Non-surgical lift for brows, face or neck
A PDO thread lift is a nonsurgical facial rejuvenation procedure that passes threads beneath the surface of your skin to provide some immediate lift, stimulate collagen growth, and firm the tissue over time. Appropriately positioned by an experienced practitioner they can create subtle, natural-looking results and a more youthful appearance, especially around the lower face and jowls.
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a dissolvable material that’s commonly used in surgical sutures. You may also know it as a “sugar lift,” since PDO threads are made from long chains of polysaccharide (also known as sugar).
As face threads are absorbed over the course of six months, they trigger a natural healing response that boosts your natural collagen production and gradually firms the tissue. Some threads also have tiny barbs or cones that help grip the tissue but price and quality does vary so beware and always talk with a well qualified Doctor before considering this procedure.
The procedure has been dubbed a “lunchtime facelift” because it’s quick, with minimal downtime compared to facelift surgery. There’s a lot of hype and marketing about how quick and easy the procedure is, but it can go wrong and should not be done casually. For best results, seek out a an experienced Cosmetic Doctor who has had extensive experience and training and who really knows facial anatomy ensuring you’re a good candidate for a PDO thread lift procedure.
