Non-surgical thread lift treatment is gaining popularity around the world. More people are opting for non-surgical face lift over a surgical one due to its efficacious outcome. Radium Medical Aesthetics has conceptualized and developed a longer-lasting and effective, proprietary non-surgical skin lifting treatment known as Combination Thread Lift Therapy.

Singapore, Singapore, August 5, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Radium Medical Aesthetics, a leading medical aesthetic clinic in Singapore has developed an innovative way to lift sagging skin non-surgically that can provide longer-lasting, natural lift.
Combination Thread Lift Therapy was conceptualized and developed by its Medical Director, Dr. Siew Tuck Wah in June 2017. “Thread Lift treatment started about 20 years ago to visibly lift sagging skin and reshape facial contours,” says Dr. Siew.
Harnessing the benefits of both PLLA and PDO, Combination Thread Lift Therapy addresses aging skin with a two pronged approach - by lifting loose skin around the mid-face and jowls and restoring volume to the face in deficient areas such as the forehead and cheeks.

What Is Thread Lift?
Thread Lift is a convenient, non-surgical way to reverse signs of aging. It tightens the skin and smoothens out wrinkles without going under the knife. There are several types of threads that doctors use to perform thread lift procedures such as poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) or polydioxanone (PDO) to lift sagging contours.
These threads are inserted under the skin at precise points using either a cannula or fine needle. After the threads are inserted, the doctor applies slight pressure to guide and push the threads beneath the skin until they are firmly embedded.
This treatment is sometimes coined as ‘lunchtime facelift’ or ‘one-stitch facelift’ because of its simple and straightforward treatment that does not require patients to undergo general anesthesia.
Why Combination Thread Lift Therapy?
Combination Thread Lift Therapy is an innovative approach to performing non-surgical skin lifting treatment. The development of Combination Thread Lift Therapy has led to a fundamental change in how medical aesthetic doctors treat sagging skin.
Since conceptualizing and pioneering a new thread lifting technique, patients are seeing better, longer-lasting result with a more natural, sustainable lift. While recovery time remains largely the same as traditional non-surgical thread lifting treatment, patients have provided feedback that they saw better lifting effect and the face appears more rejuvenated.
What is Combination Thread Lift Therapy?
As the name suggests, Combination Thread Lift Therapy uses both PLLA and PDO threads to create a sustainable, visible lift. Combining both Silhouette Soft Thread Lift and PDO Thread Lift treatments, the doctor is able to use different types of threads to address different issues effectively.
PLLA sutures have bi-directional cones made from a biocompatible polymer. They are resorbable and act on deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. On the other hand, PDO threads are made of biodegradable synthetic polymer and they are known for great strength and pliability.
Harnessing the benefits of both PLLA and PDO, Combination Thread Lift Therapy addresses aging skin with a two pronged approach – by lifting loose skin around the mid-face and jowls and restoring volume to the face in deficient areas such as the forehead and cheeks.
What Effects Can Be Seen After Undergoing Combination Thread Lift Therapy?
Using the proprietary knowledge of Combination Thread Lift Therapy, we can achieve the following outcome:
- Sagging skin is immediately lifted after treatment
- Collagen is regenerated over time as sutures are resorbed
- Gradual tightening and firming of the skin to result in V-shaped face
PLLA and PDO threads are resorbed by the body at different rates. Generally, PDO threads are resorbed more quickly than PLLA threads. Combination Thread Lift Therapy offers a staggered approach to increase the longevity of the result as collagen stimulation is produced over a longer time.
Is The Downtime Much Longer Than Silhouette Soft Thread Lift or PDO Thread Lift?
Compared to Silhouette Soft Thread Lift or PDO Thread Lift, the downtime for Combination Thread Lift Therapy is about the same. Patients can expect a downtime of about three to four days.
Some bruising and swelling can be expected but within a week, the discomfort and tightness should subside. Any needle marks or bruises can be covered up with makeup on the first one to two days after the treatment.
