THREAD LIFTS

A thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment, with the aim to rejuvenate, tighten and lift the skin. While anti-wrinkle injections mainly focus on softening unwanted lines and filler treatment restores volume, only threads are able to physically lift up skin that has lost its elasticity. You may have heard the saying PDO thread lift, the letters PDO refer to Polydioxanone. Polydioxanone has been used as surgical suture material since the 1970 and has an excellent safety record. It breaks down entirely after about 6-8 months. When it was discovered that the body produces collagen alongside PDO sutures its potential in aesthetic medicine became evident. Today we use threads attached to fine needles to place them under the skin in a mesh-like fashion. The body generates vast amounts of new collagen along the threads which leads to impressive tightening of the skin. Deep lines, folds and saggy skin can be treated without the need for surgery. In recent years barbed threads have been introduced which allow an immediate lifting effect upon placement.

• Jowls
• Marionette lines
• Smokers lines
• Saggy lower face
• Double chin
• Saggy neck
• Naso-labial folds
• Hollow under eyes
• Droopy brows
• Unwanted lines anywhere on the face even under the eyes

PDO Threads can very effectively strengthen the contour of the face, reduce roundness, lift sagging skin in the cheeks, jowls, neck and also produce an excellent eye brow lift.

The best candidates are men and women who are beginning to experience the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, drooping of the brow, sagging of the mid and lower face, visible jowls and loose skin on the neck.

For the face, these would be lifting of the eye brows, naso-labial folds, marionette lines, cheeks, jaw line and double chins. For the body, good results are achieved with tightening of loose skin on the arms, thighs and abdomen.

These threads are 100% Polydioxanone which is a clinically proven bio-compatible and bio-absorbable material that is already widely used in medical suturing.

PDO Thread Therapy can be used alone or can be combined with other treatments to deliver optimal results eg: Fillers, Anti-wrinkle injections, Micro-needling, Peels, Radiofrequency and Fractional laser treatments.

Only trained professionals who have attended training and are experienced in delivering facial aesthetic treatment are certified to perform this procedure.

This varies depending on the patient’s age at the time of treatment, the quality of the skin, degree of sagging and the number of threads used. However, studies have shown that results can last between 2-3 years based on lifestyle.

PDO Thread lifting is a very safe procedure and complications are extremely rare. Minor complications may include temporary swelling and bruising. Patients may feel slight tightness or a pulling sensation following the treatment but this subsides over a few weeks.

Prices start at around £200 for smokers lines and then increase depending on the number of areas treated.

STAGES OF THREAD LIFT TREATMENT

Local anaesthetic is injected into the treatment area. The PDO thread will then be introduced using a cannula or micro-needle in the required area. The procedure takes around 45-60 minutes, depending on what treatment you will require. You will be able to fully resume your everyday routine and social commitments within a couple of days, in case of mono threads even within 1 hour after treatment.. PDO Therapy is a tailor made treatment which can be adjusted to your requirements at any time. When you combine PDO Therapy with Fillers and anti-wrinkle treatment great results can be achieved.

After the placement of PDO (Polydioxanone) threads, patients can expect to see both immediate and gradual improvements in their skin’s appearance. PDO threads are a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment used for skin lifting and tightening. Here’s what typically happens after the placement of PDO threads:

1. Immediate Lift:
– Patients often experience an immediate lift in the treated areas. This is due to the physical support provided by the threads as they are strategically placed under the skin to lift and tighten sagging tissues.

2. Stimulated Collagen Production:
– Over the following weeks, PDO threads stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Collagen is a crucial protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin, contributing to a more youthful appearance.

3. Gradual Improvement:
– The full benefits of PDO thread treatments become more apparent over time. As collagen production increases, the skin continues to improve in texture, tone, and elasticity, resulting in a more lifted and youthful look.

4. Long-Lasting Results:
– The effects of PDO thread treatments are long-lasting, and results can persist for several months to a year or more, depending on the individual’s skin condition, age, and lifestyle factors.

5. Minimal Downtime:
– PDO thread treatments are known for their minimal downtime. Patients can usually resume normal activities shortly after the procedure. Some temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the thread insertion points may occur but typically subsides within a few days.

6. Post-Treatment Care:
– Patients are generally advised to avoid excessive facial movements, intense physical activities, and sun exposure for a short period after the treatment. Additionally, following any specific post-treatment care instructions provided by the practitioner is essential for optimal results.

7. Follow-Up Sessions:
– Depending on individual goals and the extent of sagging, patients may choose to undergo additional PDO thread treatments for maintenance or further enhancement.
