Are You Struggling With These Aesthetic Concerns?

Sagging Skin

A loss of skin elasticity and firmness, leading to a drooping appearance in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, or neck.

Lack of Facial Contour

Absence of sharp features, resulting in a less defined appearance.

Low or Flat Nose Bridge

A nasal bridge that appears less prominent or flat, affecting the overall profile and balance of facial features.

Eye Bags

Puffiness or swelling beneath the eyes, contributing to a tired or aged appearance.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Small creases or lines on the skin’s surface, commonly developing around the eyes, forehead, or mouth.

Lack of Nose Tip

A nose tip that is less pronounced or lacks definition may impact facial features’ balance.

If these concerns sound familiar, a thread lift might be just what you need.

New Project

100% Bioabsorbable

Threads are gradually absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal.

The illumia Difference

At illumia Medical, we offer thread lift treatments using special-purpose bio-stimulating threads made of Polydioxanone (PDO). These threads are as thin as human hair yet possess tensile strength significantly greater than natural skin fibres.

 

Designed to suit various areas—whether the eyes, nose, or face—our PDO thread lifts aim to enhance your natural features through a minimally invasive approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is suitable for a 3D and 4D Noselift?

The illumia 4D Noselift is best for people who:

  • Are in their early 30s to 50s and experiencing early signs of ageing
  • Are looking to define their natural bridge height
  • Want to attain natural contouring on the nose
  • Don’t want overly dramatic results
  • Cannot or do not want to undergo the knife for a traditional facelift

What should I avoid before undergoing a noselift?

Some mild bruising after the nose lifts is expected as the threads are inserted into the skin. To speed up healing and minimise the bruising, our patients are advised to avoid the following:

  • Alcohol
  • Smoking
  • Any aspirin-based medications such as Ibuprofen, Neurofen, Naprosen/Naprogesic; anti-inflammatory medications such as Naprosyn; or blood-thinning medications such as Warfarin

What results should I expect from the 3D or 4D Noselift treatment?

Once the bruising and mild swelling have gone down, you should expect to see an elevated and more defined nasal bridge, as well as a lifted and slimmer nasal tip. No over-the-top or dramatic effects with our nose lift treatments, only a naturally contoured nose that’s still yours but better.

What is the downtime for this treatment?

The bruising and swelling may stick around for up to 5 days, after which you will be as good as new. Remember to take your prescribed medications in the first two to three days, to minimise discomfort and speed up the healing process!

Can I resume daily activities after the nose lift treatment?

Work and most regular activities may be resumed immediately with minimal side effects. Common side effects include mild swelling and bruising, which usually subside within 48 hours.

What are the after-care guidelines for a quick recovery?

To help speed up recovery of the bruising and swelling, and ensure that the threads are kept in place for best results, these guidelines are for you.

Do:

  • Take your pain medications and antibiotics
  • Keep your head elevated at a 45-degree angle when in bed using a pillow
  • Apply ice to reduce swelling
  • Get ample rest

Don’t:

  • Wash your face or hair in the first 12 hours
  • Apply facial products or make-up in the first 48 hours
  • Exercise vigorously or engage in any strenuous activity for up to two weeks
  • Consume alcohol or smoke for up to two weeks

Can I drink alcohol before or after my nose lift treatment?

You are strongly discouraged from drinking alcohol two weeks before and the month after your treatment. Consuming alcohol will dehydrate your skin and may increase your blood pressure, both of which will slow down the healing process.

How often should I do the 3D or 4D NoseLift treatment?

The PDO threads will organically dissolve in about six months, but the boosted collagen production from the threads will help lift your nose naturally until a year post-procedure. For a continual lift, the best time to get a repeat noselift is about 9 to 12 months after the first treatment. Our doctors will advise you on a suitable treatment plan based on your needs, so do book a consultation with us today!

Is a thread lift suitable for everyone?

How long do the results of a thread lift last?

Results from a thread lift can last up to 12-18 months, depending on individual factors like skin type and lifestyle. Regular maintenance can help extend the benefits.
