Results and Insights from Dr Q










The Science and Scope of the Q Lift
What the Q Lift Is
The Q Lift uses permanent elastic suspension spring threads. These threads are designed to mimic the natural movement of facial tissue while providing firm, structural support. Unlike dissolving threads, spring threads remain in place long term and continue to support the lifted tissues.
The technique lifts the face in a vertical vector, replicating the same direction of lift achieved in a deep plane surgical facelift. This vertical repositioning restores the youthful contour that is lost with ageing.
Why the Face Droops with Age
As we age, several changes occur simultaneously:
• Fat pads shrink and move downward
• Ligaments loosen
• Bone structure reduces in key support areas
• Skin loses elasticity
• The jawline becomes less defined
These changes create:
• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Jowls
• Sagging skin along the jaw
• A tired or heavy appearance
Spring threads counteract these changes by lifting the deeper tissues back upwards into their original position.
How the Q Lift Works
The procedure involves the placement of spring threads through tiny entry points. Once inserted, the threads attach to deeper structures and gently elevate sagging tissue. Because the threads are elastic, they move with expression and blend naturally with your facial dynamics.
The Q Lift:
• Provides internal support
• Repositions tissue in a natural vertical direction
• Enhances jawline and lower face structure
• Improves cheek definition
• Reduces jowls and sagging
There are no visible scars, no general anaesthesia and no long hospital recovery.
Why the Q Lift Achieves Natural Results
The Q Lift focuses on restoring, not changing. It lifts the face to where it naturally sat years ago.
Because the threads move with your facial expressions, your face remains expressive rather than tight or frozen.
The result is a younger, more refined version of yourself, not a different person.
What the Q Lift Can Treat
The Q Lift is ideal for:
• Drooping cheeks
• Jowls and softening jawline
• Sagging lower face
• Early neck laxity
• Deepening facial folds
• A tired or heavy appearance
• Loss of definition and structure
• Patients wanting facelift level improvement without surgery
Comfort and Safety
The procedure is performed entirely under local anaesthesia. You remain comfortable while fully avoiding the risks associated with general anaesthesia. Most patients describe pressure, pulling or tightness rather than pain.
Because the treatment uses tiny entry points, there are no large incisions or scars.
Dr Q’s emergency medicine background ensures exceptional safety standards, steady technique and immediate management of any concerns should they arise. His experience greatly reduces risk and improves the predictability of results.
Your Q Lift Treatment Timeline
Consultation with Dr Q
Your consultation includes a detailed assessment of your ageing pattern, facial structure, soft tissue thickness, skin quality and goals. Dr Q explains the lift vector, thread pathways and the level of improvement you can realistically expect. He will also discuss alternatives and combination treatments such as Morpheus8 or filler support if needed.
The Procedure
The Q Lift typically takes one to two hours depending on the degree of sagging and the number of threads required. After applying local anaesthesia, small entry points are made. Spring threads are inserted along precise anatomical pathways and activated to lift the tissue vertically. The results are visible immediately.
Aftercare and Recovery
Most patients experience swelling, tightness or mild bruising for the first few days. Recovery usually takes around one week.
Aftercare may include:
• Sleeping on your back for one week
• Avoiding strenuous exercise
• Keeping the face relaxed
• Avoiding heavy chewing in the early days
• Gentle skincare as advised
Bruising typically resolves within a few days and tightening settles as the threads integrate.
When Results Become Visible
You will see a visible lift straight away, but the final shape refines over several weeks as swelling reduces and the threads stabilise. Because the threads are permanent, results last for five years or longer. Collagen continues to strengthen the area, enhancing long lasting improvement.

Q Lift FAQs
How long does the Q Lift last?
Most patients enjoy results for five years or even longer because the threads are permanent.
Is the Q Lift painful?
Local anaesthesia makes the procedure comfortable. You may feel tightness or pressure rather than pain.
Will I look natural?
Yes. Spring threads move with your facial expressions, ensuring a natural, refreshed appearance.
Is there downtime?
Around one week is typical, mainly due to swelling or tightness.
Can it replace a surgical facelift?
The Q Lift provides a deep plane style lift for many patients. Severe laxity may still benefit from surgery, but most patients achieve excellent improvement without it.
Are the threads visible?
No. They are placed beneath the skin along precise anatomical pathways.
Can the Q Lift be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It pairs well with Morpheus8, dermal fillers and laser tightening to enhance long term results.
