Face Thread Lift @ Premier Clinic Bangsar

It’s year 2018 and people have been compliment me for looking younger than before. In fact, I am happy with my V-Shape Face with minimal puppet lines now. My secret? 

All thanks to the Face Thread Lift treatment that I have done at Premier Clinic Bangsar last December.

I visited Premier Clinic Bangsar on one fine day early December 2017. There, I told Dr. Foo Wing Jian about my concern of sagging chin. He has then examined and advised me for a face thread lift. Honest speaking, I was a bit skeptical at first because I was not prepared for it. However, Dr. Foo has explained to me thread lift was a minimal invasive non-surgical treatment which is fast and perfectly fine. The thread lift uses absorb-able fine thread to give immediate, visible lift. I felt much relieve with his explanation, and hence we proceeded to the thread lift treatment.

The nurse led me to another treatment room to apply numb cream on my whole face for around 30 minutes.
