With aging and constant stress, the skin on our face tends to get saggy. For this reason, wrinkles are starting to appear as we grow old.

Before, the only way to get rid of wrinkles is to undergo face lift surgery. This treatment took about a month to heal and prevents the patient from doing strenuous activities while recovering.

Good thing you don’t have to get a facelift now! Modern technology and breakthrough in dermatological science brought about a way to get rid of wrinkles without a long recovery time. Many dermatology clinics are now offering thread lift in Singapore.

What is thread lift?
Thread lifting is a dermatological procedure used to combat skin sagging and helps prevent wrinkles from breaking on your face. It is a non-surgical and non-invasive way to lift the skin which is why it is widely-preferred by most patients. Nose thread lifting and face thread lifting are now available in Singapore.

Are there different types of thread lift?
Yes. There are two types of thread lift, Nova thread, and Silhouette Instalift thread. Both can be used as face treatment but they differ on the thread to be used for lifting.

Nova thread uses what is commonly known as PDO or Polydioxanone threads. It is made of materials that naturally dissolve in our body over time. Nova thread can last up to half a year before it completely dissolves.

Silhouette Instalift thread on the other hand is made of equally biocompatible material known as Poly-I-lactic. It stays in the body longer than nova thread. It may take up to a year to be fully dissolved, creating a more lasting result.

How is the recovery for a thread lift treatment?
Recovery from thread lift is faster than a facelift. On a regular basis, it will only take two days to recover from a thread lift. For this reason, many busy people prefer thread lift over facelift.

Complications?

A little complication is reported among patients who undergo thread lift. Swelling and irritation can be felt while recovering. That’s why applying make up is not advised two days after the session. It is also recommended to take proper rest to minimize swelling.
