Description

PDO threads present cutting-edge technology for gentle, natural-looking thread lifting through a non-invasive technique. Crafted for effective facial rejuvenation without resorting to surgery, this approach minimises downtime, comes at a relatively lower cost, and entails reduced risks and minimal post-treatment care.

This procedure targets and reverses key ageing effects, addressing wrinkles, sagging skin, deep creases, folds, and poor skin texture. It works to elevate and firm the skin, enhancing the contour of drooping facial features, uplifting cheeks or eyebrows, combating eye bags and smile lines, tightening sagging neck skin, elevating the smile and mouth angle, and even addressing smokers’ lines.

This non-invasive method yields remarkable rejuvenating outcomes and is nearly painless, leaving no visible scars or incisions.
Employing nearly invisible threads beneath the skin, this procedure strategically ‘lifts’ tissues to restore them to a more youthful position while simultaneously smoothing out wrinkles and lines.

Furthermore, the thread lift process stimulates the skin’s collagen and new cell production as a natural reaction to the threads, amplifying the results.

Rather than resembling a semi-surgical thread lift, PDO threads function more akin to a dermal filler, though they remain as threads within the skin rather than an injectable solution.

PDO spring threads are a variant of absorbable threads utilised for skin firming and revitalisation. Polydioxanone (PDO) denotes a biocompatible material commonly found in medical sutures. These threads aim to stimulate collagen generation, elevate loose skin, and refine the overall texture and tautness of the treated region.
The term “spring threads” commonly refers to PDO threads featuring a coiled or spiral structure. These threads incorporate small barbs or cogs along their length, aiding in securing them within the skin and delivering a lifting impact. The spiral design of the threads amplifies their lifting efficacy.

Throughout the PDO spring thread procedure, the practitioner inserts these threads into the skin with a fine needle. Once implanted, these threads establish a framework effect, elevating and bolstering drooping skin. Over time, the threads gradually dissolve, yet their presence triggers collagen synthesis, further enhancing skin firmness and flexibility in the treated area.

The PDO threads boast several distinct advantages:

• Ultra-fine threads naturally break down within the body over 6-8 months, with the results naturally dissipating around 18 months.
• The transparent material remains unseen within the skin.
• Threads lack cones, hence eliminating tissue damage.
• They boast an excellent safety track record, akin to the threads utilised in cardiac and other surgical sutures.
The essence of PDO thread lifting lies not only in repositioning the skin but also in inciting the body’s natural response to a ‘foreign body,’ prompting collagen production and augmenting blood circulation to contract the tissue.
