Surgical Threadlift
About the treatment
Tightening and mechanical lifting are very different concepts. While mono threads can stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, they do not constitute a mechanical lift.
Larger, stronger threads with cogs or barbs (PDO lifting threads) are inserted slightly deeper under the skin, draping and repositioning the tissues at a higher position to result in a subtle lift.
This treatment will need to be repeated for a sustained lift as tissue is not permanently fixed like in Meloplasty (facelift surgery).
Results
A surgical thread lift is a type of procedure wherein temporary sutures are used to produce a subtle but visible “lift” in the skin by suspending loose facial skin.
