Thread lift is performed on the face, including the cheeks, browns, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and the neck. Your nurse will advise you on which type of PDO Thread Lift procedure to use on what areas.

The PDO Thread Lifts an effective non-surgical face lifting treatment that is suitable for anyone looking to improve the appearance of sagging skin. This treatment is suitable for someone who is willing to undergo some injections, and who wants to attain an immediate lift of the facial contours without undergoing a facelift surgery. It is best suited for men and women who are unwilling to tolerate the long downtime of a facelift surgery but want to look refreshed and lifted.

The PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that causes micro-injuries to the skin layers. Therefore, your injector may provide you with a local anesthetic before the procedure to relax and minimize the discomfort.

The procedure is best suited for men and women in their late 30’s to mid 50’s. This is when we commonly start to see the effects of ageing become apparent. Thread lifts can easily and safely be performed on the brows, cheeks, jawline, upper lip, marionette lines and neck. Several areas can be combined to provide a beautiful Mini Cosmetic Face Lift or a Full Cosmetic Face Lift.

Thread lifts will generally last from one to three years. The collagen enhanced sutures begin stimulating your natural collagen immediately and as they remain under the skin doing their wonderful job of lifting for a year or more until the sutures have dissolved, then your own collagen rejuvenates and continues to build, providing your skin with lasting long-term benefits.

Most people can return to normal activities the next day. Mild swelling and bruising can occur, and cover-up make-up may be necessary for a few days or weeks. Strenuous exercise is not recommended since straining right after the procedure may move the threads. It is recommended to keep a rested face for at least 24 to 48 hours.

PDO Thread lift treatment is not recommended for use in pregnant or lactating women, anyone with a history of an allergic reaction to the medical device or any of its active ingredients (Polydioxanone), as well as anyone with infected or inflamed skin, bleeding disorders, or individuals with a tendency to produce excessive scarring such as keloids and/or hypertrophic scars, unrealistic expectations, excessive skin laxity, autoimmune diseases, vascular disease, and other conditions that cause delayed healing.

Our medical treatments such as Dermal Fillers, Neuromodulators and Skin Rejuvenation are a nice compliment to your Thread Lift treatment depending on your treatment goals. Results from any treatment will last longer with regular facials and of course our medical grade skincare.

The vast majority of patients do not experience any side effects. Common and minor side effects include local irritation, bruising at the injection sites, suture extrusions, and temporary dimpling of the skin. Occasionally, a suture can show itself just below the skin. Most of these potential problems resolve over the following weeks to months after the procedure as the PDO threads break down and dissolve.

Rare side effects include infection, scarring, serious allergic reactions, anesthesia reactions, skin pigment changes, and damage to nerves and deeper structures.

This is not a complete list of side effects. Please contact us immediately if you experience any rare and/or unforeseeable side effects after your treatment.
