The PDO threads non-surgical facelift has become one of the most popular and most requested treatments available today. It offer a minimally invasive way to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate your skin without the need for surgery. By using dissolvable threads made of polydioxanone (PDO), this treatment addresses sagging skin and improves skin texture. In this blog post, we’ll explore how PDO threads, both lifting and smooth, work hand in hand to achieve facelift results without surgery.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are thin, dissolvable sutures inserted into the skin to lift and support sagging areas. They also stimulate collagen production, promoting long-term skin tightening and rejuvenation. PDO threads are made from a safe, biodegradable material used in medical sutures. Over time, your body naturally absorbs the threads while continuing to produce collagen in the treated areas.
Lifting Threads: For Sagging Skin
Lifting threads, a key component of the PDO thread facelift, are designed to physically lift sagging skin. They have small barbs or cones that latch onto the skin, allowing your provider to gently pull and reposition it. This creates an immediate lift in areas like the jawline, cheeks, and neck. In addition to lifting, the threads stimulate collagen production, which gradually improves skin firmness over time. Lifting threads are ideal for addressing issues like jowls, drooping cheeks, and sagging skin around the jawline.
Smooth Threads: For Skin Rejuvenation
While lifting threads focus on repositioning skin, smooth threads target skin texture and fine lines. Smooth threads are inserted under the skin to stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. These threads don’t lift the skin but rather improve its overall appearance. They are perfect for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and crepey skin in areas like the forehead, under the eyes, and around the mouth. Smooth threads help create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful look over time.
How Are Lifting and Smooth Threads Incorporated?
Lifting and smooth threads often work together to provide a comprehensive facial rejuvenation. For example, lifting threads can be used to tighten and lift sagging areas like the jawline, while smooth threads can be inserted around the eyes or forehead to reduce fine lines. This combination allows for a natural-looking enhancement without drastic changes. Your provider customizes the treatment based on your individual needs, ensuring the most effective results.
Benefits of PDO Threads
The main advantage of PDO threads is that they provide immediate and long-term results. Lifting threads offer an instant lift, while smooth threads improve skin texture over time. Both types of threads stimulate collagen production, which helps maintain the results for up to 18 months. Additionally, PDO thread treatments are minimally invasive, require little downtime, and provide a natural-looking improvement.
Unlike surgical facelifts, PDO thread treatments do not require incisions or anesthesia. Most people can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
How Long Do PDO Thread Results Last?
The results from PDO threads can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and the type of thread used. Lifting threads tend to last longer due to their structural support, while smooth threads provide lasting benefits through collagen stimulation. After the threads dissolve, the collagen continues to maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Periodic treatments can help prolong the results, ensuring your skin stays youthful and lifted.
Conclusion
PDO threads offer an effective non-surgical facelift option, combining lifting and smooth threads for a complete facial rejuvenation. Lifting threads provide an instant lift to sagging skin, while smooth threads improve texture and reduce wrinkles. This dual approach ensures natural, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
