PDO Thread lift + Smooth

A face lift is a major surgical procedure which costs a lot and involves general anesthetics, long operating times, prolonged downtime with significant bruising, swelling and pain

Thread lifts are non-surgical alternatives to traditional face lifts. However, results are not comparable to full face lifts. But at a fraction of the cost, quick treatment times, no general anesthetics, minimal bruising and pain, and practically no downtime, it is a fantastic option for many.

PDO Threads are temporary and get absorbed within 3 months. Effects last for 12 to 18 months and provide subtle lift.

You will have entry points of the threads marked onto your face and then a small amount of local anesthetic will be injected at the insertion sites. After insertion and placement of the threads they are tightened with you sitting up. Once the desired lifting effect has been achieved excess threads are cut away.

There are minimal side effects from this procedure. There is a small risk of bleeding from the insertion sites. There can be some swelling and bruising. This usually resolves within a week. Immediately after the procedure there is some tethering of the skin at the insertion site but this resolves within 48 hours. Risks of infection are low. After the procedure it is essential that certain activities are avoided for the first 3 weeks, including harsh washing and drying of the face, facial massages, further aesthetic treatment, contact sports and excessive facial movements during chewing. Often we will give you a compression garment to wear for the first 24 to 48 hours after which it should be worn at night for the next couple of weeks.
