Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that is able to produce long-lasting results. Unlike dermal fillers and injectables, which last for a few months to a year, thread lifting has been proven to produce results that can last for up to three years. This means that you can maintain your youthful look without any downtime. In addition to this, PDO threads are absorbed by the body after six months, so they do not require a long recovery time.
Non-invasive
Thread lifting (ร้อยไหม หน้าเรียว, term in Thai) is a popular procedure that can correct early signs of aging without the use of surgery. It can help men and women improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also improve sunken cheeks and droopy eyebrows. This procedure is a great alternative to traditional facelifts, and has several benefits.
Compared to traditional sutures, thread lifts are relatively low-risk and offer little recovery time. The procedure is also often combined with other non-surgical procedures for even more noticeable results.
Requires less recovery time
The thread lift procedure requires a shorter recovery time compared to other cosmetic procedures. Patients typically experience a few days of mild swelling and bruising. After the procedure, it is important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least one week. Patients can also expect skin to appear slightly dimpled or full after the procedure, but these should go away over time. Patients can also expect to feel some resistance when moving their face and a slight fullness in the area where the threads were placed. However, this will subside as the threads dissolve.
The thread lift procedure takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area treated. Patients can begin light exercises around a week after the procedure, and should avoid strenuous activities like weight lifting until their surgeon gives the go-ahead. Patients should also avoid engaging in a strenuous activity such as yoga, which requires the head to be held below the heart.
Reduces aging
A PDO thread lift is a surgical procedure that aims to lift the skin. This type of procedure does not require general anesthesia and has few risks. Patients can resume their normal daily activities after the procedure. However, they should avoid consuming alcohol and tobacco for several weeks. In addition, patients must avoid seeing a dentist for at least 30 days.
Reduces cost
The cost of thread lifting is highly variable and can vary widely between clinics and providers. Among the factors that determine the price are the number of threads used and their types. Not every patient needs the same number of threads, so there are ways to reduce the cost. In many cases, you can have the procedure performed by a nurse or esthetician.
PDO thread lifts can reduce crepey skin and fine lines. The long-barbed threads raise lax tissues and provide a lifted look to the brow, cheekbones, neck and jawline. They also help soften marionette lines and nasolabial folds. Many people opt for thread lifts to improve the look of their skin.
