• • Non-Surgical Solution: PDO thread lifts offer a non-invasive way to achieve noticeable lifting and tightening without undergoing surgery or anesthesia.

  • Minimal Downtime: Unlike facelifts, the PDO thread lift requires minimal downtime. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days.

  • Long-Lasting Results: Results can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of threads used and individual factors like age and skin condition.

  • Stimulates Collagen Production: As the PDO threads dissolve, they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, improving skin texture and tone over time.

  • Customizable: PDO thread lifts can be customized for different areas of the face or body, such as the jawline, cheeks, eyebrows, neck, or nasolabial folds.

  • Natural Results: The results are gradual and natural-looking, giving the skin a rejuvenated appearance without the “pulled” look associated with more invasive procedures.

  • Reduced Wrinkles: PDO threads help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, creating smoother skin.

  • Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is relatively painless, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort during the treatment.

PDO thread lifts are ideal for individuals who are looking for a non-invasive solution to lift and tighten sagging skin, without the need for surgery or downtime. However, there are some factors to consider:

Ideal Candidates:

• Mild to Moderate Skin Laxity: Those experiencing mild to moderate sagging of the face, neck, or jawline.

• Preventative Anti-Aging: Younger individuals (30s-40s) seeking to prevent early signs of aging and improve skin quality.

• No Desire for Surgery: People who want a lift without the invasiveness, risks, and recovery time associated with traditional facelifts.

• Healthy Individuals: People in good overall health with no significant underlying medical conditions that may interfere with the procedure or healing process.

Not Recommended For:

• Individuals with active skin infections, eczema, or psoriasis in the treatment area.

• Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• People who are allergic to certain materials or who have a history of keloid scarring.

• Individuals with severe skin laxity may require more invasive procedures like a traditional facelift.

During a PDO thread lift procedure, a trained specialist inserts the PDO threads beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. These threads are made from a medical-grade material that is safe, non-toxic, and eventually dissolves. As the threads are placed in the dermal layer, they immediately create a mechanical lift, but the real benefit comes as the threads stimulate the skin to produce more collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Consultation: Your specialist will assess your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the areas that would benefit from PDO threads.

2. Numbing: A topical numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to ensure minimal discomfort.

3. Thread Insertion: PDO threads are inserted using a needle or cannula, placed precisely under the skin in the targeted areas to lift and tighten the skin.

4. Collagen Stimulation: Over the next several months, the threads stimulate the production of collagen, improving skin elasticity and tone.

5. Dissolving Threads: PDO threads are gradually absorbed by the body over 6-12 months, leaving behind firmer, tighter skin.

To ensure the best results and a smooth recovery, it’s important to follow pre-care instructions prior to the PDO thread lift.

• Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood thinners, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 48 hours before your procedure to minimize bruising.

• Avoid Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours before your procedure, as it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.

• Discontinue Retinoids: If you're using retinoids, stop for at least a week before treatment to minimize irritation or skin sensitivity.

• No Tanning: Avoid tanning or excessive sun exposure for at least a week before the procedure to prevent skin sensitivity.

• Avoid dental procedures 30 days post treatment

• Consult Your Provider: Make sure to discuss any underlying health conditions with your provider to ensure you're a suitable candidate for PDO threads.

Following your PDO thread lift, following proper post-care guidelines is crucial to achieving the best results and minimizing any potential side effects.

• Avoid Touching the Area: Refrain from touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas for the first few days.

• Keep Head Elevated: For the first 1-2 nights, try to sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling and discomfort.

• Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from intense physical activities, exercise, or heavy lifting for at least 2 weeks after the procedure.

• No Heat Exposure: Avoid hot showers, saunas, or direct heat to the treated areas for at least 2 weeks to minimize swelling and bruising.

• Gentle Skincare: Use mild, non-irritating skincare products and avoid products containing acids, retinol, or alcohol for the first week after treatment.

• Follow-up Appointment: Schedule any necessary follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.

• Monitor for Complications: Mild bruising, swelling, or redness is common immediately after the procedure and should subside within a few days. If you experience excessive pain, infection, or other unusual symptoms, contact your provider promptly.
