A good candidate for PDO Thread Lifts suffers from mild to moderate skin laxity and desires a non-surgical option to lift and tighten the skin. It’s ideal for those who are not ready for more invasive procedures like a facelift but still want noticeable improvements in their appearance.
Initial results from PDO Thread Lifts can often be seen immediately after the procedure, with more significant improvements becoming visible within a few weeks. The full effects, including the increased collagen production, are typically seen around three months after the treatment.
The results from PDO Thread Lifts generally last between 12 to 18 months. There are several factors that can affect the longevity of the results, including the patient’s age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits. Regular maintenance treatments prolong the effects of the treatment.
PDO Thread Lifts involve minimal downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities after a day or two. Bruising, swelling, or tenderness near the treatment site are common side effects that resolve within a few days.
Before a PDO Thread Lift, it’s advisable to avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol. After the procedure, patients should avoid excessive facial movements, strenuous exercise, and sleeping on the treated areas for a few days to allow the threads to settle properly.
Local anesthesia is used during a PDO Thread Lift to ensure comfort. A fine needle or cannula is used to insert the threads beneath the skin. There is some immediate lifting and tightening of the skin after the procedure, which typically takes 45 minutes to an hour.
