Thread Lift Before and After Results

PDO thread lift is a revolutionary new therapy in the world of cosmetics, PDO threads have been successfully used for decades for a number of uses, including treating gynaecological issues and suturing incisions following medical procedures. When utilising it as an aesthetic therapy, there are a few factors to bear in mind.

For starters, it lifts the skin immediately. Second, it constricts fat tissue, tightening the skin immediately. Third, it promotes collagen synthesis and neovascularization, allowing your skin to regenerate at a cellular level. All of this helps to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and make skin more elastic.

A thread lift is a technique in which a dissolvable suture is used to raise and tighten the skin. It is less invasive than facelift surgery and may typically be completed in less than 45 minutes without the use of a knife.

For Polydioxanone (PDO) thread lifts, the biodegradable polyester suture is utilised. They are ideal for skin rejuvenation, although certain newer forms of thread lifts are more effective at raising drooping skin.

A Thread lift treatment can help tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, and body while improving skin quality:

• Lift mild to moderate skin laxity at the mid-face, jowls and lower face.
• Sharpen the jawline and support the neck contour.
• Open the outer eye when used for a brow/temple lift.
• Smooth and rejuvenate arms, abdomen and buttocks.
• Kick-start collagen synthesis for firmer skin quality over time.

At Dr Matla, we use advanced threads (including Aptos where indicated) placed with meticulous vector planning for a natural, “you, rested” look rather than an over-pulled finish.

Before we begin, a topical numbing agent and a local anaesthetic will be applied to the treatment site. The needle used in this treatment is so small that it will not cause you any discomfort. We do, however, administer anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Once the anaesthesia has worn off, your treatment will begin. PDO threads are introduced via cannulas or blunt-tipped sharp-tipped needles. After being implanted into the appropriate layer of skin, they act as anchors as the skin is raised upwards. The extraneous threads are then snipped.

Absolutely! PDO threads complement a range of cosmetic enhancements. When PDO threads are combined with PRP and other cosmetic treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, the results can be remarkable, they amplify lifting, firming and the rejuvenating effects.

The thickness of the threads, the quality of the threads, and your body’s rate of metabolism all influence how long the PDO threads last. However, the majority of our clients report that the threads have disintegrated within six to nine months.

In a report published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, a surgeon with 16 years of experience with thread lifts states that he has observed results lasting anywhere from one to nine years. Three to four years is a typical duration for the outcomes of younger individuals. Typically, older individuals with poor skin volume or elasticity only experience advantages for one to two years.

Some of the treatment’s effects, such as skin lifting and some of the contouring effects, are noticeable right away. In fact, when you leave our clinic, your skin may appear tighter than it will a week later.

Within one to two months of your procedure, you will witness the complete benefits of your PDO thread lift. Your age has a big impact on how long it takes you. One of the most important elements in how rapidly your body generates new, healthy collagen is your age. Collagen is the protein that plumps up, smoothes out wrinkles, and fills in fine lines.

Aftercare tips following your Thread Lift Treatment: 

• Sleep on your back with your head elevated for 3–5 nights.
• Keep big expressions and vigorous chewing to a minimum for a few days.
• Avoid facials, heat treatments and strenuous exercise for 7–10 days.
• Don’t massage the area unless we tell you to.

These small steps help your new collagen scaffold set properly.

For structure plus skin quality, we can combine your threads with:

• Hyaluronic acid fillers for extra volume where needed.
• Skin boosters/polynucleotides to hydrate and repair.
• RF microneedling to tighten skin texture.

We’ll sequence treatments safely to preserve the lift vectors.
