PDO threads – facelift without a scalpel

PDO face lift – what is it?

These threads are a great alternative to a surgical facelift. All thanks to strong, synthetic fibers made of polydioxanone, creating a uniform structure. The substance from which they are made penetrates the skin a few months after being introduced into it and then is completely dissolved in the tissue. During the gradual dissolution, the threads stimulate the synthesis of collagen and fibroblasts. In this way, they stimulate skin cells to renew.

Polydioxanone (PDO) is a material that has been used in medicine for many years. However, before that, it was mainly used in plastic surgery, urology and gynecology. This ingredient stimulates the production of collagen, a protein responsible for skin tension and firmness. The thread treatment involves inserting the material with a thin needle into specific areas of the facial skin. The applied thread stimulates the stimulation of processes that improve skin firmness, tension and elasticity. The product has all the necessary approvals and is approved for medical use throughout the European Union.

How does the procedure with the use of facial threads work?

The procedure with the use of threads is completely safe and does not leave any unsightly scars or incisions. Each procedure should be preceded by a medical consultation with a thorough discussion of the entire process. The speed of the procedure depends on how many threads are applied to the patient’s face. The treatment itself, on the other hand, involves inserting threads into specific areas of the skin with a thin needle, making single. The comfort and sensations are similar to those of the microneedling procedure. Usually, the area of the face where the threads are implanted is previously locally anesthetized. Immediately after the procedure, the skin may be slightly reddened, and small hematomas or bruises may also appear. They usually disappear within a few days. The first effects are visible immediately, but you should wait about two weeks for the actual results, which usually last up to a year.

Who is the PDO thread treatment dedicated to?

The treatment with the use of PDO threads for the face is dedicated to people who want to achieve a visible skin lifting effect. They reduce excessively unsightly signs of aging and reduce skin laxity. PDO thread treatment is recommended for people struggling with the problem of loose skin, drooping eyebrows or the so-called “double chin” effect. The treatment allows you to quickly regain a younger appearance and achieve the result of expressive emphasis on the oval of the face. The areas of the body that are most often subjected to the procedure are primarily around the eyes – in order to reduce the so-called crow’s feet or bags; cheeks or nasolabial folds. After the introduction of PDO threads, the skin becomes more hydrated, firmer and full of youthful glow.

PDO facial threads – recommendations and contraindications

The PDO facial thread treatment is safe and non-invasive in most cases. However, there are cases that are a categorical contraindication to starting the procedure of undergoing this type of treatment. These include primarily:

• cancer,
• autoimmune diseases,
• skin lesions,
• blood clotting disorders.

Before performing the procedure, it is recommended to have a medical consultation in order to exclude any abnormalities that could cause later complications. The price of the treatment is fully dependent on the amount of material used during the procedure. So how many PDO threads are injected into the face area? Usually 4 to 8 threads are used. However, there are more complicated procedures that require the use of more fibers. Therefore, when considering the costs and how many PDO threads will allow you to achieve the desired effect, it is worth consulting a specialist.

Effects of the treatment with PDO threads

The effect of implanting threads into the skin of the face is noticeable and almost immediate. Right after the end of the material application process, you can see a clear pulling up of the soft tissues of the face. The implanted threads create a kind of scaffolding for the face, improving its oval, thickening and firming the skin structure. They stimulate the production of new collagen in tissues, and the stimulation of fibroblasts stimulates the synthesis of elastin responsible for elasticity and elasticity. In addition, they affect the supply of essential amino acids, lift soft tissues, soften facial features and regulate skin tension on the cheeks. The improvement of the condition of the face is the result of several weeks of the material adaptation process. However, the final results can be observed after just a few weeks, when the flabby tissues are completely changed as a result of the synthesis of new skin proteins. The effect lasts about a year.
