A PDO thread lift is a procedure that uses dissolvable sutures to rejuvenate and lift sagging skin. It's a cheaper and faster alternative to facelift surgery, but the results don't last as long and aren't as dramatic. Recovery from the procedure is minimal and it's often possible to return to work the same day.This too is why this treatment is now seeing a surge in demand with more and more people now consideration PDO Thread Lift treatments.

A PDO thread lift will offer significant results straight away, and you'll notice a tightening and lifting of the skin. It is also a treatment of very little disruption. A thread lift is a type of procedure wherein temporary sutures are used to produce a subtle but visible "lift" in the skin.

What you really need to know about this type of treatment

A PDO thread lift is a revolutionary new treatment in the world of aesthetics, but PDO threads themselves have been used safely for decades for various applications, like treating gynecological disorders or suturing incisions after medical procedures. When used as an aesthetic treatment, there are a few things you should know. First, it mechanically results in instant skin lifting. Second, it contracts fat tissue to result in instant skin tightening. Third, it promotes collagen production and neovascularization to renew your skin at the cellular level. All of this works together to give you enhanced skin texture, fewer fine lines and wrinkles and more elastic skin.

Key points to know of after you have had this treatment

There are not a lot of special after-care requirements to this treatment. However, you should hold off on any dental treatments for the first two weeks after your PDO thread lift. Holding your mouth open for an excessive period of time can affect the results of your treatment. Moreover, you’ll want to sleep on your back for the first couple of weeks. This ensures you don’t put too much pressure on one side of your face.

When you can begin to see the final end results

The final results of your PDO thread lift will be seen within one to two months of your treatment. How long it takes you personally depends a lot on your age. Your age is one of the leading factors in how quickly your body produces new, healthy collagen. Collagen is the protein responsible for plumping up your cheeks, filling in fine lines and smoothing out wrinkles.

The differences between a PDO Thread Lift and a Silhouette Soft Thread Lift

Both PDO thread lifts and Silhouette Soft thread lifts lift the skin. However, the distinctions between the two anti-aging treatments are important. PDO thread lifts are far more effective due to the nature of the treatment. Silhouette Soft thread lifts produce a volumizing effect by compressing the skin tissue. Moreover, PDO thread lifts are made of polydioxanone and use barbs to lift the skin. Contrastingly, Silhouette Soft threads are made up of PLLA threads and use cones to lift sagging skin. Finally, because PDO threads are gentler on the skin, more threads are used during treatment than a Silhouette Soft thread lift. Thus, the skin is lifted higher and more comfortably.

What is good is you can more or less resume life as you know it as soon as you have had the treatment

It mostly depends on the nature of your job and the environment you work in. You can return to work within one day to one week after the treatment. The time varies from job to job. If you have a strenuous job or one that requires plenty of activity and movement, for instance, personal training or nursing, then you might need more time before returning to work.

It can last a while

You’re probably wondering about the results that can be achieved with a thread lift. When will results appear and how long will they last? One of the great things about this treatment is that it offers some immediate lifting and support for the skin while also spurring long-term renewal through added collagen production. That means you’ll notice some initial firming right away, with your results fully developing with six months. Results vary from patient to patient, but most enjoy their new look for as long as 18 months. You’ll also be able to schedule additional treatments to extend your new look.

Overall

The threads are the reason this treatment is so versatile and successful. Thread lifts first became available in the 1990s, but those threads could only be pulled in one direction, which meant sometimes patients got results that looked too tight. Those threads were also designed to remain permanently in place, which sometimes proved problematic.

Today’s dissolvable threads can be injected in a mesh-like pattern that offers a more natural, three-dimensional, lift. The growing sophistication of the threads themselves and how they’re designed has also led to better results. Today’s threads are available in different textures, which contributes to the treatment’s versatility. Straight, smooth threads, for example, can be injected in a cross-hatch or mesh-like design that can serve as a scaffolding of sorts for collagen to grow on. Other threads have barbs on them that can hook into loose skin from beneath, lifting it back into place. Screw-type threads are often turned to when patients want to increase volume in the face.
