MEDITHREAD’S NON-SURGICAL LIFT USING PDO THREADS
The thread lift procedure has radically changed the aesthetic world. PDO thread lift is now amongst the most popular non-invasive lifts available. Resulting in your skin being lifted and smoothened without having to be put under for surgery.
WHAT IS PDO THREAD LIFT?
The PDO (Polydioxanone) thread lift is a non-invasive treatment which lifts and tightens sagging skin tissue, using threads made of PDO. The threads are introduced into the deeper layers of the skin. Once introduced, the threads have 3 amazing effects on the skin:
The thread lift will result in your skin tightening, by contracting fat tissue. Also, it will result in collagen stimulation, which promotes cellular renewal and improves skin texture, fine lines and elasticity. Lastly, it will result in Instant skin lifting. More commonly referred to as PDO instant result.
The lifted facial contour will remain for about 12-15 months after procedure, due to the collagen stimulation effects. After six months, after the procedure, PDO threads will disappear because they are absorbable. Your skin cells are stimulated to produce new collagen, and new blood vessels to improve skin microcirculation. At the same time, the PDO threads cause the fat tissue to contract and produce the skin tightening effect.
