Threads have been used in cosmetic surgery for many years. They are completely safe regarding their materials and strictly conform to European safety regulations.

Typically, two main types of threads are used for thread lifts. Simple (PDO) and uplifting (COG). Simple threads are usually applied in large quantities (many rows together or women together in a mesh). While absorbed, they produce collagen that tightens and renews the skin.

It is the perfect alternative for people who are experiencing mild sagging but do not want surgery.

Where are they applied?

They can be used at age 30 or above, when the skin starts to sag and collagen levels begin to decline.

Following a PDO thread lift, natural collagen production and elastin regeneration is stimulated as well as tightening of the skin, without surgery. Simple (PDO) threads are used for very mild sagging; the results last approximately six months.

What are threads made of?

The threads are made of 100% biodegradable materials. The body absorbs them steadily and without any risk or adverse effects. During this process, the body produces collagen in order to replace the threads with new collagen fibers.

Process & Duration

The threads are applied through special tiny stitches in which the threads are embedded. The procedure takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

Suspension threads

The new facelift with special lifting threads has revolutionized cosmetic surgery, as the doctor can now treat facial sagging in one session without requiring a surgical procedure on the patient.

The suspension threads are also made of absorbable materials. They have special “hooks” or unique “cones” all around them so that they hook into the subcutaneous tissue and achieve a perfectly natural and discreet facelift. Suspension threads can significantly improve the appearance of sagging skin in the lower part of your face and under your neck.

This lifting effect lasts for 1.5 to 2 years.

After the treatment

It is common for the patient to notice minor injuries or small bruises on the face after applying the threads. These will go away after a few days. The plastic surgeon’s instructions help ensure the patient’s speedy and comfortable recovery.

Patients who undergo treatment with reconstructive threads should avoid hard foods and dental appointments and sleep on their back for the first week after treatment.
