Facial Thread Lift in Singapore

Restore natural facial definition without surgery. DermAlly’s dermatologist-led facial thread lift in Singapore offers a safe, minimally invasive approach to lift sagging skin and support long-term collagen renewal.

What Is a Facial Thread Lift?

A facial thread lift is a non-surgical treatment that utilises biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO) threads to lift sagging skin and rejuvenate facial contours gently. These threads are inserted beneath the skin to reposition soft tissue and stimulate collagen production over time through mechanical action.

At DermAlly, all thread lift procedures are performed by our doctors, ensuring both safety and precision. This treatment is suitable for individuals experiencing early signs of ageing, such as jowls, flattened cheeks, or skin laxity, and who prefer a subtle, natural-looking result without undergoing surgery.

How Does It Work?

Mechanical Lifting

PDO threads act as a supportive framework under the skin, lifting and repositioning sagging tissues in areas such as the mid-face, jawline, and brows. The result is an immediate improvement in facial definition.

Collagen Stimulation

As the PDO threads dissolve over the following months, they stimulate fibroblasts, triggering the body’s natural healing process to produce collagen and elastin. This biological effect enhances firmness, elasticity, and skin texture, prolonging the rejuvenating effect beyond the initial lift.

What Does a Face Thread Lift Treat?

Facial thread lifts are designed to treat mild to moderate facial laxity. Common indications include:

Sagging Cheeks and Jowls

Lifts the mid-face and redefines the lower jawline.

Loose Skin Along the Jawline and Neck

Improves contour in the lower face and submental (double chin) region.

Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)

Elevation of the cheek area can soften deep lines around the mouth.

Drooping Brows or Forehead

Strategic thread placement can elevate the outer brow area for a refreshed, more open look.

Fine Lines and Mild Wrinkles

Collagen regeneration helps reduce the appearance of surface lines, particularly where the skin is mildly lax.

Benefits of Facial Thread Lift Treatment

Immediate, Natural-Looking Lift

Results are visible immediately after the procedure and improve gradually.

Stimulates Long-Term Collagen Production

PDO threads help restore the skin’s foundational structure by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.

Minimally Invasive

No incisions, stitches, or implants. The treatment uses only fine entry points under local anaesthesia.

Minimal Downtime

Most patients return to daily activities within 1-2 days. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but resolve quickly.

Customisable to Each Patient

Thread type, number, and placement are tailored to your facial anatomy and goals.

Results Last 12–18 Months

Longevity depends on factors such as age, skin quality, lifestyle, and the number of threads used.

Step-By-Step Procedure

Consultation

Our doctor will evaluate your skin condition, facial anatomy, and treatment goals. A personalised thread lift plan will be discussed, including thread type, vector placement, and number of threads.

Preparation

After cleaning the treatment area, local anaesthesia is applied to ensure comfort. Thread entry points and lifting vectors are marked to guide precise placement.

Thread Insertion

Using a blunt-tipped cannula or fine needle, the PDO threads are inserted under the skin following the pre-marked paths. The threads are carefully positioned to support and lift the tissue.

Refinement & Contouring

The dermatologist gently adjusts the threads to achieve symmetry and natural contouring. You may feel a light pulling sensation, but the procedure is typically well-tolerated.

Aftercare & Recovery

Post-treatment guidance includes avoiding facial pressure, excessive movement, heavy exercise, or makeup for several days. Swelling and tenderness may last up to a week but typically resolve within a few days.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. You may feel some tightness or mild soreness afterwards.

How soon can I see the results?

Lifting is visible immediately. Skin quality continues to improve over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

Are there any side effects?

Mild swelling, bruising, or tightness can occur but typically resolves within a few days. Rarely, threads may be visible under thin skin, but this is a temporary condition.
