The growing interest in medical aesthetic procedures has led to the rapid advancement of techniques used in this field. Thread lift is one of these procedures — it eliminates facial sagging caused by aging and skin structure, offering quick visible results, easy application, and long-lasting effects.

Towards the late 30s, the sharp contours of the face begin to soften and become rounder. At the core of this change lies the bone structure and the beginning of skin sagging. The skin on the face is exposed more frequently to harsh weather conditions, sunlight, and cosmetic products, causing it to age and sag faster than other areas of the body.

It is a misconception that one must wait until older age to undergo thread lift procedures. Threads are much more effective when applied before the skin quality deteriorates significantly and sagging becomes pronounced.

Natural Facial Rejuvenation with Thread Lift

In the PDO Thread Lift procedure, special threads called “free floating” and “double needle” are used, which can be placed under local anesthesia without the need for any incisions.

The threads called “free floating” have special barbs on them, which help create a clearly visible lifting effect on the skin. It supports and rejuvenates the skin in the facial area, helping to restore the face’s natural V-shape. Thread treatments are an excellent choice for those who want a natural look, helping to restore the face’s structure to a V-shape.

As the name suggests, “double needle” threads have a needle at each end and are especially used for the forehead area and eyebrow lifting. The advantage of these threads is that they can be positioned more quickly, thanks to the needles at both ends. The procedure time with these threads is very short. Threads of different lengths are used in various areas according to the needs of the face.

How Is the PDO Thread Lift Procedure Performed?

This procedure is performed under local anesthesia. After the area to be treated is numbed with local anesthesia, the procedure is completed within 10–15 minutes, depending on the type of thread used. Since the procedure is performed with a needle, no incisions are required.

After the procedure, mild swelling may occur on the face for the first 7–10 days. After the third week, the facial contours start to become more defined as the face lifts upward. The best and most natural results become visible after three months. Due to their structure, the threads are absorbed by the body within 12 to 18 months, but the effects of the procedure continue. This occurs thanks to the skin-rejuvenating effect.
