Thread lift versus skin tightening device: which is more effective?

Although all three methods of face lifting have different evolutionary stages, ranging from... Thread lift (Old method), Ultraformer (Ultrasound technology—a mid-range technology), up to... Oligo (Radio Frequency (RF) waves—old technology, but now renewed) But they share the same goal: to lift the face and restore youthful skin. The oldest method, the thread lift, focuses on using dissolvable threads inserted immediately under the skin. It provides quick results, suitable for those who need rapid facial contouring or have significant skin sagging. The results are long-lasting and noticeable immediately after the procedure, but some recovery time is required.

Ultraformer and Oligio are non-surgical technologies. Less painful, no need to take time off work. Ultraformer focuses ultrasound waves to penetrate deep into the fat and SMAS layers, suitable for those with mild to moderate sagging. Oligio, on the other hand, uses radio frequency (RF) waves to both lift and tighten pores, firming the face and reducing excess fat along the jawline. It's ideal for those with chubby cheeks, puffy cheeks, and large pores. Therefore, the choice of method depends on the individual. Depending on skin condition, desired results, and how long one is willing to wait to see results. Doctors won't recommend what's best or most effective, but after seeing the patient's skin problems, they can advise which treatment is most suitable.
