PDO (Polydioxanone) and Smooth Thread Lift

The PDO Thread Lift begins with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your facial or body concerns. During the procedure, fine PDO threads, composed of a biocompatible material, are meticulously inserted into specific areas using fine needles. These threads act as a supportive structure beneath the skin, gently lifting sagging tissue and defining facial contours. Over time, the PDO threads gradually dissolve, but not before stimulating collagen production. This natural process improves skin elasticity and firmness, creating a long-lasting rejuvenated appearance.

Smooth Thread Lifts, also made from PDO, target finer lines, wrinkles, and areas needing texture improvement. These threads are strategically placed in a crisscross or mesh pattern to create a supportive framework that smooths out the skin's surface. By stimulating collagen production, smooth threads enhance skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. As with the PDO Thread Lift, the threads dissolve over time, leaving behind revitalized skin with improved smoothness and diminished
fine lines.

Both PDO and Smooth Thread Lifts offer significant advantages:

• Non-Surgical: These treatments provide noticeable lifting and rejuvenation without the need for surgery, offering minimal downtime.
• Natural-Looking Results: The gradual lifting effect and collagen stimulation result in natural-looking enhancements to facial contours and skin texture.
• Longevity: Results typically last 1-2 years, depending on individual skin characteristics and lifestyle factors.
• Versatility: Suitable for various areas such as cheeks, jowls, jawline, neck, and even the body, these treatments offer comprehensive rejuvenation for multiple concerns.

After undergoing PDO or Smooth Thread Lift treatments, it's crucial to follow these aftercare steps to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects:

Avoid Touching or Massaging: Refrain from touching or massaging the treated
areas for at least 24-48 hours after the procedure. This helps prevent disrupting the placement of the threads and allows them to settle properly.
Use Cold Compresses (if recommended): If swelling occurs, apply cold compresses to the treated areas intermittently during the first 24 hours. This can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
Avoid Strenuous Activities: Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that may strain the treated areas for at least 1-2 weeks. This precaution prevents excessive movement of the threads and allows them to integrate into the skin properly.
Sleeping Position: Sleep with your head elevated on pillows for the first few nights after the procedure. This position can help minimize swelling and discomfort.
Skincare Products: Follow any specific skincare instructions provided by your practitioner. Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers suitable for your skin type. Avoid harsh chemicals or exfoliants that could irritate the treated areas.
Sun Protection: Protect your skin from direct sunlight by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Sun exposure can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation and interfere with the healing process.
Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Schedule and attend any follow-up appointments recommended by your practitioner. These appointments allow them to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure optimal results from the treatment.
Be Patient: Results from PDO and Smooth Thread Lifts gradually improve over several weeks as collagen production increases and the threads dissolve naturally. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and skincare regimen to prolong the benefits of your treatment.

By following these aftercare guidelines diligently, you can support the healing process,
minimize potential complications, and maximize the effectiveness of your PDO or Smooth
Thread Lift treatment.
