The
threads used in the Thread Lift are made of soluble PDO which is a material
that has been used in medicine for many years, mainly in surgery. However,
research has shown that PDO relaxes muscles and tendons, and also stimulates
the neocollagenesis process, which encourages the production of new collagen in
the skin. PDO also stimulates the synthesis of elastin and hyaluronic acid in
the skin, both of which are vital for keeping the skin looking plump and
youthful.
The PDO thread is inserted
into the skin through a very fine needle. Depending on the area to be treated,
the thread is introduced into either the skin itself, the subcutaneous fat, or
the muscle. A lifted appearance can be seen immediately following the
treatment, however, the results will improve in the following days and weeks as
the PDO stimulates neocollagenesis, which in turn produces collagen. The
overall texture of the skin is improved; it becomes thicker, tighter and firmer
and fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed away.
Different thicknesses and
types of thread are used for different areas of the face. Short, non-barbed
threads can be used to treat fine lines on the face, as well as tightening and
lifting areas such as the jawline and neck. Thicker “cogs” or barbed threads
can give a significant improvement to the mid and lower face. Sometimes we will
use a combination of both non-barbed and barbed threads to give the best
results.
The threads are naturally
absorbed by the body in six to eight months, however, the effect of the treatment
can last for up to two years.
