The advantages : Injection of filler only 1 time will have results immediately with no downtime and remain for 8-12 months.
The disadvantages : Needle marks from the injection may appear
3. Face lift with PDO (Thread lifting)
PDO (Polydioxanone) is often used by surgeons to sew blood vessels to the heart. Using this type of thread to treat wrinkles and sagging under the skin is therefore not harmful or irritating to the skin. After the thread is inserted under the skin, it will stimulate the contraction of collagen fibers under the skin and cause immediate lifting of the skin. After that, it will gradually stimulate the production of collagen around itself, causing the effect of lifting and reducing wrinkles more clearly, after one month.
The advantages : The thread will dissolve within 6-8 months, making no residue, and the lifting effect remains for about 1 year.
The disadvantages : This may cause a slight swelling and bruising around the thread area.

The disadvantages : The results, persist for only a week to a month depend on the patient’s skin, require Follow-UP treatments.
Recommended for teenages and young adults with mildly sagging skin.
5.Radio frequency
This technique uses radio-frequency energy to stimulate subdermal collagen production in order to reduce loose skin and wrinkles.

The disadvantages: The results remains only a week to a month depends on your skin. Recommended for Follow-Up treatment for the better results.
