As we age, the skin becomes more and more limp and loses its firmness. Recently, treatments using lifting threads have been available on the market, which effectively improve the appearance of the skin. What is all this?
PDO threads
Lifting threads are made of polydioxane (PDO), which after a while dissolves without negative effects on the body. Depending on the type of thread, they have special strands or are made of microscopic hooks that open when introduced under the skin. In this way they provide a lifting effect. The treatment is suitable for people from 30 years of age. It is worth adding that it is not just about rejuvenation. You can also use threads to model the shape of the face, raise eyebrows, remove wrinkles, get rid of stretch marks or even firm the breasts. Importantly, the procedure can be carried out even with very thin skin or a thin layer of adipose tissue. It is necessary to adjust the appropriate thread, depending on the treatment. There are many preparations on the market, but one of the best of them is BARB 4D threads, their hooks decompose in the so-called four dimensions, thus leaving the effect of a strong facelift. There are also high quality Aptos Excellence threads, which contain polymoleic acid (L-lactic), which inhibits the aging process. They are used both to improve the appearance of the face and other parts of the body.
The course of the facelift with the use of thread
So what does the whole treatment look like? It is carried out under local anesthesia. It involves the administration of a thread in incessibly visible places on the body, with the help of a special guide needle, a thin needle-canula or a canula with a trocar. The entire implantation process takes only 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the part of the body where the strands are embedded.
The first effects can be seen immediately after implementing the thread. You can see how the skin “straights” or lifting the lot floats and stabilizes in a new place. Threads become a kind of scaffolding. After 6-8 months, the strands dissolve, but the process of rebuilding collagen fibers is started. The skin thickens, becomes more visibly younger, firmer, improves its tone.
The final formation of a new oval or lifting effects can be seen after 2-3 weeks, and smoothing wrinkles and improving the structure of the skin occurs after 2-3 months and lasts up to two years.
The effects of PDO facial modeling are compared to those obtained by plastic surgery. The advantage of a thread application is absolutely atraumatic passage through tissues. Very short recovery period. Importantly, the procedure can be given all year round – sunlight is not a contraindication. No side effects and complications.
