Target sagging skin, fine lines, and contour loss with minimally-invasive thread lifts designed for low downtime.
Dr Ram, the Medical Director at illumia Medical, brings over 20 years of experience across the USA, Korea, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
As a certified medical professional, he specialises in thread lifts for non-surgical facial lifting and contouring.
A loss of skin elasticity and firmness, leading to a drooping appearance in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, or neck.
Absence of sharp features, resulting in a less defined appearance.
A nasal bridge that appears less prominent or flat, affecting the overall profile and balance of facial features.
Puffiness or swelling beneath the eyes, contributing to a tired or aged appearance.
Small creases or lines on the skin’s surface, commonly developing around the eyes, forehead, or mouth.
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.
Treatments are designed to be gentle, aiming to minimise discomfort and recovery time.

You can return to your day right after the treatment, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
Our threads are biocompatible, reducing the risk of adverse reactions and ensuring suitability for various skin types.
The threads may encourage natural collagen growth, supporting skin structure.
Threads are gradually absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal.
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.

Your visit begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Ram. He’ll discuss your goals, answer any questions you have, and assess your facial structure and skin condition.
The targeted area will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before the procedure. Local anaesthesia will be applied to minimise any potential discomfort during treatment.
Using a fine needle or cannula, Dr. Ram will carefully insert dissolvable PDO threads into the targeted area. Each thread is strategically placed to lift and support the skin while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll share simple aftercare steps to help you recover comfortably and maintain your results.

The illumia 4D Noselift is best for people who:
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:
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.
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!
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.
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:
Don’t:
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.
The price of a thread lift in Singapore varies depending on the area treated and the number of threads used. At illumia Medical we’ll give you a detailed consultation so you know exactly what to expect and the cost for your treatment.
A thread lift in Singapore is generally suitable for individuals looking to address mild to moderate sagging skin. It’s best to have a consultation to determine if this treatment aligns with your goals and skin type.
During the procedure, a trained medical professional will insert the threads into the skin around the eyes using fine needles. The threads are then carefully positioned to lift and support the eye area, creating a more youthful appearance.
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.
There is minimal downtime associated with the 3D Eye Threadlift. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for a few days following treatment.
Side effects from a thread lift in Singapore are generally mild, such as slight swelling or bruising, which typically subside within a few days. Our team at illumia Medical ensures a comfortable and safe experience.
The number of threads used will vary from individual to individual. Dr Ram will be able to better assess and advise during the first consultation and assessment.
The illumia Face or Baby Thread Lift is suitable for people who:
Some mild bruising after the Thread Lift procedure 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:
Once the bruising and mild swelling has gone down, you should expect to see a lifted and tightened face for a Face Thread Lift, and visibly smoother and volumised skin for a Baby Thread Lift procedure.
The bruising and swelling may stick around for up to five days.
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 a week.
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:
Don’t:
You are strongly discouraged from drinking alcohol two weeks before and the month after your Face or Baby Thread Lift. Consuming alcohol will dehydrate your skin and may increase your blood pressure, both of which will slow down the healing process.
The PDO threads will organically dissolve in about six to nine months, but the boosted collagen production from the threads will help rejuvenate your skin naturally until a year post-procedure. For a continual lift, the best time to get a repeat Face or Baby Thread Lift is about nine to 12 months after the first treatment. Our doctors will advise you on the best treatment plan based on your personalised needs, so do book a consultation with us today!
