There are two common types of thread lifts in Singapore. Both are FDA approved:

Silhouette Soft Thread Lifts

• Known as the Lunchtime Lift, or One-stitch Facelift.
• A minimally invasive, non-surgical anti-ageing procedure.
• Offers visible lifting and gradual collagen stimulating effects.
• Naturally restores shapeliness to the face and nose.
• Utilises resorbable sutures made of Polylactic Acid (PLA).

PLA is a key material for surgical sutures, orthopaedic devices, medical implants, and drug delivery systems. It is biodegradable and extremely safe for the human body.

MINT Thread Lifts

• Also known as the Korean Facelift.
• The only FDA-registered PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift.
• Patented technology that offers better, longer-lasting results.
• Rejuvenates skin by naturally stimulating collagen production.
• Designed for lifting the mid & lower face, and jawline.
• Instantly lifts and tightens sagging skin.
• Immediate and long-term lifting effects.
• Absorbable threads.

Due to the versatility of MINT threads, doctors can offer highly-customisable treatments with natural, transformative results. MINT Thread Lifts are often used in Korea.

Thread lifts are more invasive than face fillers, so the discomfort is slightly higher. However, thread lift results typically last about twice as long (up to 3 years).

Dermal fillers are more effective at contouring specific areas of the face; while a face thread lift lifts the whole face and rejuvenates sagging skin to create a more youthful appearance.

Thread lifts can also help achieve added nose height and a slightly sharper nose tip.Both dermal fillers and face thread lifts can be done at the same time for optimal results.
