A: The number of threads used is not too greatly related to the lifting result – rather the location and areas targeted are the more important. To attain your desired results, our practitioners will access the status of your skin and to what severity of sagginess, thereby creating a custom plan of how to achieve the ideal lift.

A: Designed for use in surgical operations to close the skin or organ tissue, the PDO threads will be absorbed completely by the skin’s metabolism.

A: Age is not necessarily a determining factor – rather the status of your skin is the key. The skin might begin loose and sagging from the age of 20, if a bad lifestyle has been followed or sudden extreme weight loss has occurred, etc. No matter your age, a soft thread lift can help you overcome the sagging problem.

A: The skin will not suddenly sag back down because even once the threads have been absorbed, the collagen in the skin will continue increasing. From around the age of 25, our skin and its subcutaneous fats will gradually begin to sag, but PDO threads can return the skin tissue to its original. If good skincare is undertaken after the treatment, the lifting result can last longer.

A: Soft Thread Lift use a relatively small cannula and so will only leave micro holes the size of a needle in the skin which will close within 48 hours. 

A: The results are immediate after the treatment, and the PDO threads will be absorbed within 6 months. The lifting effects, however, usually last 12-18 months.

A: Soft thread lifts are a minimally invasive treatment, so swelling, redness and bruising will appear after the procedure. Without proper aftercare after the procedure, the wounds may become infected and inflamed, alongside possible swelling. Outside of this, the PDO threads might break after the treatment, but such an occurrence is very rare. 

A: Those with the following conditions should avoid Soft Thread Lift:

Pregnant women

Those with inflammation or infections;

Those who are long-term users of aspirin or other anticoagulants;

Those with permanent fillers in their faces;

Those with extremely sagging skin and deep wrinkles. A facelift will provide the best results.

1. For six hours after the treatment, please avoid touching the treated area or wetting the wounds. Afterwards, you can resume normal washing and skincare. Please delicately wash the skin for the following week and avoid massaging the face with great strength. 
2. Please avoid drinking or smoking for 2-3 days after treatment.
3. Please avoid using aspirin or other similar medicines after the procedure – they will reduce the coagulation of platelets and therefore negatively affect restoration and repair. 
4. Slight redness and swelling, localised tightness and perhaps bruising may follow the procedure. Everyone’s bodies are different so there will be different levels of severity whilst recovery periods will also vary. 
5. Avoid sauna, spas or other extreme temperature activities for 2 weeks after the treatment.
6. For two weeks after the treatment, please avoid dentistry or other aesthetic procedures. Meanwhile, avoid swimming, working out or other strenuous activity. 
7. For two weeks after the treatments, please avoid excessive expressions of the face and eating hard foods to prevent negative impact on the lifting effects.
8. When sleeping, a high pillow can prevent bruising and swelling. Please avoid sleeping on your front.
9. If you feel pain, you can take painkillers under the doctor’s advice.
