During a PDO thread lift, absorbable sutures are used to lift sunken facial contours, reduce fat, tighten the skin, and harmonize the appearance of the features. The threads themselves are made from a biodegradable compound utilized by surgeons when they seal incisions. After the threads have accomplished their goals, they are harmlessly disposed of by the body as waste. A PDO thread lift works to promote collagen production, smoothing lines, wrinkles, and creases. Collagen is a protein that gives youthful complexions their supple beauty and attractive glow. As we age, our natural store of collagen decreases, but treatments like the PDO thread lift can replenish it.

Barbed threads – Barbed threads are ideal for providing a non-surgical cheek lift. Results tend to be visible quickly and leave the patient feeling more confident in their facial appearance. Over time, collagen regeneration helps to fortify the complexion internally and guarantees a long-lasting transformation. Smooth threads – Smooth threads can be placed in a crisscrossing mesh pattern, which is especially conducive to boosting collagen production. The end result is taut, youthful skin and the correction of lines, creases, folds, and wrinkles.

Clients who are not yet ready for a full surgical facelift or who do not wish to submit themselves to anesthesia risks will find that the PDO thread lift is a great option for revising the facial appearance. Ideal candidates are healthy, both emotionally and physically, and they are positive and realistic in their expectations.

While you may see some minor swelling and bruising after your PDO lift, these side effects tend to be most noticeable to only you and your practitioner. Discomfort can be well treated with over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol and Arnica pills. Results are usually visible instantly after a PDO thread lift. The skin looks more youthful and lifted, and its texture is smoother. Over time, as your supply of collagen is gradually restored, many of the most bothersome signs of aging will decline. The threads are absorbed over the course of about 9 months.
