What is the PDO Thread Lift?The PDO Thread Lift is a treatment which lifts and tightens sagging skin tissue, using threads made of Polydioxanone (PDO). The threads are introduced into the deeper layers of the skin. Once introduced, the threads produce 3 effects in the skin:
- Instant Skin Lifting through mechanical effects
- Cellular Renewal, through Collagen stimulation, and neovascularisation to improve skin texture, fine lines and elasticity
- Skin Tightening, by contracting fat tissue
About 6 months after the procedure, the PDO threads will disappear through simple hydrolysis (they are absorbable). The lifted facial contours will remain for about 3-6 months more, due to the
cellular rejuvenation effects. Your skin cells are stimulated to produce new collagen, and new blood vessels to improve skin micro-circulation. At the same time, the PDO threads cause the fat tissue to contract, producing a skin tightening and facial slimming effect.
What areas can be treated with PDO Thread Lift?The PDO thread lift is very versatile, allowing practically all areas of the face to be treated, including the:
- Under-eye area
- Eyebrows & Crow’s feet (wrinkles around eyes)
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds & Naso jugal folds
- Wrinkles around mouth
