As we age, our skin naturally begins to weaken due to a loss in elastic tissue (elastin), which results in loose skin around the mouth, jowl, cheek, and neck area. Thread facelifts are designed to help restore your facial structure by lifting and tightening the skin to reduce the visible signs of aging without surgery.

The thread facelift is a quick and simple procedure involving the introduction of Polydioxanone (PDO) threads via a thin tube beneath the skin attaching the threads to surrounding tissue. These threads anchor the tissue to lift the face almost instantly, and downtime is minimal.

This non-surgical facelift treatment will also help to tighten the skin and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are important in restoring the plumpness of the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

A tiny entry is made and the threads are inserted via a cannula along the marked contours and are attached to the tissue. Once the threads are in place the body produces new collagen around the thread, which helps to create a subtle and natural-looking lifting effect.

PDO thread facelifts are suitable for both men and women who are experiencing mild sagging, loose, or excess skin. If you are looking for a minimally invasive, relatively comfortable treatment that can help restore your natural facial structure and tighten the skin then this could be a great solution.

Thread facelift results often vary from patient to patient, but typically last from 12-18 months. It is possible to have the treatment again once the previous threads are fully dissolved.

Threads used in a PDO thread lift are typically made from polydioxanone a biodegradable material used for medical stitches which dissolves naturally within the body. The threads are generally fully dissolved 9 months following your treatment, while they help stimulate collagen production.
