The New Revolutionary Absorbable PDO Thread Lift

As we mentioned in the last blog post comparing PDO Thread Lifts with surgical face lifts, the surgical facelift has lots of side effects and can sometimes lead to undesirable changes to the face that may not be reversible. However, face lifting with the use of barbed cog threads has no side effects and the results are incredibly fascinating without causing any unwanted permanent changes to the face.

As soon as we insert the threads under the skin, the spines along the threads hook up under the skin in all the directions and make it possible for the practitioner to pull the skin in the opposite direction and create the desirable lift. This procedure is done with minimum discomfort for the patient and has no side effects.

What are the Barbed Cog Threads? Are They Safe?

One of the most important factors with regards to the barbed cog threads is the quality of the threads. The best PDO barbed cog threads available in North America are the 3D threads with 360 degree spines placed along the threads to provide the most effective lift for the skin. At our clinic, we use these 3D threads for our patients.

How Does the Lifting Actually Happen?

The barbed cog threads are inserted under the skin with the use of needles. These barbed cog threads are placed in the dermis layer of the skin, around 3mm-4mm depth under the skin. After insertion of the needles, the threads are released from the needles and the spines along the threads hook up to the skin. When the spines along the threads hook up to the skin, we can pull the skin and create a desirable lift. The barbed cog threads are used to lift the eyebrow, cheeks, and jowls.

These cog threads last for 6-8 months under the skin and after this period they get reabsorbed and eliminated from the body; however, the collagen and elastin fibers produced as a result of the presence of the threads under the skin, will last for a longer time. These collagen and elastin fibers make the skin firm and build up density and the foundation of the skin. This procedure is very natural and a great investment for your skin. As everyone knows, we lose the collagen and elastin under our skin as we age.  The barbed cog threads not only produce the immediate face lift but they also trigger the production of collagen and elastin fibers, which strengthen the texture of the skin.

Is Thread Lifting Right For Me?

People between the ages of 25-65 are great candidates for the barbed cog thread lift. In younger people, these threads function as prevention of aging and in older people it slows down the aging process.
