PDO & PCL threads to lift sagging skin, redefine the jawline and restore facial contour — without surgery or general anaesthesia.
The Bliss Lift is Dr Sin Yong’s thread lift protocol using PDO (polydioxanone) and PCL (polycaprolactone) threads inserted beneath the skin to physically reposition descended tissue and stimulate collagen production as the threads dissolve.
Thread lift is a well-established non-surgical option for mild to moderate facial laxity. It creates immediate, visible lift of the jowls, midface, brow and neck — without incisions, general anaesthesia or surgical recovery.
Unlike energy-based protocols, threads work by mechanical anchoring rather than tissue heating. This makes them a complementary option that can be combined with VF Lift or Time Freeze LCLR® for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are absorbable sutures that dissolve over 6–8 months. Barbed or cog PDO threads anchor into the deep dermis to physically reposition tissue, while stimulating a collagen cascade as they dissolve. Results are immediate with gradual improvement over 3 months.
Polycaprolactone (PCL) threads dissolve more slowly — over 18–24 months — providing a longer duration of structural lift. PCL also stimulates sustained collagen production. These are preferred for patients seeking extended results or who have previously undergone PDO thread lift.
Dr Sin Yong customises thread type, gauge, quantity and vector placement per patient based on facial anatomy, degree of descent, skin thickness and desired outcome. Thread lift is often combined with energy-based treatments to address both structural lift and skin quality simultaneously.
Barbed threads placed along the jawline vectors to lift descended jowl tissue and restore jawline definition. This is the most commonly requested zone and delivers the most immediate visible improvement.
Threads placed in the midface lift descended malar fat pads, reducing nasolabial folds and restoring the natural ogee curve of the cheek. Particularly effective when combined with volume optimisation.
Temporal threads elevate a descended lateral brow, opening the eye and restoring a more rested, refreshed appearance without the heaviness associated with surgical browlift.
Neck threads address early cervicomental laxity and platysmal banding, improving the neck-jaw angle. For more significant neck laxity, energy-based protocols are usually more effective.
Thread lifts create mechanical lift at the time of insertion — but threads dissolve over months and the lift will gradually diminish as the underlying facial ageing process continues. They do not address skin quality, pore size, pigmentation, or volume loss. For patients with moderate to advanced laxity, or those seeking longer-lasting and more comprehensive results, Dr Sin Yong typically recommends VF Lift or Time Freeze LCLR® as primary protocols — with threads as a complementary option where appropriate.
Thread lift is a proven option for mild laxity. At consultation, Dr Sin Yong frequently recommends his proprietary energy-based protocols instead — or alongside — because they deliver significantly more comprehensive and durable outcomes without the downtime and procedural risks of thread insertion.
Where threads create mechanical lift that fades as they dissolve, Time Freeze LCLR® combines dual-wavelength laser energy — calibrated zone-by-zone in real time — to stimulate lasting collagen remodelling, address lipo-modelling and improve skin integrity simultaneously. Results build progressively and last significantly longer than thread lift alone.
The VF Lift is Dr Sin Yong’s customised non-surgical facelift protocol — addressing three distinct outcomes in the same session: lifting laxity and jowling, reducing excess facial puffiness, and restoring hollow cheeks through adipose stem cell stimulation. It delivers structural lifting comparable to threads, but with results that last significantly longer and without physical thread insertion.
Thread lift remains a valid clinical option and is offered at the clinic. Dr Sin Yong will recommend the most appropriate protocol — or combination — at your consultation based on your specific anatomy, degree of laxity and goals.
Beyond facial threads, a nose thread lift in Singapore can refine and lift the nasal bridge for added definition, often combined with other contouring treatments.
