What are the benefits of a PDO thread lift?
A PDO thread lift is a non-invasive treatment designed to tighten sagging skin and reduce the signs of aging. It uses Polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are thin, biodegradable sutures that get introduced into the middle layer of the skin to create an immediate lifting effect.
The process starts by applying a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area, ensuring a comfortable experience. Our highly trained practitioner then strategically places the PDO threads to smooth wrinkles and improve skin laxity.
These threads work by physically lifting the skin and promoting collagen production. As the sutures dissolve, they release lactic acid that further stimulates the production of collagen, leading to long-lasting skin enhancement.
At Kureshi Med Spa, we offer different types of PDO threads to cater to different needs:
● Mono threads: Ideal for addressing fine wrinkles and skin laxity.
● Cog threads: Equipped with barbed cones for a stronger lifting effect.
● Screw threads: Combine the properties of mono and cog threads, offering both support and lifting.
Experience a youthful, rejuvenated appearance without the need for invasive surgery.
We use different types of threads during this procedure. For instance, mono threads are smooth, single threads ideal for treating fine lines through subtle lifting and tightening. Cog threads, on the other hand, provide a more noticeable lift suitable for areas with more sagging or loose skin due to their barbed texture. Screw threads are used for adding volume to the treated area and can be combined with other thread types to achieve the desired result.
Additionally, we utilize different shapes of threads. Straight threads are used for a lateral or lifting effect, while barbed threads are optimal for vertical lifting and adding volume. Conical threads stimulate collagen production, creating a natural skin rejuvenation effect.
The length and gauge of the threads play a critical role in the procedure. The length determines the depth and extent of the lift, while the gauge refers to the thickness of the thread. Depending on the desired effect, finer gauges provide a more natural look, while thicker gauges offer stronger support.
These threads are strategically places in various areas, such as the cheeks to elevate sagging skin and enhance cheekbones, the jawline to define it and reduce jowls, the eyebrows to lift and shape them, the forehead to smooth wrinkles and reduce frown lines, and the neck to improve skin laxity and tighten the area.
Lastly, we typically use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area during the procedure, although some patients may opt for general anesthesia. We encourage a detailed discussion with our experts at Kureshi Med Spa to determine the most appropriate plan for your aesthetic goals.
The longevity of a PDO thread lift typically ranges between 1 to 2 years, though this can differ from person to person. Factors such as age, skin type, the specific area of the face treated, and lifestyle can influence the duration of the results.
The type of PDO threads used can also impact the outcome. We usually employ monofilament threads, which last about 6-12 months, or cogged or barbed threads that can extend results for up to 2 years.
Clients with healthy, firm skin tend to experience longer-lasting effects from the PDO thread lift than those with thinner, more sagging skin. Our expert team ensures optimal placement of threads for the best results possible.
We advise our clients to maintain a healthy lifestyle post-procedure, as factors like smoking, excessive sun exposure, and significant weight fluctuations can negatively impact the duration of the results. Taking good care of your skin, including sun protection, a healthy diet, and a robust skincare regimen, can promote longer-lasting effects.
The PDO threads used at Kureshi Med Spa are composed of a biodegradable substance, polydioxanone (PDO), which the body gradually absorbs over 6 to 8 months. During this period, the threads stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin texture and firmness, and extending the lift’s effects.
Even after the PDO threads have completely dissolved, the lift results continue due to ongoing collagen stimulation, ensuring the skin remains tight and lifted.
However, while the PDO thread lift can deliver impressive anti-aging effects, it cannot stop the natural aging process. Therefore, wrinkles and sagging can eventually reappear. Many of our clients choose to schedule regular touch-ups or additional treatments every one or two years to maintain their youthful, refreshed appearance.
Our PDO thread lift procedure uses Polydioxanone threads to pull and tighten the skin, providing instant lifting. The threads redefine facial contours and reduce wrinkles and fine lines, giving you a more youthful, refreshed, and rejuvenated appearance.
The PDO thread lift not only lifts and tightens, but also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. The trauma caused by the introduction of PDO threads triggers the body’s healing response, increasing collagen production and leading to natural-looking skin tightening effects that improve over time.
One of the major benefits of a PDO thread lift is minimal downtime and quick recovery. Our experienced doctor, Dr. Kureshi performs this procedure with minimal invasiveness, leading to fewer risks of complications and a shorter recovery time.
Our PDO thread lift procedure is not limited to the face. It is also used to treat sagging skin on various facial areas, including the brow line, cheeks, jawline, and neck. We also use it to address aging concerns in other body parts like the abdomen and upper arms. At Kureshi Med Spa, we ensure our PDO thread lifts provide natural-looking and long-lasting results. The threads used in the procedure are typically transparent or have a natural skin tone, offering a subtle and natural-looking enhancement. The skin tightening effects of a PDO thread lift can last up to one to two years, and these results can be further enhanced with maintenance treatments.
