Medical Threads for a Confidence Boost

What are Medical Threads?

Medical Threads are a non-surgical facelift. By inserting tiny, dissolvable threads beneath the skin, we lift and firm sagging areas for a more youthful appearance. With minimal downtime and lasting results, this cutting-edge treatment is perfect for anyone looking to restore their youthful glow.

Indications for Treatment.

 

Facial droop/descent  “Non-surgical facelift".

Jawline augmentation.

Tear trough treatments, sunken hollows under the eyes.

Forehead lines.

Upper lip “barcode lines” above the mouth.

Marionette Lines under the corner of the mouth.

Crows feet lines.

As we age, we lose our facial fat and our facial support structure weakens. The cheeks become less well defined and a heaviness develops in the lower third of the face. The jowls become more prominent as do the nasolabial lines which run from the bottom of the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Whilst some of these changes can be nicely and naturally addressed with dermal fillers, there are times when more of a true and actual lift is desired and that is where PDO threads have a very useful clinical role to play. They can act to tighten and lift loose sagging skin and rejuvenate and refresh the face in a very natural way. Much more true lifting can be achieved than can be achieved with dermal fillers. They are an ideal solution for clients aged between 35 and 55 who have noticed these age-related changes but do not want to commit to a full surgical facelift.

A PDO Thread lift is a very safe and minimally invasive medical procedure using dissolving threads to both lift the face and to redefine and restore naturally a more youthful look. The threads give an immediate physical lifting effect and then longer term, over the following weeks stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the skin which creates firmer more rejuvenated skin. The threads themself slowly dissolve, being made from a similar material to dissolving deep surgical sutures, over 3 months, so there is no long-term foreign material left in the face but results should last a full year.

Tear trough threads are an exciting new option to address the hollowing or sunken appearance under the eyes that gives us a tired look to our upper face. In the past, we would have treated these with tear trough fillers but unfortunately, many people are not suitable candidates for tear trough fillers and the results are often unsatisfactory. Popping a series of small threads under the skin below the eyes is in fact much safer than using a filler with less adverse effects and a more natural result that will again last for at least one year. These threads again stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid that produce a natural filling effect using the body’s own natural pathways.
