PDO Thread Lift: Non-Invasive Lifting Faro, Algarve, Almancil
Facial lifting without surgery, with immediate effect!
PDO thread lift, without surgery
Thread Lift (PDO) is a non-surgical lifting method based on the multiple placement of fully absorbable tensioning and biostimulating threads, which form a vector network that supports sagging, volume-deficient facial tissue.
The threads are 100% absorbable and made of polydioxanone (PDO), which, in addition to lifting the tissue, helps stimulate collagen production.
How does the thread lift facial procedure work?
Through a small entry point of less than 1mm, with no cuts or incisions, the threads are inserted into the facial tissue using cannulas and, once activated, lift the tissue into the desired position.
The procedure itself is relatively simple and quick (30–60 minutes), performed on an outpatient basis and requiring only local topical anesthesia.
Before choosing where to have the treatment done, it’s important to make sure the clinic you choose is trustworthy and uses quality techniques and materials.
At Atelier do Sorriso in Almancil, Algarve, you’ll find a team of specialists and our lasting guarantee of quality.
FAQ: Questions about PDO Thread Lifts
Thread Lifts: How Long Do They Last?
The results of thread lift treatment can last from 6 months to 1 year, depending on the type of thread used and the patient’s skin type.
Some factors, such as lifestyle and post-treatment care, can also affect how long the results last.
What Is the Recovery Time After a Thread Lift?
Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, though some swelling and bruising may take a week or more to go away.
Is Thread Lift Treatment Painful?
Discomfort is minimal, as topical anesthesia or small amounts of local anesthesia can be used when needed.
Thread Lift: What’s the Price?
The price of a thread lift treatment can vary quite a bit, depending on where you live, the type of thread used, and the clinic where the treatment is performed.
What Aftercare Is Needed Following a Thread Lift?
It’s recommended to follow post-treatment guidelines to achieve satisfactory results. Care varies depending on the treated area, the amount, and the type of threads used.
In general, it’s recommended to avoid opening the mouth too wide for 3 weeks, as well as high-impact sports, running, and sauna use.
Are There Side Effects of Thread Lifts?
Possible side effects include swelling, redness, pain, bruising, and asymmetry. Most of these effects are temporary.
Do Thread Lifts Replace a Surgical Facelift?
Thread lifts provide a more subtle lifting effect and are less invasive than a surgical facelift. However, they don’t replace the more dramatic results of surgery.
What are PDO thread lifts?
PDO thread lifts use biodegradable polydioxanone filaments to achieve a non-surgical facelift, stimulating collagen production and improving skin firmness.
Which areas of the face can be treated with PDO threads?
The most common areas include cheeks, jawline, neck, eyebrows, chin, and nasolabial folds.
Is there recovery time after a PDO thread lift?
Yes, but it’s short. Most patients can resume their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, with the possibility of slight swelling or bruising.
Are thread lifts compatible with other aesthetic treatments?
Yes. They can be combined with fillers, Botox, mesotherapy, and biostimulators to enhance results.
Are PDO threads safe?
Yes. The threads are biocompatible, absorbed by the body within about 6 months, and approved for medical use. The procedure should be performed by experienced professionals.
When does the thread lift effect become visible?
The effect is visible immediately after the procedure, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated.
