Results that Matter
Although PDO Thread can be inserted / injected almost anywhere, one particular area that was missing a non-surgical procedure is the area of the Jaw & the Neck.
What Is PDO Thread Lift?
PDO stands for Polydioxanone which is a coiled synthetic absorbable suture material that is used in almost every type of surgery performed including cardiac operations. The biodegradable threads are slowly dissolved and absorbed in the body. Moreover, for six to eight months period, threads continue to stimulate skin collagen regeneration, which is safe and effective.
PDO threads have a high safety profile, complete absorption and minimal tissue reaction. The PDO threads generates tensing fibrosis in the surrounding tissue. The risk for scarring is absent when inserted correctly.
How it works?
The biodegradable threads are embedded into lower layer of dermis, which lift face shape according to the interval and direction of the threads. It stimulates the skin through threads themselves, further activating fibroblasts to produce collagen. Those threads can be completely dissolved in the body without generating foreign metabolites.
NovaThreads are needles that are pre-loaded with a PDO thread. Simply insert the whole needle in the interstitial tissue at subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin & pull the needle out. The PDO thread remains under the skin.
There are 2 types of PDO threads and various lift techniques which can be used either combined or separately. “Cogged threads” have tiny barbs on the entire length of the thread to gather subcutaneous tissue to lift cheeks and sagging skin through building new collagen which can contract naturally. In this way, new collage will secure the lift and give the lift a longer lasting result. The “Smooth threads” are smaller than the barbed sutures and they are placed under skin vertically and horizontally to create a mesh, this will serve as foundation for new collagen production. The outcomes appear naturally and gradually to improve fine lines and to firm the skin.
Desired results will be achieved by placing different types of threads and various techniques selected by Skinspire Laser & Skin Clinic providers.

FAQ
Is PDO thread lift safe for me?
Very safe, threads can be thoroughly metabolized to carbon dioxide and water by the human body after 180 days with no residue.
How old can i start the therapy?
Thread lift is perfect for anyone who is concerned about loose skin, rather than the elderly people. For example, sagging skin of some early twenties appears since sudden weight lost. Another example is “static beauty” caused by frequent hyaluronic acid injections, those people look unnatural when they have facial expressions. It can be corrected by PDO thread lift to pull the muscle back to natural positions.
What if the lifting effect seems transient or causes boomerang effect?
Definitely not. The aging of fat and muscle tissue starts from the age of 20 and moves down gradually. If you start Thread lift at the age of 25, you can reset them. After that, the treatment will be carried out at regular intervals, and the “checking for leakage” of each treatment can make the fat and muscle tissue return gradually to prevent sagging skin. When it is maintained for a long time, you will definitely look younger than peers.
However, the effect of Thread lift has limitation because aging is divided to generation of wrinkles, sagging and reduction of tissue volume. Hence, when your tissue capacity is reduced, you might need filling and lifting at the same time.
Although the threads will be metabolized, the threads have been used as a tree-like scaffold for cell growth in the body, constantly stimulating the skin to produce collagen and elastic fibers, resisting sagging before being metabolized.
At the same time, it can tighten the internal structure, remove wrinkles, shrink pores and brighten skin tone. Therefore, even if the thread is metabolized, the newly formed collagen and elastic fibers continue to play a role. Don’t worry about face dropping.
Can the sagging caused by excessive facial fat be improved with thread Lift?
The answer is yes, but it also varies from person to person. For example, there are three reasons for a chubby face: one is fat, the other is bone, and the third is the size of the masseter muscle. These three reasons all need to be targeted. It is not only whether the thread lift is useful for this situation, but it depends on what problems need to be solved. Thread lift can solve sagging caused by obesity, but it cannot solve the problem of obesity.

Will there be any wounds after thread lift?
The PDO thread lift is inserted from the hairline above the ear, and the tiny hole on the surface will recover after 24 to 48 hours.

How long it takes to be seen after treatment? How long it lasts?
One month after the shallow thread is inserted, effects of wrapping and lifting will be noticeable. Effects of deep thread will be stronger in about three months.
Regarding the maintenance time: the maintenance time of the thread lift is closely related to the thread material, the number and level of embedding, and the correct post-treatment care after procedure. The deep thread begins to degrade in about 180 days, and lifting effect can be maintained for more than 2 years. It is guaranteed that threads can be completely metabolized within two years with no residue. Not surprisingly, the maintenance time of the effect is also related to our own habits and normal facial expressions.
How many times can i receive pdo thread lift? How often i can do?
Facial thread lift can be done several times, in fact, it should be related to the skin condition of individuals, the material selected and the method decided by practitioners. Generally speaking, three times of thread lift is recommended for best results. It is known the skin condition is improved by 70% at once, then by 80% at second time, and by 90% at third times.
The basic concept is to lay the foundation for the first time through the use of thread to achieve the function of lifting and restoring the loose tissue. The second therapy is like simple decoration, it will strengthen the lifting, stabilize tissue and improve the local depression and sag, such as nasolabial fold, lower eyelid, Mandibular margin, cheeks, etc.. After three-time treatment via smooth thread, coiled thread and other threads, the final goal of improving the skin texture and tightening the skin by stimulating facial collagen regeneration is fulfilled.
The recommended interval between each therapy is 8-12 months.
Whether the PDO thread lift can be combined with other treatments?
If you want to fully lift the fascia layer and stimulate the collagen, it is recommended to cooperate with an Ultherapy. For the overall skin tightening purpose, we can focus on the details with the PDO thread lift. If you want to increase facial plumpness, Hyaluronic acid is compatible as well. Experienced doctors will make comprehensive designs with Hyaluronic acid, Mesotherapy, Ultherapy, and Lipodissolve Injection according to individual circumstances while doing PDO thread lift to achieve the best results.
By combining a number of different nonsurgical anti-aging treatments, patients can achieve a profoundly positive change in their appearance – without enduring the extended recovery time associated with surgery.
