PDO Thread Face Lift
Non-Surgical Skin-Lifting Treatment in Singapore
PDO Thread Lift is an effective anti-ageing treatment that lifts and tightens sagging skin tissue.
This minimally-invasive treatment uses threads made of Polydioxanone (PDO) and introduce them into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. This process stimulates collagen growth which is beneficial for skin- lifting and rejuvenating effects.
PDO threads are made of dissolvable monofilament sutures that are used by surgeons for surgical procedures.
How is PDO thread face lift done?
PDO thread lift is a medical technique done by doctors to lift and tighten sagging skin in the cheeks, jowls and neck.
Inserting thin, dissolvable PDO threads under the skin, the procedure visibly lifts and anchors sagging skin and fat to reverse the merciless effects of ageing.
The threads form a support structure for the tissue so that you look visibly lifted, yet natural. In addition, the threads kickstart the cellular rejuvenation process in your skin by stimulating them to produce new collagen. In fact, the lifting and rejuvenating effects continue for months after the treatment.
What areas can be treated with pDO thread Face Lift?
Areas that can benefit from the treatment include:
- Eyebrows
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Jawline
- Jowls
Note: Always consult your doctor before undergoing any treatment. Your doctor will recommend the most suitable skin-lifting treatment(s) based on your requirements and budget.
What Results can I expect after PDO Thread Lift treatment?
REVERSE SIGNS OF AGENG AND IMPROVE SKIN TEXTURE After the treatment, you can expect to look visibly younger with improved overall skin texture. The threads provide support to lift and support sagging skin in its new lifted position. In addition, the bio-compatible threads are lined with barbs to anchor the sagging skin.
The skin will continue to undergo rejuvenating effects by stimulating collagen production to replace the loss volume in the face due to the natural ageing process.
This helps to remove fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.
VISIBLE, YET NATURAL LIFT FOR A V-SHAPED FACE Approximately 9 months after the treatment, the treads used in the treatment would have dissolved. Your face will restore its volume and plumping effects will be visible. Lines on the face will soften and you will achieve a V-shaped face with lifted contours with better definition.
QUICK, CONVENIENT PROCEDURE Because of its convenient procedure that yields visible results, PDO thread lift is sometimes known as the ‘lunchtime facelift’ or ‘weekend facelift’ because it can be completed in about one-and-a-half hours.
NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT PDO thread lift treatment allows you to achieve a visible lifting effect without undergoing surgery. As such, this non-surgical treatment avoids the risks often associated with surgery such as complications and long downtime.
LONG-LASTING RESULTS About 9 months after the procedure, the PDO threads will be absorbed into your body by simple hydrolysis. The lifted facial contours will remain for at least another 2 years due to the production of new collagen.
How does PDO Thread Lift Compare to Silhouette Soft Thread Lift?
PDO threads have stronger lifting capabilities as compared to Silhouette Soft Thread Lift because it uses more threads to lift sagging skin whereas Silhouette Soft Thread Lift typically uses 1-2 pairs. Additionally, PDO threads focus on tightening and lifting heavier skin to provide a V-shaped face. They also come in different lengths and this provides the doctors more options to customise treatments for different patients.
