"People in the past took a more reactive approach to addressing sagging skin", says Dr. Siew Tuck Wah, Medical Director of Radium Medical Aesthetics. "But today, more people in their late 30s or early 40s are asking about skin lifting treatments to rejuvenate the face at a younger age."
So what exactly is a non-surgical thread lift treatment? Is it worth the investment?
A face lift is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and redefine facial contours by removing excess skin from the face. Normally done as an outpatient procedure, face lift treatment may involve administering a local anesthesia and sedatives or sometimes, general anesthesia.
A typical face lift treatment can take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours depending on the complexity of the surgery. The surgeon makes incision in front of the ear, extending to the hair or hairline and behind the ears. The surgeon lifts the skin in an upward direction and removes the excess skin. He may also tighten the deeper layers of the face at the same time. Bandages must be worn for at least 3 to 5 days or until the wounds are completely healed.

A surgical face lift is no longer the only option for lifting and contouring the face. Thread lift treatment has been gaining popularity over the years because of its powerful effects against sagging skin.
Making its first appearance in the medical aesthetic market in 2013, Silhouette Soft has helped more than 130,000 people all over the world to reshape facial contours and lift sagging skin.
Silhouette Soft Thread Lift is a unique non-surgical method of lifting the skin tissue by using specialized suture material that is completely bio-compatible. These sutures are inserted into the skin using a small needle. These sutures are able to grab on to the sagging skin tissue and lift them up to a higher position because they have small barbs on them.
Silhouette Soft Thread Lift is a convenient 'lunchtime' skin lifting treatment that does not require any general anaesthesia or long recovery. It provides immediate results and it continues to improve the next 2-3 months after the procedure as collagen continues to be stimulated by the threads.

What does under eye filler treatment involve?
In the past, the only treatment options were surgical if you wish to remove eye bags. Non-surgical options are finally available. With the wonders of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers, the under eye areas can be treated effectively, giving dramatic, long lasting results. Dermal fillers of varying viscosity are introduced into the problem area to immediately rejuvenate the under eye areas.
Using a blunt tip needle, the hollows under the eyes are filled for a smooth, natural result. With the blunt tip needle, it reduces the chances of potential bruising.
Filler under eye reduces the appearance of dark eye circles by hydrating the area and stretching the skin so that the area does not appear sunken. Filler under eye greatly reduces dark shadows by plumping up the hollow areas around the eyes.
The versatility of filler under eye also improves the skin texture and reduces fine lines under the eyes.
Most dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally-occurring compound that is found in our skin. As we age, levels of HA start to decrease, causing the skin to look dry and thin. Wrinkles and fine lines start to become more visible.
Aesthetic doctors use HA dermal fillers to reshape and restore the firmness of the skin by replenishing the HA in the body for a younger-looking skin.

The current trend for skin lifting treatment calls for fewer and less noticeable scars with visible, dramatic results. Silhouette Soft Thread Lift is a convenient, straightforward, and affordable procedure for people who do not wish to undergo a typical facelift surgery.
Thread Lift treatment allows the doctor to carefully and precisely determine the proper point of entry and exit points. After inserting the thread, the doctor applies slight pressure on the treated area to push and guide the threads upwards beneath the skin until they are taut and embedded.
Due to its non-surgical nature, a patient who undergoes Silhouette Soft ThreadLift enjoys a minimal downtime of 3 to 5 days. On the other hand, a surgical face lift has a downtime of about 2 weeks.
Although the downside of a thread lift procedure is that the lifting effects may not be as pronounced or as long-lasting as a surgical face lift, people are generally more receptive to thread lift because of its natural and safer outcome. The more regular you repeat the treatment, the longer the effects will last – thanks to the collagen remodeling that continues to take effect. In the long run, you may only require to repeat the thread lift every 3 to 4 years for maintenance.
Unless you are very confident and positive of the outcome of the surgical face lift, it may be wise to opt for a thread lift treatment instead. Besides, you wouldn't want something permanently on your face if you don't like it, would you?
