FAQ
What is a PDO Thread Lift?
A PDO Thread Lift is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment designed to lift and tighten loose skin. This procedure utilises biodegradable Polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are similar to dissolvable sutures, ensuring a high level of safety.
The skin on the face and neck tends to sag over time due to the loss of skin elasticity and facial fat, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, jowls, and neck. A PDO thread lift can restore the youthful contours of the face and neck.
What Happens During a PDO Thread Lift?
During a PDO thread lift, several PDO threads are placed under the skin using a fine cannula or needle. The threads are carefully positioned in specific pre-marked areas. The number of threads used will depend on the size of the treatment area and the degree of lifting required.
The PDO threads have tiny anchors that hold the skin in the new position and provide the desired lift. The threads also stimulate the collagen and elastin fibres within the skin. Collagen and elastin are structural building blocks the skin needs to remain firm and tight.
What Can You Expect After Your PDO Thread Lift?
The PDO threads create a scaffold that lifts the skin and restores volume to sunken areas. The procedure also improves skin texture and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. A PDO thread lift will soften the appearance of facial lines such as forehead lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds.
The PDO threads dissolve within six to nine months, creating a natural lift and rejuvenated appearance. Your jaws will be more defined, and there will be an improvement in skin tone and texture.
Is a PDO Thread Lift Painful?
A PDO thread lift is performed under local anaesthesia which numbs the specific area and reduces discomfort during the procedure.
Are there Any Side Effects?
It is normal to experience some bruising and swelling after the procedure since multiple punctures are made in the skin during the thread lift. Fortunately, these effects typically diminish within a few days.
How Long Do the Results of a PDO Thread Lift Last?
You will notice an immediate improvement in your appearance after a PDO thread lift. Positive effects will continue over the following months as your body creates additional collagen and elastin. Results can last 12-18 months.
