In the dermatology world, a single thread can do wonders. Part of a cosmetic procedure known as a PDO threadlift, dissolvable threads are strategically inserted under the skin to lift and tighten sagging tissues. Within, the PDO ingredient stimulates collagen production for long-term rejuvenation.
Often, it’s a speedy process that requires little downtime, yet not without its own discomfort and pain. Now, an alternative has entered our local domain—known as a liquid PDO threadlift. A forerunner to introduce this new treatment to Singapore, Freia Medical, breaks down the difference to the physical threadlift, as a PDO thread that’s been dissolved in water.
This liquid form is able to spread evenly around the intended areas, to stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Unlike the physical threads, there will be no tugging or pulling involved, which could at times, be disconcerting for anyone doing it for the first time. A post shared by Freia Medical (@freiamedical) The experience “It feels very much like a skin booster,” was my first thought when the first needle of PDO 200 collagen biostimulator went under my skin.
Another pro with a liquid threadlift also comes with its ability to be applied in the undereye area—to invigorate tired eyes. A common concern amongst many, including myself. Dr Harold Ma, medical director of Freia Medical, was meticulous in his approach by first singling out the areas of concern.
In my case: undereye dark circles.
