Facelifts using PDO (polydioxanone) threads involve the insertion of a PDO face lifting thread needle into the skin to lift and tighten sagging facial tissues. These threads have barbs or cones that grip the skin and anchor it in a lifted position, providing immediate and noticeable results. During the procedure, a trained medical professional inserts the PDO threads into targeted areas of the face using a thin needle.
The threads are strategically placed to lift and support areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
As the PDO threads are inserted, they stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps maintain skin firmness and elasticity. Over time, the newly formed collagen strengthens and supports the skin, further enhancing the lifting and tightening effects of the procedure. Unlike traditional facelift surgery, PDO thread lifts are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime. Patients can typically resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure, although some mild swelling or bruising may occur.
One of the advantages of PDO thread lifts is their versatility, as they can be used to address various signs of aging, including sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of volume. Additionally, PDO threads are biodegradable and gradually dissolve over time, leaving behind natural-looking results that can last for several months to a year, depending on individual factors such as skin quality and lifestyle habits.
