What is a PDO Barbed Thread Lift?
Polydioxanone (PDO) barbed thread lifts are a revolutionary cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine, barbed threads. These threads are inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten sagging tissues. The barbs on the threads latch onto the underside of the skin to provide support and lift the area. This procedure is especially popular for facial rejuvenation, addressing issues like sagging cheeks, jowls, and brows.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
The treatment usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
How Does the Procedure Work ?
The treatment involves inserting fine PDO threads into the subcutaneous layer of the skin using small needles. These threads can be smooth, twisted, or barbed, depending on the desired effect. The barbed threads are especially effective for lifting, as they latch onto the skin to provide support and lift sagging areas.
What is it Best used for?
PDO thread lifts are commonly used for facial areas, including the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brow area. They can also be used on other parts of the body, like the abdomen and arms. I feel the most beneficial area for using Barbed PDO Threads are the the cheeks in people with very lax skin.
What is the Immediate Lifting Effect ?
- The main benefit of the PDO thread lift is the immediate lifting effect. The threads provide physical support to the tissue and can reposition the skin.
- PDO threads stimulate collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein responsible for maintaining skin strength and elasticity. The increased collagen production helps improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles over time.
- Compared to traditional facelifts, PDO thread lifts are minimally invasive and involve a shorter recovery time. Most patients can return to their regular activities within a few days.
- The results of a PDO thread lift can last between 1 to 3 years, depending on the individual’s skin condition and lifestyle factors. The threads themselves dissolve within 6 to 8 months, but the collagen produced in response to the threads extends the duration of the results.
- Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and soreness at the injection sites. Serious complications are rare but can include infection, nerve damage, or asymmetry.
- Not everyone is a suitable candidate for a PDO thread lift. Ideal candidates are typically in their late 30s to early 50s with mild to moderate skin laxity. It’s not recommended for those with severe skin laxity or very thin skin.
