FACIAL THREADS FOR LIFTING AND COLLAGEN BUILDING

What is a PDO threadlift? Please explain the process?

The PDO threadlift consists of introducing multiple very gentle threads in an area with 2 actions in mind: a nice initial gentle tightening and a secondary improvement a few months later when the threads are replaced by collagen strands.

What can a PDO threadlift achieve for patients?

PDO floating threads tighten and improve the skin.

What patients are suitable and will benefit from this procedure?

Anyone. It can be done as a treatment for a suitably volumized patient who needs tightening or or skin improvement, or as a preventive procedure to prevent the face from sagging.

How long does the procedure take?

This will depend on the number of threads.
Typically a full face of threads requires 30-45 min.

Is the procedure painful?

Pain is minimal and it can become virtually pain free if a topical anaesthetic cream is applied 1 hour before the procedure.

What areas of the face neck and body are these threads suitable for?

• Mid face lift
• Lower face and jawline
• Inner thigh
• Buttocks
• Inner arm
• Fox eyes and brow lift

What are the risks associated with this procedure?
Bruising and swelling are the most common.

What is the downtime associated with this procedure?
Swelling for 48 hours. Bruising if it occurs, not in everyone- 7 days.

How long will the procedure last?

They are called floating threads and their tightening effect is due to the small pull from each individual thread. 

What do you like about the procedure?
