PDO Thread Lift

Here at Naomi Waite Aesthetics we offer the PDO thread lift, which is a cutting-edge advancement in the field of aesthetics. Its popularity has grown in recent years with the desire to reverse the effects of aging on the skin without going under the knife. PDO threads, the foundation of the PDO thread lift treatment, have been safely used in surgical procedures for decades. PDO threads consist of polylactic acid and glycolic acid, which are biodegradable materials.

When PDO threads are used in an aesthetic treatment, the benefits are significant. Firstly, they improve the skin’s overall texture by lifting the sagging skin instantly. PDO threads work to mechanically pull at the drooping skin to create lift, contour, and improve the skin’s tone. Secondly, PDO threads contract the fat tissue under the skin, which results in instant tightening of the skin. This tightening makes the skin firm and youthful, while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The most exciting benefit of PDO thread lift is the collagen production it promotes. PDO threads activate the skin’s natural renewal processes at a cellular level. Collagen is the essential building block of the skin, and increases blood flow circulation to the skin. This increased blood circulation provides vital nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, which helps to regenerate new cells.

The result of PDO thread lift is a rejuvenated, more youthful-looking skin with significant improvements in skin texture, volume, and elasticity. PDO thread lift is quick and safe.

PDO thread lift is one of the most effective treatments available to reduce the effects of aging on the skin. It offers a range of benefits that go beyond quick lifting and tightening. PDO threads’ long-standing safety record and non-invasive nature make it a highly sought-after solution for anyone looking to enhance their appearance.

Because a PDO thread lift is so versatile, it can treat virtually any area of the face. These include the:

Neck

Jowls

Jaw line

Naso jugal folds

Nasolabial folds

Crow’s feet

Undereye area

Eyebrows

Cheeks

Marionette lines

The cheeks and the lower face/neck region are the most commonly treated. The cheeks and lower face are great regions to treat because they lend themselves so well to synergistic skin lifting treatments.

PDO COG THREAD LIFT

At Naomi Waite Aesthetics, we offer PDO threads as a non-surgical face lift option to help lift and tighten the skin of the face. A PDO COG thread lift is a popular treatment that is commonly referred to as the ‘no blade face lift’. This is because the procedure does not require any incisions to be made in the skin, making it a minimally invasive treatment.

Our expert team uses PDO COG threads to produce collagen in the skin and redefine the contours of the face. These threads are made from polydioxonone (PDO), which is a safe and biodegradable material that has been used in surgery for many years. PDO COG threads can be used on their own as a standalone procedure or in combination with other treatments to achieve the desired results.

Many of our patients have found that PDO COG threads provide immediate results that continue to improve over time, peaking at 3-6 months after treatment. The effects of this treatment can last between 2-3 years, making it a long-lasting and affordable solution for individuals who are looking for a non-surgical facelift.

It is important to note that there is no known interaction between hyaluronic acid filler and PDO threads. This makes the PDO COG thread lift a safe and effective option for individuals who have previously had filler treatments.

If you are considering a PDO COG thread lift, we encourage you to book a consultation with our team at Naomi Waite Aesthetics. We will be happy to discuss your options and help you choose the best treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals. Our friendly and professional team is committed to providing high-quality, personalised care to all of our patients.
