Why use PDO threads for anti-aging?
Thread lifting provides effective, long lasting lift without surgery. The treatment uses a series of microfilaments positioned at specific areas of the face to lift the eye brows, lift sagging skin over the cheeks, reduce nasolabial and marionette lines, define the jawline, and reduce “necklace wrinkles” on chins. Strategic placement of the filament in the direction of youthful vectors stimulates collagen which then provides renewed support to sagging skin. PDO threads are 100% bio-compatible and bioabsorbable material.
Generally, these filaments have two modes of action:
1. A lifting action for immediate yet discreet results. This will improve over a period of 2-6 months as new collagen grows, giving further lift and tightening to the skin.
2. A rejuvenating action for gradual and natural results: re-absorption of the filament component helps skin boost its natural collagen, thus further redefining the features being treated.
The corrections made are immediately noticeable and improve even more over the first 12 weeks. Threading allows us tp provide treatment to areas not addressed by dermal fillers or neurotoxins alone. The initial cost of threads is significantly less than plastic surgery and even less than dermal fillers to achieve similar results. Threads can be used alone or to compliment other treatments. Most of the time a combination of threads, filler and toxin are used to achieve optimum results and value. Utilizing threads in conjunction with dermal fillers can provide an affordable long term natural youthful improvement. There is very little downtime with the procedure. Patients can be treated and return immediately to normal activity.
Threading is individually customized to the desired goals of each client. We have been using PDO threads in our clinic since December 2016 with excellent results. We have experienced our patient’s elation as they are transformed.
