If you are looking for a less invasive procedure to improve your facial appearance but don’t want to for facelift surgery, you might consider a PDO Thread Lift. Let’s understand the treatment in detail:
A PDO Thread Lift is a non-surgical & minimally invasive treatment where a cosmetic surgeon uses dissolvable, FDA-approved PDO (Polydioxanone) threads to tighten & lift sagging skin.
A Thread Lift is an increasingly popular anti-aging treatment that involves biodegradable medical sutures to improve overall skin texture, fine lines, and elasticity by triggering collagen production.
This non-surgical treatment is typically used to treat those facial parts experiencing signs of aging. The most treated areas include are:
One of the good things about a Thread lifting procedure is that it only takes 30-60 minutes. The patient can return to their daily routine immediately after the treatment, but with necessary after-care precautions.
Before the treatment starts, an aesthetic & cosmetic surgeon will apply a topical numbing agent and local anesthesia to the treatment site.
Once local anesthesia has taken effect, the treatment will be started. The PDO Threads are inserted under your skin using a thin needle called a Cannula. The procedure takes about an hour. Once various threads are inserted into the appropriate layer of skin, the excess threads are cut off.
The patient can go home right after a Thread Lift Non-Surgical Facial Treatment. Sometimes patients may experience bruising and swelling around the area, but these are temporary.
A cosmetic surgeon will provide a few aftercare instructions to the patient for taking care of the treated area at home, such as:
Although a local anesthetic is given before the procedure so that the patient experiences no pain, there can be mild discomfort and soreness during the treatment.
A PDO Thread Lift Procedure is generally best for people who:
The results of the treatment are visible immediately after the procedure. With time, this lifting effect improves, and six months after the procedure, when collagen is stimulated around the threads, younger-looking skin gets noticeable.
The results of the Thread Lift Treatment Service last for up to 2-3 years depending on several factors, including the type & quality of threads, the patient’s lifestyle, and the body’s rate of metabolism. Over time, these threads get dissolved in the body.
There are several types of thread lifts available, including:
A PDO Thread Lift is a non-invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production and cellular renewal to lift & tighten the sagging skin instantly. Individuals can get improved skin texture with lasting results. For patients who aren’t willing to undergo major face-lifting surgery, a PDO Thread Lift Procedure is a perfect alternative to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
A PDO Thread Lift is minimally invasive, so recovery time is short. Generally, patients resume regular activities within one week following the procedure.
Since PDO Thread Lift treatments are non-surgical & less invasive, there isn’t much to do for the patient to prepare. However, a few precautionary measures should be ensured to get the best results. Below are things that patients must avoid one to two days before treatment, including:
