One of the most effective ways to a naturally youthful complexion even as you continue to age is to receive treatments that continue to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, with PDO thread lifts being a fantastic option even for those who have already developed moderate signs of aging in their skin.
There are several types of thread lifts available, with PDO (polydioxanone) thread lifts having been used for the longest amount of time over the other commonly used options. A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that places the thread into the surface of the skin, the presence of which stimulates increased production of collagen and elastin in the targeted area. Increased collagen and elastin production is one of the most effective ways to reduce the appearance of aging in the skin as both proteins provide the skin with elasticity and structure, providing a smooth and youthful complexion. The inserted threads will naturally dissolve into the skin over time, providing significant benefits as they slowly dissolve. The PDO threads are often placed in areas of the face that would most benefit from a lifting appearance due to the effects of aging such as around the eyes, jaw, neck, and cheeks.
The frequency at which clients should get PDO threads primarily depends on how their body responds to the polydioxanone, with the condition of the skin, and the age of the client also influencing the timeline. It is common for clients to have the treatment redone every 6 to 12 months, as it takes around 6 months for the threads to dissolve entirely causing the results to gradually decrease. However, those who are younger or naturally produce a bit more collagen or elastin will often find that they can go longer than one year or are even able to enjoy their results for closer to two years before needing their next session. Each client will experience their timeline for results, so it will be up to the client and the recommendations of the PDO thread lift provider to determine their maintenance schedule for follow-up treatments.
Since many clients choose to get PDO threads because it is a far less invasive treatment option and is not a surgical procedure, the ideal age to start considering this treatment will typically be some who is in their thirties and is often recommended for clients who are older until around 55 years of age. While it can certainly be performed on older clients, those with more significant signs of aging and collagen loss in their skin will likely require a more invasive option, or even a facelift surgery, to achieve the same results, unfortunately. The less invasive options will typically mean starting a bit earlier as mild to moderate signs of aging are much more effectively treated through PDO thread lifts. Some clients will be able to use PDO thread lifts as a preventative measure as well, maintaining an increased production of collagen and elastin before the loss of these proteins has a chance to start to take effect in the skin, providing them with a youthful complexion for much longer before the signs of aging will even start to develop.
The longevity of the PDO thread lift results can vary quite a bit, with most clients experiencing a halt and even reversal in the signs of aging in their skin for anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Age is a significant factor in estimating how long the PDO threads that were placed will continue to work their magic, with those with more mature skin likely only seeing an improvement in the elasticity and volume in their skin for around 1 to 2 years and younger clients enjoying their results for closer to 3 to 4 years. Clients are encouraged to receive regular maintenance treatments to prolong the beautiful, provided results, while also maintaining a good quality skin care regimen and proper protection of the skin from sun exposure or dehydration to prevent damage or further aging to their skin wherever possible.
The PDO thread lift technique is suitable for a variety of facial and body areas, including the cheekbones, jawline, neck, and stomach.
