What is a Soft Thread Lift at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic?
As we age, our skin inevitably shows signs of aging such as sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. The Soft Thread Lift is an anti-aging treatment specifically designed to address these signs of aging. It involves implanting absorbable protein threads deep into the skin, continuously stimulating the production of collagen, and repositioning sagging subcutaneous fat to achieve instant tightening and rejuvenation of aging and sagging skin.
How does Soft Thread Lift work?
The Soft Thread Lift utilizes a conduit to implant absorbable Polydioxanone (PDO) threads into the dermal layer of the skin or secure them in the fascia layer. This technique lifts and tightens sagging skin, providing an immediate 3D dimensional improvement from the inside out. The PDO threads contain numerous tiny barbs that firmly anchor the skin tissue. Therefore, after the doctor implants the PDO threads, pulling them upwards and securing them can lift the overall sagging skin. Our skin and subcutaneous tissues gradually sag with age, and the implanted PDO threads help reposition sagging subcutaneous fat and skin tissue, similar to how a string lifts a hanging light fixture. The countless tiny barbs on the PDO threads trigger the skin's self-repair mechanism in the dermal layer, promoting the production of more collagen.

Advantages of Soft Thread Lift at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic
completely absorbable by the human body. They have a long history of safe use in surgery and do not cause adverse reactions with skin tissues.
Comfortable and Painless Treatment: Before the Soft Thread Lift, we apply a topical anaesthetic on the skin's surface. Local anaesthesia is also administered during the procedure. The procedure is minimally invasive, resulting in only tiny needle-hole incisions.
Natural and Long-Lasting Effects: Soft Thread Lift uses PDO threads, which are gradually absorbed by the skin within 6 months. However, the skin's self-repair mechanism stimulates the production of collagen, which can last for 6-8 months. This leads to a rejuvenated, firmer, and fuller appearance.
Instant Skin Tightening: After implanting the PDO threads, the doctor presses and tightens the sagging skin tissue. The sagging cheeks and jawlines are immediately lifted, and the skin is instantly firmed, rejuvenating your youthful appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
How many sessions are required to see noticeable results?The 3D Non-Surgical Facelift at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic is a single-session treatment, and you will immediately observe a significant, voluminous, and firming effect.
-
Can the implanted Soft Threads and hyaluronic acid be fully absorbed by the body?Soft Threads are eventually metabolized by the body into water and carbon dioxide and then absorbed. Hyaluronic acid naturally exists in the skin and participates in normal skin metabolism, thus being absorbed and broken down.
-
What age is suitable for the 3D Non-Surgical Facelift treatment at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic?Age is not the key factor. As long as you notice signs of skin sagging, a vague facial contour, and a loss of subcutaneous soft tissue, you can consider this treatment.
-
After the Soft Threads and hyaluronic acid are absorbed and metabolized, will the face quickly become more saggy and droopy?The skin will not suddenly sag because even after Soft Threads are absorbed, the skin's collagen and elastin will continue to increase, maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. After hyaluronic acid is metabolized, the injection site will return to its original state, and there will be no more wrinkles or depressions.
-
What are the risks and side effects?Any injection has some risks. While hyaluronic acid injections are widely used in medical aesthetics and are very safe, if not administered properly, they may result in rare risks such as facial clots, blindness, and localized skin necrosis. These risks are rare, and proper technique and adherence to best practices significantly reduce them. Soft Thread Lift is a minimally invasive non-surgical treatment and may lead to minor swelling and bruising. If post-treatment care is not followed correctly, it may result in infection and inflammation around the incision site. Moreover, there is a very low incidence of thread breakage after implantation, and this is exceedingly rare.
-
In what situations is thread lifting not suitable?Thread lifting is not suitable for individuals in the following situations: Pregnant or breastfeeding. Skin inflammation or infection. Those taking anticoagulant medications such as aspirin. Individuals with facial implants or any permanent fillers. Those prone to hypertrophic scarring or keloids. Q: How long does the entire treatment take? A: A single session of the 3D Non-Surgical Facelift at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, with the required time varying depending on the areas being treated.
Home Care Advice After the Procedure at Oceanaconte Spa & Clinic
Avoid Touching the Treated Area
Avoid touching the treated area for at least 6 hours after the procedure, and keep the incision sites dry. You can resume regular skincare after this period. For the first week, be gentle when washing your face and avoid excessive massaging or rubbing.
Expect Minor Redness, Swelling, and Bruising
After the procedure, there may be slight redness, localized tightness, and even bruising. The extent and speed of recovery may vary depending on individual factors.
​
Avoid Smoking and Alcohol
Refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for 2-3 days after the treatment.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Over the course of two weeks after the procedure, avoid places with extreme temperatures, such as saunas, hot springs, or extremely cold therapies, as these conditions are not favorable for the recovery of injection sites.
Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications
Avoid taking aspirin or similar medications post-treatment, as they can reduce platelet function and hinder the recovery of the treatment area.
​
​
Minimize Facial Expressions and Chewing
For two weeks, try to avoid making exaggerated facial expressions. Also, avoid consuming hard foods to prevent any interference with the lifting effect.
​
​
Elevate Your Head While Sleeping
