PDO Thread Lift Gaining Popularity in Singapore - Radium Medical Aesthetics
by Belle Ong ConsultantPDO Thread Lift is an effective anti-aging
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 rejuvenative effects.
Because of its convenient procedure that yields
visible result, PDO Thread Lift is sometimes
known as the ‘lunchtime facelift’ or ‘weekend facelift’ because it can be
completed in under an hour. Achieving a visible lifting effect without any
potential surgical risks and long downtime, it is no wonder that PDO Thread
Lift has become a popular alternative to a surgical facelift in Singapore.
PDO threads are unique, new monofilament suture that are used by most
surgeons for surgical procedures.
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 collagen stimulation.
How is PDO Thread Lift
Done?
PDO Thread Lift is a medical technique
done by the doctor to lift and tighten sagging skin in the cheeks, jowls
and neck.
Inserting thin, dissolvable PDO threads under
the skin, the procedure immediately lifts and anchors sagging skin and fat to
reverse the merciless effects of aging. The threads form a support structure
for the tissue so that you look visibly lifted, yet natural. In addition, the
threads kick start the cellular rejuvenation process in
your skin by stimulating them to produce new collagen. In
fact, the lifting and rejuvenative effects continue for months after
the treatment.
Our PDO Thread Lift technique, specially designed
by Dr. Siew Tuck Wah, improves on the highly popular Korean PDO thread lift
procedure. We use a combination of PDO threads of different lengths to place in
different layers of the skin. This method produces maximal and effective lifting
with minimum downtime.
Is PDO Thread Lift Safe?
This treatment is completely safe because PDO threads will be broken
down in 6-8 months after the treatment. PDO Thread Lift uses threads made of
polydioxanone that are 100% bio-compatible and bio-absorbable. This material is
used for a long time by surgeons for their surgical procedures. As a result,
your face will be more lifted with the production of collagen in the process.
Lift sagging skin and redefine your facial contours with this
innovative, non-surgical skin tightening and lifting procedure. Our in-house
treatment, also known as High Definition K-Lift is based on the popular Korean
PDO thread lift, where demands for a V-shape facial contour is high.
What Areas Can Be Treated
with PDO Thread Lift?
Areas that can benefit from PDO Thread Lift include:
·
Eyebrows
·
Cheeks
·
Nasolabial folds
·
Jaw line
·
Jowls
Consult your doctor because he may recommend a combination of
treatments to achieve the best result for you.
What Results Can I Expect
After The Treatment?
The sutures provide support to lift sagging skin and place them in its
new lifted position. The bio-compatible threads are lined with barbs to anchor
the sagging skin. Your skin will continue to undergo rejevenative effects by
stimulating collagen production to replace loss volume in the face due to
natural aging process.
In about 9 months after the treatment, the threads would have
dissolved. Your face will restore its volume and plumping effects will be
visible. Lines will soften and you will achieve a V-Shaped face with lifted
contours and better definition.
Which is Better –
Silhouette Soft Thread Lift or PDO Thread Lift?
PDO Thread Lift has stronger lifting capabilities as compared to Silhouette Soft Thread Lift solely because PDO
Thread Lift uses more threads to lift sagging skin whereas Silhouette Soft
Thread Lift typically uses 1-2 pairs. PDO Thread Lift focuses on tightening and
lifting heavier skin to provide a V-shaped face. PDO threads come in different
lengths and this provides the doctors more customised treatment for
different patients.
Who is a Suitable
Candidate For PDO Thread Lift?
PDO Thread Lift is an effective
non-surgical facelifting treatment that is suitable for anyone looking to
improve the appearance of sagging skin. This treatment is also suitable for
people who want to attain an immediate lift of
the facial contours without undergoing a facelift surgery. Best suited for men
and women who are unwilling to tolerate the long downtime of a facelift surgery
but want to look refresh and lifted – naturally.
Any Side Effects and
Restrictions To Take Note Of?
The patient may experience some soreness which may last for 3-5 days.
This is perfectly normal as it will take about one week for the soreness to
subside.
Following 2 weeks after the PDO Thread Lift, patients are
discouraged from undergoing any dental treatment and participate in any
rigorous physical activities. Patients are also advised to sleep on their back
to allow the swelling to subside and to avoid the putting pressure on the face
that might cause misalignment of the threads.
Any Risks or Complications?
In the hands of an experienced doctor, you can be assured of a
comfortable experience with a natural, beautiful lifted face.
If carried out by an inexperienced doctor, there
is a chance of getting puckering, depression, visible subcutaneous knots,
and other skin irregularities with PDO Thread Lift.
Always
find out more about the doctor’s experience and make sure you are comfortable
with him before committing yourself to the treatment. Arrange for a
