Key Factors for Aging in the Face

1. Bone Loss: As we age, the bones in our face gradually lose density and volume. This can lead to a reduction in structural support, causing the skin to sag and contributing to the appearance of jowls and a less defined jawline.
2. Collagen and Elastin Loss: Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. With age, the production of these proteins decreases, leading to a loss of skin firmness and the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Volume Loss: The fat pads in the face, which provide youthful fullness, diminish and shift downward over time. This volume loss can result in hollowed cheeks, sunken eyes, and deeper nasolabial folds.
4. Loss of Elasticity: The skin’s ability to stretch and bounce back diminishes with age due to the breakdown of elastin fibers. This loss of elasticity contributes to sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles.
5. Saggy Skin: As the skin loses its elasticity and volume, it begins to sag. This can lead to the development of jowls, heavy nasolabial folds, a drooping nasal tip, and loose skin around the neck.
6. Environmental Factors: Chronic sun exposure, smoking, and pollution can accelerate the aging process by damaging the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers. UV radiation, in particular, can cause photoaging, leading to premature wrinkles and pigmentation changes.
7. Lifestyle Factors: Diet, stress, sleep patterns, and skincare routines also play a significant role in how the skin ages. Poor nutrition, lack of sleep, and high stress levels can contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin.

Understanding these factors can help in choosing appropriate treatments and skincare routines to mitigate the effects of aging and maintain a youthful appearance.

How PDO Threads Help

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are absorbable sutures that are inserted into the skin to lift and tighten sagging skin by repositioning fat pads back to a more youthful state. PDO threads stimulate collagen production and provide a natural-looking lift. PDO threads can be used for various areas of the face, neck and body, including:

• PDO Facelift: Lifts and tightens sagging skin on the face.
• PDO Necklift: Improves the appearance of loose neck skin.
• PDO Jawline Contouring: Enhances the definition of the jawline.
• PDO Brow Lift: Botox brow lift must be performed first (at least 2 weeks before). Lifts and shapes the eyebrows for a more youthful look. We rarely recommend PDO brow lifts anymore, only on a case by case basis will these be performed.
• PDO Body: Lifts and shapes the belly button, or less commonly,  PDO breast lift, PDO butt lift, PDO knee lift, for a more youthful look. We rarely recommend PDO barbed lifts for the body, only on a case by case basis will these be performed.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What happens to the PDO threads? PDO threads are gradually absorbed by the body over 6-12 months. As they dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, which helps to maintain the lifting effect.
2. How long does the lift last? The lifting effect typically lasts 12-18 months, depending on individual factors and the number of threads used.
3. Is the procedure painful? Most patients experience minimal discomfort. An injectable anesthetic is administered and prescription medication Ketamine for pain and amnesia is available to ensure a comfortable experience during and after the procedure.
4. Are there any side effects? Common side effects include:

• Swelling typically lasts several days but can persist for up to 2 weeks from the soft tissue repositioning. Prednisone may be prescribed and Arnica tablets/cream is recommended along with ice the first 1-2 days as needed.
• Bruising
• Mild discomfort at the insertion sites
• Skin Dimpling: Temporary dimpling or puckering of the skin is possible, which usually resolves within a few days but may persist up to 2 weeks.
• Rare complications may include infection or allergic reactions

5. Who is a good candidate for PDO threadlift? Ideal candidates are individuals looking to lift and tighten sagging skin without surgery. It’s important to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.

Dispelling Myths About PDO Threads

• Myth: PDO threads are painful and leave scars.
  • Fact: The procedure is minimally invasive, 100% pain free from topical injected anesthesia. We also prescribe pain medication for the procedure and after for 3 days for comfort. Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The threads stimulate collagen production/microfibrosis under the skin keeping it tight and lifted. Superficial skin scarring is rare and may occur at the insertion site of the pdo threads in a very small population of patients who have a history of keloid scarring.
• Myth: PDO threads are not effective. Most people heal within 1-2 weeks 
  • Fact: When performed by an experienced provider, and enough threads are placed, PDO threads can provide significant lifting and tightening effects. We use the best and strongest threads on the market: MINT, Miracu.

Importance of an Experienced Provider

For optimal results, it’s crucial to have an experienced provider who is an expert in PDO threadlift techniques. Proper placement and the use of a greater number of threads can enhance the lifting effect and ensure natural-looking results.

Combining PDO Threads with Other Modalities

Combining PDO threads with other treatments can enhance and prolong the results. Consider combining PDO threadlift with:

• Radiofrequency Microneedling: Stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin.
• Botox: Reduces fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles.
• Dermal Fillers: Adds volume and contour to specific areas of the face.
