There are several factors that contribute to the sagging of the skin, the most unavoidable of which is aging. Not only does the body become slower in absorbing nutrients that are essential to maintaining a healthy and tight skin, the skin as a result begins to lose volume due to the breakdown of its support structure - collagen and elastin.
This breakdown of the dermal layer of the skin becomes very visible in our faces as droopy eyelids, sagging jowls, loose chin and cheeks, folds, and the unmistakable sign of the passage of time, wrinkles. Altogether, these appearances make us look tired, downcast and aged.
Those who want to look refreshed and youthful have several options by either going the non-invasive way or the surgical route, procedures that are popular in
aesthetic clinics in Singapore.
Sometimes, however, to achieve a more visible improvement in the appearance of the face, minimally invasive procedures may have to be carried out.
Laser clinics in Singapore generally have a wide range of treatment options customized to patients' needs, so they have a choice of doing surgery or a less invasive alternative.
Surgical Face LiftA surgical face lift is usually an extensive and invasive make-over to improve the appearance of the patient. Surgical face lifts, carried out not just by a
skin care specialist but by a highly trained cosmetic surgeon, normally remove or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, tighten up sagging jowls and droopy eyelids, lift the brow, or minimize or eliminate deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth.
Medically termed rhytidectomy, a traditional surgical face lift involves literally lifting the skin off the face so that the tissues underneath can be tightened, after which the skin is repositioned smoothly over the face. There is often general anesthesia involved, and significant social downtime after the procedure is performed.
As with any other surgical procedure, whether done in a
medical clinic in Singapore or in equally medically advanced setting, face lifts do carry with them a certain level of risk during and after the process.
Silhouette SoftBy contrast, there are minimally invasive procedures that achieve similar results, without the pain, the cost or the social downtime attendant to a traditional surgical face lift. One of these is the use of "lifting procedures" that entail either the use of lasers or light treatments, properly placed dermal fillers, or surgical-grade threads.
Silhouette Soft in Singapore falls under the last category, using bidirectional absorbable thread cones that restore volume and reduce wrinkles for a more defined and youthful face.
Silhouette Soft is an
absorbable thread lift procedure, using materials made of polylactic acid (PLA) similar to those used for screws and nails for bone fractures, orthopaedic pins, and suture thread that are well-integrated into the body without complications.
The procedure itself makes use of very fine surgical sutures that are inserted - after application of a small local anaesthetic - into the soft tissue of the face so it lifts droopy and sagging areas for a more naturally looking rejuvenation. There are no incisions involved, and the procedure takes all of 30 minutes to complete, short enough to be performed on a lunch break. Even better, there is practically no
thread lift downtime, with the result lasting up to 18 months.
A thread lift procedure is becoming popular for those who want to see immediate improvement. Silhouette Soft visibly improves the outer brow area, tightens jawline, and reduces sagging of the cheeks, naso-labial folds and lower eye areas, without the risks and downtime that often come with surgery.
