Thread Face Lift

Absolutely! PDO thread lift is declared to be completely safe in the UK and in other countries around the world. The threads used for the procedure have a good safety profile since they are made of biocompatible materials that are dissolved in your body overtime.

Experts at CosmeDocs have also carried out multiple thread face lift procedures requested by patients thanks to its safety and effective results.

Moreover, the safety and efficacy of the treatment greatly relies on the aesthetic practitioner who performs it. Usually plastic surgeons or adequately trained doctors, well-versed in your facial anatomy and physiology should be your best options.

Men and women in their 30’s to their 50’s and beyond who are experiencing mild to severe skin sagging and drooping are quite suitable for face lift thread procedure. 

However, the doctor must examine your face thoroughly during the consultation to determine your eligibility for this non-invasive anti-ageing treatment.

Furthermore, younger patients can also significantly benefit from PDO thread lift if they desire a sharper and more angular facial profile and youthful neck.

The Thread lift London Cost at CosmeDocs starts from as low as £400 depending on the concern of the patient. However, the final thread lift price is confirmed upon a consultation with our expert who will advise you the best possible treatment tailored to your indications and expectations.

Please refer to the treatment price list mentioned above.

Like in any injectable treatment, you may experience a small ‘pinch’ or ‘prick’ during the insertion of the thread into your skin. However, thanks to the numbing effect of topical anaesthetic gel that is applied prior to your procedure and our highly skilled doctors, your discomfort is greatly minimised.

You can also gently apply a cold ice pack on the treated areas to reduce any possible swelling, redness or bruising.

PDO is an acronym for Polydioxanone, a material that has been in medical use for decades, especially as ‘dissolvable stitches’. The face lift thread also used for nose thread lift and neck thread lift is made of this synthetic and flexible material that is easily absorbed by your body.

PDO threads are available in 3 different types of textures mainly:

• Cog
• Screw
• Mono

Cog Threads:

This type of thread has a barbed-like texture that attaches to the skin, hence, adjusting and supporting the treated areas.

Screw Threads:

This kind of thread has one or two threads overlaid on one another around a needle that helps volume restoration, especially to the sunken areas of your face.

Mono Threads:

Such threads have smooth texture and are without any barbs. They are placed directly under the skin of the target area to achieve a skin tightening effect. Moreover, this tightening effect is enhanced with a boost in collagen production.

In order to determine what type of PDO thread is most suitable for you, it is important to have a detailed and honest consultation with an expert. 

During this important chat, your expectations, aesthetic concerns and treatment goals are discussed which will help in sorting out the appropriate thread for you.

Since there is no surgery involved in this procedure, hence,  you do not need to expect a significant downtime after your non-surgical face lift. However, for the next few days, experts do advise the patients to take a break from all kinds of strenuous activities such as:

• Jogging
• Gym workouts 
• Swimming

Be sure to strictly follow the aftercare guidelines of your doctor to avoid any unwanted complications following your thread face lift.

One of the biggest benefits of a thread lift at CosmeDocs is the instant gratification in the form of facial skin rejuvenation. Unlike in a surgical face lift, thread face lift results are natural looking and aesthetically pleasing.

Patients can expect to notice:

• A lifted midface or lower face area
• Contoured facial features
• Softer look of nasolabial folds or laugh lines
• Snatched and defined jawline
• Tight and taut neck skin

PDO threads are not permanent. However the effects last longer than many other non-invasive cosmetic treatments such as hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers that last for up to 6 months. 

The majority of the patients at CosmeDocs report that their results have lasted for up to 2 years. Nevertheless, there are many factors that influence the longevity of the effects such as:

• Age of the patients
• Condition and health of the patient’s skin
• Material of the thread used for the treatment

Even though this non-invasive skin tightening and lifting procedure has a safety profile and a proven efficacy record, there is always a slight chance that it may not go as per expectations. Some of the possible complications with the treatment are as follows:

• Infection
• Slight facial asymmetry
• Unwanted migration of threads
• Difficulty in facial movement or expressions

You can always avoid such a scenario by doing your due diligence and research on the procedure as well the doctor and the clinic. It is best to choose a place that has a good reputation with tons of satisfied thread lift before and after transformations as well as good reviews.

The PDO facelift treatment has few and temporary side effects that include bruising, numbness, mild swelling and skin tenderness with slight facial asymmetry. These subside in a few days but it is of vital importance that you choose the professional and experienced cosmetic doctor for the treatment to minimise the side effects.
