Thread Lift Vancouver (PDO Threads)
Uplift sagging skin and reverse signs of aging.
A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny threads made of polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. PDO threads are the same type of thread used in surgical sutures and dissolve over time, typically within 6 months to a year.
During a PDO thread lift, the healthcare provider will insert the PDO threads into the skin using a fine needle. The threads are then gently pulled to lift and tighten the skin.
PDO threads can be used to target a variety of areas on the face and neck, including the following:
Cheeks
Jowls
Jawline
Neck
Brows
Nose
PDO thread lifts have several benefits over traditional facelift surgery, including:
Minimal downtime: PDO thread lifts are a minimally invasive procedure that can be completed in just 30-60 minutes, with minimal downtime required.
Natural-looking results: PDO threads provide a subtle, natural-looking lift to the skin, without the need for surgery.
Minimal discomfort: The procedure is typically well-tolerated and requires only local anesthesia to numb the treatment area.
Long-lasting results: While the threads themselves dissolve over time, the collagen that forms around them can help to provide long-lasting lift and support to the skin.
As with any medical procedure, it's important to discuss any concerns or medical conditions with a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing treatment. While PDO thread lifts are generally considered safe and effective, they may not be appropriate for everyone, and the results may vary depending on individual factors such as skin type and aging.

FAQs
What is a thread lift treatment like?
During a thread lift procedure, patients may experience some discomfort, although the procedure is typically well-tolerated and requires only local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. The sensation during the procedure is often described as a mild tugging or pulling sensation as the threads are inserted and adjusted.
After the procedure, patients may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the treatment site. These side effects are typically mild and temporary, and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs.
Overall, a thread lift procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery that can provide subtle lifting and tightening of the skin. While everyone's experience may be slightly different, most patients report that the discomfort associated with the procedure is minimal and well-tolerated. If you are concerned about discomfort during the procedure, you can discuss pain management options with your healthcare provider prior to the treatment.
How long do thread lift effects last for?
Some effects of the procedure will usually be seen immediately, with collagen synthesis continuing to take effect for many months after the procedure. Overall, the effect should last for 1 to 2 years.
How safe are thread lifts?
When performed by a trained physician, thread lift procedure is very safe. It is an office procedure that requires little to no preparation on the patient’s part. The patient is able to leave immediately after the procedure is finished and drive home if needed.
