Collagen is the skin’s primary structural component. It’s a fibrous protein that holds your skin upright and prevents facial sagging. However, age, environmental pollutants, dietary habits, and other factors lead to the gradual loss of collagen, which, in turn, leads to facial aging. The loss of collagen eventually leads to sagging skin, loss of facial volume, and wrinkles. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, Henderson, we provide highly personalized PDO thread lifts to restore your skin’s collagen reserves and reverse the signs of aging.
A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical means of lifting your facial tissues and reversing the signs of aging. This procedure involves inserting polydioxanone sutures underneath the facial tissues to provide internal support and encourage collagen production. Polydioxanone is a biocompatible material generally used in surgical sutures. When inserted into your facial tissues, it encourages your body to produce collagen fibers, thereby filling out the fine lines, wrinkles, and hollows in your cheeks. PDO thread lifts help you achieve smooth and supple skin.
Barbed PDO threads contain tiny barbs that hold on to your sagging skin tissues to provide a dramatic and instantaneous lifting effect. Barbed threads also encourage collagen production, but they’re more suitable for instant results.
Smooth PDO threads don’t contain barbs to hold to skin tissues, so they’re inserted underneath the facial skin in a grid-like pattern. They provide some instant results, but they’re more suitable for long-lasting results via collagen production.
PDO thread lifts are suitable for patients seeking immediate and dramatic anti-aging results without surgeries or downtime. If you have fine lines, wrinkles, facial creases, sagging skin, or gaunt cheeks, you can consider PDO thread lift. However, you must be in generally good physical and mental health, and you should have realistic expectations from the procedure.
You may experience some pain and discomfort after your PDO thread lift. However, you can reduce post-treatment swelling and bruising with ice packs and over-the-counter medications, such as Tylenol. The side effects should dissipate in a few days, but you should avoid strenuous activities for a few days. The results will appear instantly, with gradual improvements for several months as your body produces new collagen fibers.
