This facelift procedure utilizes specially designed, dissolvable thread materials that are placed strategically beneath the skin to achieve results similar to its surgical counterpart, in much less time, and without the pain or long recovery period.
These threads, sometimes known as PDO threads, are composed of polydioxanone – a material that has been used in surgical procedures for years. Using an ultra-fine needle, the threads are placed beneath the skin, remaining there to provide a lift while stimulating the production of fresh, new collagen – a vital skincare protein, that makes up the majority of our body’s structural connective tissue.
As we age, our body becomes depleted of collagen, and this causes a loss in overall facial volume – leading to wrinkles, lines, and loose, sagging skin. The added collagen restores this lost volume and lifts the loose, sagging skin to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles & fine lines, while providing the skin with added elasticity, and improving the overall tone, texture, and quality over time. Within 6 months or so, the PDO threads will slowly dissolve having done their job.
The procedure itself only takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete, possibly longer depending on the amount of correction needed and the location of the treatment area. Patients should expect almost immediate results that progressively improve until this point; the results typically last anywhere from 1 to 2 years – without re-administration.
