Have you ever considered getting a facelift but don’t want to undergo surgery and all that it entails?

Fortunately, aesthetic medicine has evolved significantly in recent years. Now you can achieve almost the same results as a facelift with a less invasive technique: this time we’ll talk about PDO thread lifts.

The PDO thread lift technique is very similar to a facelift as it stimulates the subdermal tissues of the skin. Additionally, it improves cellular interconnection and the production of collagen, elastin, and elastic tissues. All of this significantly contributes to eliminating facial sagging and wrinkles, giving you a rejuvenated appearance.

These threads are made of polydioxanone, a absorbable and 100% biocompatible material that doesn’t cause any allergies, so you don’t need to worry about any adverse reactions.

Restore a natural and rejuvenated look to your face without going under the knife.

How do these threads work exactly?

This technique involves the implantation of very fine intradermal threads, crossed over the face in a fan or net-like pattern, which hold the facial tissue taut and firm the facial contour.

This treatment lasts about 30 to 40 minutes and is performed in the same medical office. There’s no need for surgery or any hospital stay. Local anesthesia is required in some cases, and once applied, a cannula will be inserted to guide the placement of the PDO threads without any incisions or sutures. Its long-term tensioning effect stimulates collagen production, improving skin quality and firmness.

After the treatment, the facial expression doesn’t change significantly. It’s not about creating or filling a new face, but rather preserving the facial structure naturally and achieving a balanced face. Additionally, it improves expression lines, folds, and wrinkles.

The natural production of collagen rejuvenates our face and improves signs of aging. It lifts the cheeks, wrinkles around the eyes, raises the eyebrows, improves the chin, and firms the neck and facial contour.

The results of the treatment can be seen three weeks after placement, with absorption occurring within 6 months. The effects can last between 12 and 18 months, and it causes no pain, allowing for a very rapid recovery and return to normal activities.

Can you imagine a facelift without surgery?

Now let’s recap the essentials about PDO threads:

• PDO threads do not cause rejection or allergies as they are antimicrobial and bioabsorbable.
• The thread material is Polydioxanone, which is absorbed within six months.
• Between 10 and 20 threads are inserted in each session, and their effects last from 1 to 2 years.
• Thread placement takes between 30 and 60 minutes.
• It can be combined with other treatments and cosmetic care.
• It rejuvenates from the inside out by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin surrounding each thread.
• Resuming normal life is uncomplicated as side effects are virtually nonexistent; only swelling or discomfort may occur for a few days.
• The origin of PDO threads can be traced back to Japan, where they were used as cardiac suture material, confirming their safety over the years.
• It’s not true that PDO threads are not recommended for those over 40, or that patients cannot wear makeup. It’s also false that they cause facial expressionlessness since facial expressions will remain the same as usual.

PDO thread lifts are especially recommended for correcting facial sagging (lifting cheeks, restoring facial contour, improving nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, raising eyebrows…)
