Thread Lifts are a non-surgical method used to lift and tighten the face, using dissolvable sutures to produce a subtle but visible lift in the skin commonly used for face, neck, and jowls.

At our affiliated clinic, the effect on average lasts about 8 to 12 months. The reason why permanent sutures are not commonly used is due to the concern of infection. Dissolvable sutures reduce the chance of infection underneath the skin as no permanent foreign material would be available for bacteria to live on, hiding along the threads. Thread lift insertion can be easily performed within 20 minutes and downtime is minimal of 1 to 2 days.

1. Anesthetic cream is applied before the procedure.
2. Threads are inserted under the skin.
3. If threads are dissolvable, they will be absorbed by the body safely.

V- Lift:
· Fine threads known as polydioxanone (PDO) are inserted into targeted areas under the skin to help stimulate skin tissue. The stimulation of skin tissue will create new tissue fibroblasts and collagen, producing a tightening effect from inside out. This tightening effect results in a more sculpted ‘V-shape’ (hence "V-Lift") face as well as smoother skin.

3D thread:
· Fine threads are applied using a long cannula. These threads have hooks along their entire perimeter which will fix onto the hypodermis. The insertion of 3D threads into the hypodermis stimulates the formation of collagen and creates a kind of collagen structure that reinforces drooping skin and contours. With the 3D thread method, double chins can be lifted.

Sillhouette soft face lift:
· Fine threads are inserted into the skin using a thin needle to lift the face. This type of thread lift procedure is able to produce more noticeable cheeks.

· Limit face movement for 24 hrs after the treatment
· It is advised to avoid facial creams or make up for 48 hrs
· Keep your head elevated for 5 to 7 days
· Eat soft foods or drinks for 7 to 10 days
· Avoid chewing gum for at least 2 weeks after the treatment
