Thread lifting originated in Korea more than 20 years ago, where women prefer to do thread lifting instead of going down the surgical route. They first used gold threads to lift the face.
They love it for the natural effect and long-term prevention of premature aging, and more recently PDO threads that naturally are absorbed by the body. PDO is a safe synthetic thread that has been used for over 3 decades in pediatric cardiac surgery.
The key difference in the new PDO threads and the older generation lifts, such as the Contour or Day Lift, is that the latter used materials that did not dissolve. These materials held material in place but did not attract fibroblast that then create the natural regeneration process.
Once inserted, the PDO threads attract fibroblasts then dissolve over four to six months. All that remains in the body is the newly regenerated tissue.
Eye Brow Lift
Loss of volume in the temple and heaviness in the brow can be address by lifting brow area up and out on natural vectors. The result is refreshing. Two barbed threads actively hold lifted skin in place and smooth treads interlaced in the area produce more collagen production to actively fill the tissue.
Glabella Lift
A small number of smooth threads are added in a pattern to smooth the furrow. This is done in conjunction with neurotoxin that relax the muscles of the area allowing the new collagen to smooth in area.
This treatment is an excellent choice for the patient that has been chasing lines with neurotoxin and needs some structure created to smooth existing lines. It costs less than filler, takes about 10 minutes, and has no downtime.
Benefits of PDO Thread Lift
The PDO Thread Lift is growing in popularity for many reasons. Patients love their PDO Thread Lift from start to finish because:
The results look natural.
A PDO Thread Lift leaves no scars. The biocompatible threads will absorb into the body within four to six months of treatment.
The procedure can treat many areas.
Patients can tighten and lift their lower face, neck, jawline, brows, cheeks, or areas of their body like their knees or stomach.
It is a perfect option for patients who want to address their facial aging without surgery. Patients who are not interested in or ready for a surgical procedure, like a facelift, can get long-lasting anti-aging outcomes with a PDO Thread Lift.
The treatment is comfortable.
PDO Thread Lifts injections are quick and received under topical or local anesthesia.
Thread Lifts are versatile.
PDO Thread Lift is easily combined with additional rejuvenating procedures, like Botox and fillers, for a one-stop complete rejuvenation treatment. PDO Thread Lift can also touch up results accomplished with an earlier surgery or procedure.
Very little downtime is required.
Patients will want to avoid exaggerated facial movements for the first few days of recovery. Some swelling and bruising can occur, but patients are free to return to their daily activities same-day if they choose.
