What Is A PDO Threadlift?

 

Imagine a string with prongs or cones in one direction. They can be inserted going with the grain, but, once we pull back, the prongs/cones catch hold of skin and pull the skin back in the desired direction with it.

The magic of a PDO ThreadLift lays in the kind of threads being used.

1. PDO (polydioxanone) threads are synthetic fibers that have been widely used for surgery for over 20 years. These threads have prongs or cones in one direction, allowing the threads to move exclusively in the opposite direction once they catch hold of something. When injected beneath the skin and pulled back, they bring the skin back, enabling it to keep the skin taught from the moment it is injected.

2. The other type is called a “Cogs” which are approximately 6-12cm in length and have small hooks on them that grip the skin and allow for pulling the skin against gravity. The Cogs are inserted in the skin via a blunt cannula (a technique we’ve been performing with dermal fillers for years) by making a small hole with a normal needle in the skin first. The same pulling technique is used with Cogs.

Threadlifts Produce Collagen

 

The second component of magic in a PDO threadlift is that in addition to immediately lifting sagging skin, the PDO threads also cause your body to stimulate new collagen. Collagen is the body’s natural miracle for keeping skin smooth, tight, and supple.

The combination of the threads and increased collagen creates a tighter, plumper, more youthful look for up to 5 years.
