REVOLUTIONARY SKIN & BODY REJUVENATION
A PDO thread lift, also known as a thread facelift, is a non-surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the skin of the face and neck using dissolvable threads. The procedure involves the insertion of threads under the skin using a fine needle, which is then gently pulled to lift and tighten the skin. The threads dissolve over time and stimulate collagen production, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. The treatment is minimally invasive and has a shorter recovery than traditional facelift surgery.
WHAT IS A THREAD LIFT?
A PDO Thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. The treatment involves inserting biodegradable threads underneath the skin, which are then carefully tightened to lift and support the skin. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which helps to improve the texture and firmness of the skin over time. Thread lift is recommended for those experiencing mild to moderate skin sagging and wanting to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance without surgery. The procedure is quick, safe, and produces natural-looking results with minimal downtime. The body gradually absorbs the threads over several months, but the lifting effects can last up to two years. Thread lift is particularly effective for lifting the cheeks, jowls, and neck. It can be combined with other non-invasive treatments, such as Neuromodulator and dermal fillers, for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

FAQ
- A face thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that involves inserting threads under the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas of the face. At the same time, a surgical facelift is a more invasive procedure that involves making incisions and removing excess skin to achieve a more youthful appearance.
- A face thread lift is quicker and less invasive than a surgical facelift, but the results are less dramatic and long-lasting.
- The results of a face thread lift can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on the thread used, your skin type, and the ageing process.
- Over time, the threads will dissolve and be absorbed by the body, but the collagen and elastin produced by the skin in response to the threads can continue to provide some lifting and tightening effects.
- A face thread lift is generally not a painful procedure, as it is typically performed under local anaesthesia, and you may only experience some mild discomfort or bruising afterwards.
- However, some people may have a higher pain tolerance and require additional pain management during the procedure.
