PDO Threads Lift: Maximising Your Age

PDO Threads Lift: Maximising Your Age

Explore the world of PDO thread lift treatment, where you can achieve a stunning facial transformation without the complexity of surgery. This minimally invasive procedure gives your skin a remarkable lift, making you look younger and more radiant. It targets wrinkles, firms up your skin, and enhances your facial contours for a complete rejuvenation.

 

The key to a captivating appearance is the ‘V-shape.’ With age and gravity, this natural contour can fade or even reverse. PDO thread lifts work in two ways: they create a framework to maintain your natural ‘V-shape’ or gently lift tissues and reposition your skin to restore it.

 

PDO Mono Threads, often called ‘short threads.’ They are designed to provide an invigorating skin treatment with many benefits. This treatment increases skin firmness, thickness, and texture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. When these threads are placed under your skin, they stimulate collagen production, gradually revitalising and tightening your skin.

PDO thread lifting offers a range of benefits:

Stimulates Collagen: After PDO threads are inserted, your body triggers collagen production, promoting skin health and overall structure. 

Enhances Texture: Increased collagen due to thread lifting boosts skin density and hydration, smoothing wrinkles, fine lines, and rough patches, ultimately improving skin texture.

Tightens Skin: Comparable to skin-tightening methods like dermal fillers, thread lifts rejuvenate by plumping and tightening. They counter the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which causes sagging, restoring youthful fullness.

Reduces Wrinkles: Thread lifting's collagen induction minimises fine lines and wrinkles, effectively hydrating and repairing skin, making them less prominent and filling out the skin.

Safe Materials: PDO threads are biodegradable, medically safe, and naturally absorbed by the body, maintaining safety and promoting tissue health.

Lasting Results: Unlike short-lived injectables, thread lifts offer results lasting up to three years. Healthy habits extend outcomes, with PDO threads absorbed within six months.

Minimally Invasive: Unlike surgeries, thread lifting is non-invasive, requiring no incisions or downtime. Appointments are quick, lasting 30-60 minutes, with minimal recovery compared to surgical alternatives.

Synergy with Other Treatments: Face threading lifts can be combined with treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, Botox, and dermal fillers to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals, even extending results of previous surgeries.

Typically, a thread lift suits those who:

  • Display initial ageing indications.
  • Fall within the late 30s to early 50s age range.
  • Seek subtle enhancements, not dramatic changes.
  • Prefer to avoid surgical procedures.
  • Previously underwent a facelift or neck lift and desired rejuvenation.

Given its minimal risks, a thread lift becomes viable for individuals with specific conditions unsuited for traditional facelifts, like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease.

During the procedure, a preloaded needle is gently inserted under the skin on the face or body. As the needle is removed, the thread remains under the skin, triggering a natural skin response. These threads are carefully positioned to stimulate collagen, address volume loss, and smooth folds. PDO threads lift jawline and tighten areas like the neck or brows. Over 4-6 months, the threads are absorbed, without leaving scars. As threads dissolve, your body generates collagen to replace them, resulting in outcomes that often last a year, occasionally up to 2 years.

Facial threading lift areas are:

  • Horizontal and vertical lines on the forehead
  • Elevating the forehead
  • Lifting the brow
  • Outer and lower brow areas
  • Eyebrows showing signs of sagging or drooping
  • Addressing lower eyelid concerns: under-eye bags, puffiness, and dark circles
  • Enhancing the cheeks
  • Softening nasolabial folds
  • Minimising marionette lines
  • Smoker's lines and smile wrinkles
  • Improving sagging cheeks
  • Tightening the area under the jaw
  • Redefining the jawline
  • Smoothing creases on the cheeks
  • Refining the chin's appearance

Body areas for threads are: 

  • Neck and decolletage wrinkles
  • Enhancing and sculpting the breasts and chest
  • Addressing sagging skin and stretch marks on the buttocks, abdomen, arms, and legs
  • Restoring sensitivity to subcutaneous tissue and skin (post liposuction procedures)
  • Managing excess weight in areas such as arms, abdomen, ribs, thighs, and buttocks

Because PDO thread lifts are minimally invasive, extensive preparation isn’t necessary. Still, adopting precautionary steps can optimise your treatment outcomes. Refrain from the following one to two days prior to the procedure:

  • Alcohol consumption
  • Ginkgo supplements
  • Omega fish oil supplements
  • Chinese herbal medicine
  • Vitamin E intake
  • Intense workouts
  • Exposing yourself to steam rooms and saunas

Our aesthetic physicians meticulously perform the following steps:

  • Administer topical and local anaesthetics to numb the treatment areas.
  • Precisely mark the designated areas for thread insertion.
  • Insert PDO threads under the skin using a small hollow needle to achieve a subtle and natural lift while supporting droopy elements.
  • Ensure that the threads effectively grasp onto the droopy skin and soft tissue, repositioning it without the need for any surgical cuts or incisions.
  • Remove the hollow needle, leaving no visible scars behind.
  • Tailor the number of sutures to the desired lift effect, ensuring the best possible results for each patient.
  • Select and utilise PDO sutures of varying lengths and types to address the specific areas in need of lifting, such as the neck, nose, and any sagging skin.

For a smooth PDO thread lift recovery during the initial five nights, our aesthetic physician recommends the following:

  • Sleep on your back to prevent pressure on the treated areas.
  • Avoid makeup application during the first week to allow the skin to heal.
  • Refrain from activities such as facials, massages, and applying excessive pressure for a two-week period to avoid disrupting the healing process.
  • Steer clear of extreme exercise and alcohol consumption during the recovery period, as these can affect the outcome of the procedure.
  • Keep your skin moisturised and well-hydrated to support the healing process and maintain the results of the PDO thread lift.

PDO Threads Lift Side Effects

There are minimal complications after PDO thread lift. A slight risk of bleeding may arise from the insertion points. Swelling and bruising might occur, usually resolving within a week. Immediately after the procedure, there can be some temporary skin tethering at the insertion site, which typically normalises within 48 hours. The risk of infection is low. PDO thread lift post care instruction, adhering to specific guidelines during the initial three weeks is crucial, including avoiding vigorous face washing, facial massages, additional aesthetic treatments, contact sports, and excessive facial movements during chewing. A compression garment is often provided for the first 24 to 48 hours, followed by wearing it at night over the next few weeks.

FAQs

The PDO thread lift treatment is a cutting-edge cosmetic method, effectively and swiftly elevating and firming lax skin on the face, neck, and body, requiring little recovery. In the past, a facelift was the sole choice for sagging cheeks and jowls.

The outcomes can endure for a period ranging from 1 to 3 years. If you seek a non-surgical method to attain firmer, more youthful skin, a PDO thread lift might be the perfect choice for you.

A thread lift is also not a permanent solution. While a facelift can't entirely halt the ageing process, its results endure for numerous years.

We can suggest that, in most cases, patients may require two PDO threads on each side for the jawline. However, specific measurements help determine this, and it's crucial to proceed accordingly.

Following a Thread Lift Treatment, there's minimal disruption to your social or professional engagements. Pain medication and antibiotics are unnecessary. You might experience minor bruising, and occasionally, a face wrap is suggested to optimise outcomes. It's important to note that the wrap is utilised during nighttime, and with a touch of makeup, any traces are easily concealed.



No, PDO threading is not dangerous and local anaesthesia is administered to ensure you remain pain-free throughout a thread lift procedure. Following the procedure, you might encounter mild pain, discomfort, and soreness. To alleviate these sensations, you have the option to take an over-the-counter or prescribed pain reliever for a few days until the discomfort subsides.
