Selection of Thread Lift Brands
The best brand is Silhouette Soft, the only thread material certified by both the U.S. FDA and European CE. It not only provides a lifting effect but also stimulates a significant production of collagen fibers and elastic fibers, far exceeding the amount produced by PDO threads.
For individuals experiencing facial volume loss, this is excellent news. On one hand, it provides a lifting effect, and on the other, it offers a filling effect, creating a more defined facial contour. Additionally, its longevity is twice that of PPDO protein threads, lasting approximately 2-3 years.
360° Thread Lift
Thread lift treatment, simply put, involves embedding absorbable medical sutures (PPDO protein threads) or barbed PLLA threads into the SMAS layer of the skin to achieve facial lifting.
The 360° thread lift is divided into major and minor threads. Major threads are used for cheek lifting, with the number of threads varying based on individual needs, typically ranging from 2 to 8 threads per side. Minor threads are used for localized lifting, such as around the eyes or nasolabial folds, with the amount also depending on personal conditions. Compared to injections, the effect is similar, and the procedure is highly comfortable.


PPDO vs PLLA
PPDO is the well-known protein thread, scientifically named "Polydioxanone." Its metabolic byproducts are mainly "water + CO2," making it fully biodegradable. The results typically last around 1-2 years, and it is one of the most commonly used threads for thread lifting.
PLLA, on the other hand, is quite different! Many people find this term familiar—yes, it is the main ingredient of the "Baby Face Injection" famously used by Faye Wong. The full name is "Poly-L-Lactic Acid," and its metabolic byproducts are "lactic acid + CO2," which are also completely biodegradable. PLLA helps continuously stimulate collagen regeneration.
