PDO THREAD LIFT

LIFT TO A NEW YOU

Procedure
Until recently, the only way to address problems caused by facial skin laxity—such as jowls and drooping cheeks—was facelift surgery.
A thread lift is a type of procedure wherein temporary sutures are used to produce a subtle but visible “lift” in the skin. This has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly and therefore lifting and tightening the face. In addition to being ideal for lifting the skin, threads combat aging in another way: by provoking the body’s “healing response” and causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas. This is important because of the vital role collagen plays in the aging process.

Polydioxanone Threads (PDO Threads) are absorbable threads that induce collagen production in the body. Depending on the type of injection technique, these procedures lift, tighten, add volume to the area treated and stimulates collagen production. PDO Threads are completely safe and have been FDA-Approved. PDO Thread material has been used for years in dissolving sutures, and the cosmetic applications described in this page have been used for years in Europe with great success. Threads should completely dissolve within 6 months following their insertion, leaving behind new collagen in their place.

There is virtually no risk of scarring, severe bruising, bleeding or other complications after having a thread lift. In rare cases, patients may experience irritation, infection or their sutures becoming visible under their skin. If this occurs, however, the sutures can simply be removed and the patient’s face will return to its prior state.
