PDO COG Thread Face Lift

Service Description

A Pro Cog Thread Face Lift, often referred to simply as a thread lift, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure aimed at lifting and tightening the skin using special threads. These threads are typically made from biocompatible materials such as polydioxanone (PDO), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), or polycaprolactone (PCL). Here's an overview of the procedure, its benefits, risks, and what to expect: Procedure Consultation: A thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential to determine if you're a suitable candidate for the procedure. The practitioner will assess your skin condition and discuss your aesthetic goals. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed, and a local anesthetic will be applied to minimize discomfort. Insertion: The threads are inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The threads are strategically placed to achieve the desired lifting effect. The threads have small barbs or cones that latch onto the skin tissue, allowing them to lift and support sagging areas. Adjustment: Once inserted, the threads are adjusted to ensure a natural-looking lift. The ends of the threads are then trimmed, and the insertion points are treated to minimize any potential for infection. Benefits Non-surgical: Unlike traditional facelifts, thread lifts are minimally invasive and do not require large incisions or general anesthesia. Quick procedure: The entire process usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment. Minimal downtime: Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. Gradual improvement: The threads stimulate collagen production, which can lead to improved skin texture and firmness over time. Risks and Side Effects Mild discomfort and swelling: Temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort at the insertion sites are common but usually resolve within a few days. Infection: Although rare, there is a risk of infection at the thread insertion points. What to Expect Immediate results: Some lifting and tightening effects will be noticeable immediately after the procedure. Continued improvement: The results will improve over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated. Longevity: The effects of a thread lift typically last between 1 to 3 years, depending on the type of threads used and individual skin characteristics and life style. Maintenance: To maintain the results, additional treatments may be recommended periodically.
