The Threadlift is a cosmetic procedure, often called the “non-surgical facelift,” that utilizes sutures (PDO threads) to enhance the youthful appearance of the face and neck. The sutures are carefully inserted beneath the skin, gently repositioning it to encourage the natural production of collagen and provide a subtle lifting effect. Here’s what you need to know.
What Are PDO Threads?
Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are utilized in non-surgical cosmetic treatments to enhance skin texture, volume, and contour. These threads are synthetic and absorbable monofilament and are similar to dissolvable sutures that have been utilized by surgeons for decades. Over time, the threads naturally dissolve and are replaced by fresh collagen and elastin.
What Does the Threadlift Procedure Address?
A Threadlift can address many factors, including sagging and aging skin on the forehead, nasolabial folds, midface, neck, and jowls.
PDO threads can be used to increase the integrity of the skin in areas where your skin appears “crepey.” The procedure can also diminish lines along your upper lip and the fine lines that develop in your cheeks.
Where the skin looks rougher, the threads can tighten and lift the area to create a smoother and more refreshed look.
The Benefits of Non-Surgical Threadlifts
When compared to surgical facelifts, a PDO Threadlift is less invasive, more affordable, and has a lower risk of complications. When done by a qualified professional, there is less risk of scarring, serious bruising, or bleeding than a traditional surgical facelift.
The procedure is perfect for those who may not require a full facelift but want to smooth out smaller wrinkles and lines. The duration of the results from a Threadlift can range from nine months to four years, with an average lasting time of one to three years. However, individual experiences may vary.
The results are only temporary as the threads naturally dissolve over time. The good news is that getting another Threadlift procedure may be possible in the future. We recommend a follow-up each year to see if you have areas that require a touch-up.
