If you are put off by traditional surgery or do not like the idea of general anaesthetic, then a thread lift is a perfect solution as it is minimally invasive and can be carried out under local anaesthetic. The threads themselves dissolve after a period of time, but the effects generally last between 2 – 3 years, depending on factors like your age, your facial structure and how many threads you had inserted. Over the following few months after the procedure, the PDO stimulates the production of skin-boosting collagen and elastin, leading to continued improvements. First, the threads physically lift and tighten the face, creating an almost immediate improvement in appearance. Benefits of PDO Thread Lifting – A PDO Thread Lift has the benefit of combining two anti-aging factors.
PDO THREAD SKIN
As collagen-loss is one of the key features of aging, prompting the skin to produce more is the reason PDO Thread Lifting can create such a youthful appearance – especially when combined with the elastin and Hyaluronic Acid production that PDO also encourages. PDO has been shown to relax muscles and tendons, while stimulating the skin to produce new collagen. These threads are dissolvable, but they have other properties that resulted in doctors ultimately using them for non-surgical face lifting techniques. What Does “PDO” Mean and How Does it Work – PDO stands for Polydioxanone, a special type of monofilament that has been used in surgical applications for many years.
